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.

10 mi - A jaunt around town before work again. Starting to feel some aches and stiffness, but goes away after 5 minutes.  I'm asking for trouble by jumping in volume this quickly, but making up for it some by going slow and easy.  That's what I keep telling myself anyway.

10 mi - Managed to make it another 10.  Last two miles were difficult.  The lower legs have been the biggest protesters.

10 mi - Easy morning jog on a perfect weather day.  Coached girls softball afterward. Could've played all afternoon.
