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.

4 miles - Legs were tired and heavy from squats yesterday.  A little faster pace near the end.

7 miles - Over lunch hour.  On the treadmill to give my hamstrings time to recover from squats.  Gradually faster paces, up to 8.7 mph, after 40 minutes of easy pace when my heart felt ready.
