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. |

| | 52 minutes. I didn't have to go in the morning for work, but I decided to anyway. Hopefully that wasn't a bad choice. It hurt at first but the pain mostly went away.

| | 60 minutes. I'll see how things go after my weekend break and next week perhaps, but there's a small concern in my head that I am not getting healthier running for an hour plus at the speed I am going. My goal is not just to "survive", I want to get healthier.

| | I really disciplined myself to go slower. It was hard, but I might try it again tomorrow and hopefully I will see benefits from it. 66 minutes.

| | Same as yesterday. No huge differences yet but yesterday I felt good enough to play knockout for the first time in forever, so that's good.

| | Yesterday I went to Runner's corner to get new shoes. Awesome place. Their price matching policy is incredible. Very knowledgeable staff. I ended up going for Saucony Ride 10s. They are kind of ugly compared to the tempos. And I love how you don't even feel your feet when you run in the Tempos. But they have more padding so I'm hoping they will work well! This morning was alright, a little pain on the right side today.

| | Like usual, it hurt right off the bat, and then mostly went away, although I was checking myself the whole time because I was concerned about both sides. 6:30s ish on the way out, 5:40s on the way back.

| | Good run. I didn't sleep super well last night (someone accidentally turned on the heat haha) and I played ultimate frisbee yesterday (in my church clothes! Long story) so it was nice that I was able to run without problems. 70 minutes.

| | 12.9 miles. 6:12s on the way out, 5:25s on the way back. Should be noted that my first couple miles were pretty slow as I warmed up, maybe like 7:20 pace. Pretty soon after that I dropped it down quite severely to six minute pace or faster. 5:49s overall.

| | Hmm. I could feel my right side was tender at certain points. I'll try to be careful and avoid a big problem.

| | Because of how I felt yesterday and this morning, I chose to take it easy and do eliptical. There's probably over a 50 percent chance that I could have run 9 miles and be fine, but I can't afford to take risks like that.

| | Felt kind of cruddy. It's good that I stopped when I did, because I was limping a bit to avoid hurting my left side.
