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.

Really hot out again so hit the treadmill.  Mentally, the heat and inside running is a real drag.  Average pace 8:12.

Ran outside regardless of the heat.  Ran first half in NEW running shoes (haven't bought new trainers in about 4 years) and the second half in some old racing flats.  Average pace 8:15.

Extremely hot run before lunch.  Just got in these miles as comfortable as I could in order to get back inside.  Average pace 8:14.
