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. |

| 9 miles (8:38 avg. pace) - Felt solid throughout. I think the most recent changes made to my pacemaker might be just what I needed. Running is starting to feel normal again after struggling since the pm install last summer. I hope this run wasn't a fluke.

Watermelon 5K (3.107 Miles) 00:21:51, Place overall: 26, Place in age division: 2 | Easy Miles | Marathon Pace Miles | Threshold Miles | VO2 Max Miles | Total Distance | 0.00 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 3.11 | 3.11 |
| My first 5K race and first race since having the pacemaker implant. Really pushed as hard as I could throughout. Started out a bit too fast but I didn't want to get trapped behind people. The pacemaker worked well, just think the max tracking rate can be set higher, currently at 150. I ended up second in the 40-49 age group and 26th out of 300 total runners with no one older finishing in front of me. I haven't completed a race in 19 months and feel this a solid result considering. Lord willing, I'm looking forward to racing some more.

| 6.5 mi before work. Legs were flat from strength training yesterday. Probably should have rested, but didn't run yesterday.
3.5 mi slow during lunch hour. After years spent slinging iron, I've finally come to the conclusion that strength training at near maximum weight and distance running simply don't mix. Strength training is a good thing, especially for older runners, but it can really make running a drag (pun intended). So going to mess with the schedule again.

| 5.9 mi in 1:00 - Starting an experiment after reading a couple physiology studies regarding opitimal pace and distance for aerobic development. The optimal pace is considered 50-75% of 5K pace with 65% the goal. Based on my recent 5K that means 8:45 to 10:30 pace with 9:30 for 65%. Faster tempo running will be done 1-2 times per week, only if I feel up to it, and only at a 20:1 slow to fast ratio. Strength training 2 times per week.

| AM - 11 miles easy. Heart rate took longer than usual to pick up. Once the pacemaker kicked in I felt fine. I then slowed down my running pace, but my heart rate drifted down too much which wipes me out. I had to walk and then force the pace once I started up again to bring the rate back up enough. Some days the pacemaker just doesn't operate right without me forcing it to work. Checkup with the Cardiologist next Monday.
