| Member Since: Aug 10, 2008 Gender: Male Goal Type: Other 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. 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. |

| Long run 15 mi outside (7:56 avg). I planned on just running 8 easy miles, but the weather was just too good. Injury is better, but I can't run fast or tackle many hills. | | Add Comment |

| On the treadmill did a easy run w/ PMP 2 mi (6:49 avg). Back of left knee/hamstring was a little touchy so I backed off. Dang. I'm thinking slow and steady is the way to go for the rest of this year. | | Add Comment |

Easy run 8 mi (7:47 avg). The weather was absolutely perfect with 60s and sun. Surprisingly the injury felt fine and I was good spirits (work has been difficult).
On a side note I ran into a friend while walking to my car last night and she asked "Are you still running a lot?". I replied with a "Uhhh, yeah I guess so". I never know what to say to that question since there are many people out there running a lot more. | | Comments(2) |

| Easy run 8 mi outside (7:47 avg) on exact same route as yesterday and only 1 sec. slower! The weather continues to be beautiful here with sun and 60s. I've pretty much written off any more racing this year. Bummed because I had some great weeks after running G-ma's in June. So I thought about my plans for next year during today's run. I'd like to run sub-3 at Boston and then push for another PR in the fall. As usual, probably too lofty, but I'm really going to try to keep my base higher than usual this winter. I know that will help. Undoubtedly will mean some treadmill time. Ahhhh, we all love that treadmill, right? | | Add Comment |

| Easy 15 mi run outside (8:01 avg, 115 HR avg). Another beautiful day in store. This is the best time of year to run the trails. Leaves are just starting to change over. I won't be racing this fall, but I count it a blessing to continue running during this time of year. My injury would heat up once and a while during this run. It's still not a real issue unless I turn up the pace or lengthen my stride. I'm fighting the tendency of my body wanting to surge forward during the run. I just have to learn more patience and keep it easy for the next 3-4 months. | | Comments(1) |
