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.

8.6 mi morning + 6.5 mi lunch, all easy pace. Just staying comfortable as possible over the next several weeks as I increase volume. Weighing myself same time everyday.

This running thing would be much easier if I didn't have a full time job, but then there is this money thing.

7.1 mi during lunch, temp was 80! No morning run as legs needed a break. Man, I've got a long way to go.

Increasing my salt and water intake in hopes to lessen my vasovagal symptoms while running. My bradycardia doesn't help matters either. Seems to take forever before my heart and pressure are good to go while running. No fun feeling flush, weak, tired, and overall out of sorts for 30 to 40 minutes at the beginning of each run. I've read that more salt and water can provide promising results.

9 mi morning before work + 6.1 mi during lunch hour, all easy pace. Felt better with salt boost. I hope it continues.
