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.

Feelng better today.  I had some kind of cold sore throat thing over the weekend.  I was in a total funk and very tired.

Felt good until last mile when top of right foot started to bother me again.  This has been an on and off thing since May or so.  Some kind of tendonitis linked with the arch I believe.  Feels better when I run really high on the fore foot.

Still here and laying low since my right foot is bothersome.  I don't want to drag him along to TCM in two weeks.

Completed 18 miles today.  Ran moderately hard in the middle and easy on both ends.  Foot feels better when running faster.  Hurts more when I slow down.
