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.

Completed a 25 mi run on the bike trail (8:18 avg).  Only water before and during workout.  Legs felt good and strong.  I'll now start to taper over the next 2 weeks.

Hi Jim - Racing 50 miles on July 25th up in Carlton, MN. My first attempt at an "ultra" distance. I'm shooting for top 5, but not sure what those last 10 miles will bring to the table.
