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.

Lunch hour run. Hot and humid combo, sluggish legs as well. Let the sweat fest begin!

AM: 7.1 miles outside early before work. Already in the 70s. 

LH: 4.0 miles on the treadmill because too hot out, 5 minutes ran faster. Followed by some weighted crunches.

Blew off my run this morning + talked myself out of lunch hour run because of heat = sweaty 5.5 miles on the treadmill after work.

Long jog on the trail. Heat and humidity bad again. I would have gotten an earlier start, but had to drive one of the kids to a car wash fundraiser at church. Just can't hang in these conditions anymore. No patience for suffering in dehydration.
