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.

AM: Treadmill progression run of 7 mi down to 7:10 pace @ 2.5% incline.

PM: Easy run of 7.3 mi over a hilly course.  Temps are falling again and it was getting windy.  I'm a little disappointed in this run because I ran this route faster 2 weeks ago and my legs continued to be sluggish on the hills.  I had to slow down several times for black ice, but I still don't like the results this time around.

AM: Easy treadmill run of 5 miles progressing to a 2.5% incline + Strength training.

PM: Bone chilling cold outside so it was treadmill time again.  Ran easy 3 mi then picked up the pace to MP 1 mi + TP 1 mi + 10K pace 1 mi then finished off with 1 mi easy.  All done at 1-1.5% incline. 

I'm out the rest of the week on a trip with the Mrs.  I will update my mileage when I get back.  Have a great week.

First morning in Acapulco, Mexico.

I ran a total of 12 mi on the hotel treadmill with 5 mi @ TP (6:20-6:30).  We spent the rest of the day with friends lounging around the pool and beach.
