Short-Term Running Goals:

-Qualify for the 2024 Olympic marathon trials

Long-Term Running Goals:

-Run a few fast marathons. Grandma's, St. George, and Boston are on my target list. An Olympic Trials qualifier would be amazing. 

-Break stroller records? 

-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 served a mission in Rome, Italy from 2015 to 2017. I eat a whole food, plant-based diet, which I believe helps my running. I like chocolate shakes on sunday nights and I will always call the Pacific northwest home.

7:04 pace, down in the valley this afternoon. Knee pain starting to return. Sigh.

7:10 pace, Como classic...dark route? After 12.5 hours of travel, going out for a run in the cold at 8 pm felt great. And the stars were better than you'd think for being in the city. I'm glad I didn't let the sub-0 windchill stop me from continuing my streak of running outside. The fact that there was no snow on the ground helped a lot.

It was a good day for running. I made a controversial decision to do a long run in the afternoon when it was 12 degrees rather than 0. I only did reservoir woods, mostly because of my knee I think. But I actually ran 6:09 pace which is really good for that route. My knee didn't hurt either, and it wasn't just the hard running masking it. On the way back, especially up the hill in the woods, my mask made me feel like I was suffocating a bit and I had to pull it down despite the cold.

6:48 pace, east river road. If I keep this schedule up, I'm looking forward to days when its gets lighter out at this time of day.

6:51 pace, East River flats. I estimated that at this time of year I am gaining just 30 seconds of additional sunlight each evening which is kind of sad.
