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.

2x slow and easy running.  Second run was a bit faster.  Bodyweight is coming down slowly, which should help a great deal overall.  Strange thing is my legs feel a bit faster on the second or third run of the day then they do on the early morning trot.  Wasn't that way before.

Ran 2X today.  Mixed in a lot of fartleks, but no clock watching, just various distances at a steady controlled speed.

Ran 1x long endurance run.  Started out slow first 2 miles then repeated 2 min. fast + 8 min. easy for the remainder.  No idea how fast the "fast" sections were so I just marked them as MP, but the last 3 were tough.  Focused on staying in control and relaxed.  It was warm and sunny.  I was wiped out and hungry at the end.  That makes 4 weeks in a row of 100 miles.  Making progress, but it comes slowly.
