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. |

| Ran on the treadmill over the lunch hour. No heart rate issues. It's been nearly a year since the surgery, but I think the pacemaker settings are finally just about right.

4.5 mi - Lunch hour on the treadmill due to heat. HR didn't increase like it should so took a short break at 2 mi and restarted slowly using deep breathing to get it going. Finished fast.

| 6.4 mi - Morning run, legs were feeling flat and a little sore in spots. Just felt different.
3.6 mi - Lunch run to get to 10 miles for the day. Feeling good until mile 2 when an insulin bonk struck forcing me to slow down. The body is very sensitive to what I eat before a run.
