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:

None, just regular strength and aerobic conditioning.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Maybe complete some races again.

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.

6 mile sufferfest in the heat.  One of those times where you say "should have gotten this done earlier".
