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.

I had my 20 yr. class reunion last Sat.  Great time.  Not many recognized me after losing 75+ lbs.

Slogged out 12 miles in the heat, but I'll take this weather over the cold of winter any day.

Ran 9 mi in the heat.  I was going for 12 mi, but received news that I was shot down for a job I thought was a perfect fit so 9 mi was mentally enough for me today.  Now, time for a drink.
