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.

I checked my log and can't believe how much I was running during this same time last year.  Depressing how much I've slipped.

Had to stop for some walking as knee was nagging again.  Frustrated and angry with the world today.  I haven't felt this depressed since my mother passed away over 10 years ago.  I feel stuck not only in running, but in life overall and not being able to run as much as I'd like is not helping.  Feeling like a failure in this life and really being hard on myself.  I just don't understand why all of this is happening.
