Marathon PR - 3:05 (3:06 at Boston)

Completed a dozen marathons and a handful of 50 mile ultras.

Short-Term Running Goals:

None, just regular aerobic and strength conditioning.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Maybe complete some races 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.

A run outside in the cold and wind.  Over time I've grown to like the mill more than running in the cold.

6.7 mi run outside, various pickups during back half.  Surprised I'm not sore and sluggish from strength training a couple days ago, maybe I'm finally getting used to it.

Strength training session later in the day.
