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.

Very solid effort.  Legs were slow/clunky feeling, whiich makes sense.  Too many sets during weight training last night.

Legs a bit better, hamstrings are still a little sore.  Breaking up Squats & Deadlifts on different days from now on.

Weights after work.

Nice and easy endurance run.  Morton's neuroma in left foot was only pain issue.  Starts after 1 hour and flares up off and on thereafter.  At one point it was completely gone and then came back near the end.  Average pace 8:27.
