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 strength and aerobic conditioning.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Personal:

Started runnning more regularly in 2005 after years of mostly strength training.  I have cut back on endurance training since developing heart and thyroid issues over the years.  Reintroduced strength training and walking sessions for a more balanced approach to health.

9 miles (8:38 avg. pace) - Felt solid throughout.  I think the most recent changes made to my pacemaker might be just what I needed.  Running is starting to feel normal again after struggling since the pm install last summer.  I hope this run wasn't a fluke.

6 miles - A hilly route through the park.  Everything felt fine heart wise.  Very sunny and warm.

5 mi on TM (8:40 avg), felt normal, but legs are getting sore with strength training.  See how they feel tomorrow, might need a rest day.
