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.

Sloooow 6 miles on the treadmill.  Coming down with a cold (at lease I hope that's all it is).

I hope the cold bypasses. Keeping it slow and easy is a good decision. Our bodies are weak when were sick and it will knock the immune system.

Do you feel your ready in the training you've done for your next race?

Kory - Yes I feel ready given the volume of work I did this time around vs. last year before my PR/BQ.

Hope you get to filling better and this is a very short term bug. If you have to get sick I guess it is better now than right before the race.

Thanks Jim. I think it's a cold because the sore throat is leaving. I was afraid of the streph bug.
