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.

4.4 mile jog and walk in the morning

1.6 mile walk in afternoon

Had a new pacemaker implant procedure done yesterday. Suppose to take it easy for a week but feeling really good. Doc said heart is structurally sound and only has the pesky sick sinus issue. So he says I’m free to race again which I have been fearful of for some time. So let’s see what’s cooking in 2024.
