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 on the mill due to ice pellets weather (9:50 avg). Wanted to bail after 20 minutes but caught some good vibes.  Fast finish.

3 miles before strength training (10:00 avg)

Strength training 1 hour. Too long, like to keep this around 30-45 minutes.

5.7 miles jog and walk combo (12:13 avg).  Back at it after left ITB flared up and forced me to take a couple days off earlier in the week.  Hope to tolerate jog and walk combo for a while. 

3.9 miles jog and walk combo (12:57 avg).  Left ITB cooperated, plan to foam roll and stretch again tonight.
