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.

Same as yesterday sans the weight workout. Don't feel as beat up from weights as I did last week. Another great weather day. Days are getting shorter though. Would like to run more in the morning, but getting before 5am consistently seems impossible.

Woke up at 5am but went back to sleep. A couple hours later was out for the usual Saturday morning run. Didn't feel good from the start. Wanted to go a bit further, but wimped out and called it quits early.
