Running Accomplishments:

Marathon PR - 3:05 (3:06 at Boston)

Completed a dozen marathons and a handful of 50 mile ultras.

Short-Term Running Goals:

Consistent aerobic and strength training.

Christie Clinic Half Marathon 4/27/24

Long-Term Running Goals:

Sub 1:35 in half marathon.  Then might consider taking a shot at full marathon again.

Personal:

I started more dedicated running and racing in my thirties.  Eventually I developed symptomatic bradycardia and SVT which required a cardiac pacemaker implant and a cardiac cath ablation.  It has taken a long time to get back to running consistently again.  Counting my blessings and trying to remain more balanced with fitness.

Slept like garbage last night after having argument with daughter over her late night phone usage.  Phone curfew now in place so more arguing expected over a stupid phone. 

5 miles on treadmill during lunch break with fast finish (8:50 avg).

No morning run as planned.  Another night of not great sleep, but no arguing from our daughter at least.

5 miles on the treadmill for lunch, super cold outside (8:44 avg).

6 miles on the treadmill during lunch (8:57 avg).  Time just slips away from me and I end up with another low mileage week.
