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.

Easy run around 9 min pace throughout.  Trying to get back to normal after another lay off from injury.  Did a strength training session later in the day.

Jogged easy for 40 minutes.  Still dealing with a pesky right adductor injury.  One of the worst injuries I've had.

90 minutes of very easy jogging.  Right leg still bothers.

40 minutes very easy.  I have narrowed down my injury to the Adductor Magnus.  Believe me, that sucker is important when running.  So I'm focused on working that area of the leg.

60 minutes of jogging with last 5 minutes gradually faster.  I think I finally got ahead of this adductor injury, but we'll see.
