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.

Well, back at it after taking last week mostly off on a family vacation in Colorado. Had a great time staying in Denver with friends who moved there. Hiking around Rocky Mountain National Park and white water rafting were some other highlights. Family really liked it there. So much to do there and trails galore. We already miss it.

All done very slowly. Legs and glutes were shot due to weight workout yesterday. A small victory getting even this done.

Hams were still sore, but oh buddy, terrific weather was calling today. Just had to make the most of it regardless of the discomfort. Plus I watched "Rudy" last night. One of mine and our daughter's fav movies.

Have to be careful as some areas are still sore from white water rafting last week and weights earlier in the week. Recovery seems to take forever after you turn 40. Can't wait for 50!
