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:

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.

6.75 miles during lunch, general aerobic run. A breeze made it feel less humid.

I had my follow-up appt with the cardiologist yesterday. Resting pulse is still abnormally low (31 bpm on EKG), but he's not concerned since I'm symptom free now and EKG is normal. Told me to watch for symptoms (palpitations, dizziness, etc) as guide for doing too much.
