Completed a dozen marathons and a handful of 50 mile ultras. Short-Term Running Goals: Consistent aerobic and strength training. Long-Term Running Goals: Participate in 5k and 10k races. 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. |

| Easy run mixing in some faster paces during second half. I was going to do 20 miles, but my right leg has been complaining all week. This morning my right hamstring sent out a few bites so I slowed down and decided to shorten the run. It was feeling much better once it warmed up, but I had to be careful not to overstride. | | Comments(4) |

| The plan was to run 15 miles, but I felt like exploring a bit more because the conditions were excellent outside. Pushed the pace during miles 13-18 and the final mile. I hardly wear a watch anymore so all I know is it was faster than normal. Now it's family time. | | Comments(2) |

| Nothing fancy. Last mile was faster than the rest. It felt better than expected given the run yesterday. | | Add Comment |

| Another twelver with the last mile faster. Felt like a million bucks today with 53 and sunny conditions. I need to lose about 10 lbs to have a good race late in Oct. | | Comments(1) |

| A ho-hum twelver on a bike path. Mixed in some faster stuff during the second half, but just wanted to be done today. My mind was a total blank most of the time. | | Add Comment |

| Long run with some faster miles mixed in during the second half trying to trick the legs into thinking it was closer to 20 miles. Everything felt really good until mile 15 when I started to get some random aches in my lower hamstrings and left achilles. At first I thought I over did the speed, but then all the aches went away and I had a solid feeling during the last mile. Kind of strange. | | Comments(1) |

| I took the past two days off so I thought I'd push the distance today. Kept everything at a normal pace (in the 8s) and drank water throughout. It was a slug fest at miles 19-21 since I didn't take in any fuel. Thankfully it got a better during the last few miles so I didn't walk it in. Pretty tired now. | | Comments(1) |

12 miles at normal paces during the first half and then pushed the pace more during the second half mixing in some fartleks at various speeds. Legs were stiff during the first mile, but had good zip during the rest of the run. I think eating a solid meal last night was key to the recovery.
Jogged and walked 2 miles with Claire. | | Comments(1) |

| Intended to go my usual 12 miles, but after a bathroom stop I felt clammy and dizzy so I turned around at 4 miles. | | Add Comment |

Only thing worth noting is I mixed in some speed play and I hit a bad spot during miles 16 and 17 that eventually subsided. | | Comments(2) |

| A real struggle today. Just wasn't into running and the heat/humidity made it really tough at the end. I just wanted to sit down in the shade after this one. | | Add Comment |

A hilly 15 miles. Felt a little bit better, but was sweaty mess at the end because of the humidity. Felt good and tired at the end. | | Add Comment |

Better day temp and humidity wise. Ran really easy and enjoyed the trip more than the past couple of days. Included a fast quarter down to 10K pace during the last 3 miles. Focused on staying relaxed and effortless during the whole run. | | Add Comment |

| Absolute perfect day for running! Suppose to rain tomorrow so I did 20 today. Mixed in a faster quarter during each of the last 4 miles. I felt pretty good overall and probably could have stretched it out a bit more, but had to get back home. 4 more weeks until the marathon. | | Add Comment |
