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.

Total Distance

10.00

All week I've been kind of dreading this workout as it has continued to be postponed. I try to believe that a slow workout is better than none at all, but I felt that to do the Michigan justice, I couldn't aim for less than a 4:45 opening mile, which intimidated me based on my work this year. Even as I warmed up, I felt tired once again and didn't have any idea how it would go. In my experience, the first lap can tell you a lot about how your workout will go. My first lap was 67, which was a very, very good sign. 4:38 for the opening 1600. Then 3:32 and 2:17 for the 1200 and 800. The "mile" reps were around the athletic complex in 5:18, 5:07, and 5:12, and were about 4 seconds too far. They felt very easy. Amazingly, my legs felt great during that- the biggest issue was that I scorched my lungs on the first rep, which is to be expected when you do faster track work than you have in a while. It was in the low 30s when I ran and hardly windy (a huge upgrade from prior workouts and even previous days this week), but I really think I see an obvious difference maker, in that I'm a little lighter than before. I may still have a couple more pounds to go, too. Rest ended up being ~1:45. This workout is similar to the Ethan classic that I like in that both workouts require you to "recover" while still running relatively fast.
