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. |

| | 44 minutes. Felt sore on both sides, but it went about as well as it possibly could have. It's been a quick recovery. 130/110 weights. I really hope to rid myself of this for good by the end of finals since I won't have access to the gym after that.

| | 60 minutes, fast and strong. At times I nearly forgot I was injured. Mostly my calves and Achilles just felt sore, especially on weights. On the concentric ones my left calve was shaking all over the place, it was kind of weird to watch (130/110).

| | One of the windiest days I've ever run. It was a good idea to wear sunglasses! I ended up with dirt on my face, in my teeth... Achilles were both sore. Hmm. 130/130

| | My legs were slapping the ground a bit. Not super healthy.

| | Really don't know what happened on Tuesday. I felt alright during the run but overnight things got a lot worse in my Achilles. Today I was back at it. I wanna be ready to workout by June. But I can wait longer if needed.

| | 40 min. I went in the morning so I could get to work later. It was pretty sketchy. Normally the past few mornings my Achilles has hurt pretty bad just walking. I made it, and it got better later, but I'll have to be careful.

| | Rather miraculously felt good today, notwithstanding the fact that after my run yesterday morning I was on my feet all day at 10 hours of work. 45 min. A common feeling of numbness as I didn't run my full range of motion to protect where I'm injured, but not nearly as bad as it could be.

| | 49 minutes in the morning. Thankfully, I felt pretty darn good for it being a morning run.
