Short-Term Running Goals: -Find some good local races to run that will motivate me to stay in shape. Long-Term Running Goals: -Run a few fast marathons. Grandma's, St. George, and Boston are on my target list.
-Stay fit for a very long time. I believe what goes into making a competitive runner at age 60 is much different than age 20, just like what goes into making a good marathoner differs from a good sprinter. I hope that by taking care of my body, I can be very fast for my age as I get older.
Personal: I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I live in the Twin Cities with my family and am an Epidemiology PhD Student. Running is the only hobby I have time for :) |

| | 5:59 pace, feeling relaxed most of the way before a 5 x 2 on, 2 off workout on the way back. You couldn't ask for a better day to run on west river road.

| | Today was steamy enough that I was pretty soaked, but it wasn't downright miserable, as has often happened a few times a year. On my way to the workout I stopped dead in my tracks, seeing a massive tree that fell onto a roof and pulled out all the grass between the sidewalk and curb with it after last night's storm.
First I did a 5 mile "fatigue" tempo along river road. I ran 5:16 pace, which felt fine-ish. As was the case last year, I ran faster than I intended to. The track work that came after an 8 minute rest went less well. First I ran a 4:56 1600 and had to actually kick it into gear to avoid running an embarassing non-sub 5 equivalent. After a couple of minutes, I then ran 2:23 for 800. Definitely have some fitness to work on. I wonder if each year it will get harder to get to where I have come to expect to be, even when I don't have excuses like new family members in the home. Admittedly, the track was as slippery as it ever has been with my slippery shoes and after the storm. A moderate wind didn't help. Still, that wasn't great.
