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.

Quicker than usual 10 miles, but still easy. Felt much better compared to yesterday.

AM - 3 quick miles outside before the rain, then 6 miles easy on the TM as it rained.

PM - 9 miles on a bike path. All easy again. Went to the doctor today to check out my irregular heart rate at times while running. Did an EKG and everything was normal. He thinks my resting pulse rate might be too low (36) and a lack of fuel combined with burping is causing a vasovagal episode. I was thinking the same thing. He's referred me to a cardiologist for a stress test to find out exactly what is happening. I don't really want to go through all this because I don't see a solution anyway. More for the wife's sake at this point.

AM - 7 miles easy, but in this humidity nothing seems easy for me.

PM - 10.5 miles out and back on the bike path. I was soaked once again by the end. I'll be on the TM the rest of the week while my wife is out of town.
