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.

AM:  Easy 1 mi, TP 5 mi (6:27 avg, 6:17-6:37 range, 143 HR avg), Easy 1 mi, MP 3 mi (6:53 avg overall).  The run was filled with ups and downs.  Felt great one mile and then sluggish the next.  I bailed on the tempo run early because I felt my right hamstring getting testy.  That's usually a sign of form break down for me, leaning forward or over striding.  So I took a 1 mile breather and then ran marathon pace the rest of the way.  Focused on cadence and moving the legs fast, which stopped the hamstring from barking.  I'll have to see how it feels during the run later today.

PM:  Slow to Easy 5 mi (8:10 avg)
