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.

6 miles in the morning on the treadmill (9:36 avg).  Great night of sleep for once.  The older I get the lighter I sleep it seems so now relying on ear plugs.  Finally found a set that doesn't hurt my ears.

4 miles during lunch on the treadmill (9:50 avg).  Slow and easy with hills for most of it and then progressively faster the last half mile.
