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.

Self administered treadmill stress test. Stupid idea doing it unsupervised given my recent heart related concerns, but did it anyway. Resting heart rate prior to test 33. Reached intolerable exhaustion after 1.4 miles and heart rate max of 138. Based on the test result, my estimated VO2 max is 56, which is in the 55-60 range provided by other estimates.

Cooled down with an easy run of 2.6 miles afterward.

AM: 7.1 miles, felt easy because of rest and relative to stress test on Monday.

Lunch: 6 miles, no complaints. Noticed I don't get the usual "high" or energy surge at the 25-35 minute mark like I do during the first run of the day.

All easy paced jogs. Just need to keep things easy and build. Taking care of the kids today while Krista works. Plenty of chores to do and deal out as well. Kids love it when I stay home.

A nice jog before work. Feeling tired, but not sore or stiff. Wish I had another day off.

Perfect day for running. Out and back on the local bike trail. Taking it easy and keeping the pace at 8:30 to 9:30 range. Now go on a picnic with family.
