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.

The first annual running of the Hennepin Hundred. I completed the 50 mile race, not the 100. My finishing time was not my fastest, but not my slowest either. Perfect weather day and a great point-to-point course for someone like me (i.e. get lost easy, balance issues when tired). The trail runs along side a canal built in the early 1900s. Wish I lived nearby to run it more often. Anyway, I got third place in my age group so I shuffled away with an extra award. Really feel good about today's effort given my training.
