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.

Totally shocked how good this run felt.  I made some nutrition changes recently, which could have helped, but weather was much better as well.

Morning run 8 mi along the usual route.  Really wish I lived in a spot with more route variability.  

Cross training workout on the bike (2 mi equiv) with strength training afterward.
