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 :)

5:55 pace, Lake Johanna route. The past few weeks have been characterized by runs that felt tiring but were surprisingly quick. A few notes: 1) I didn't get out until 9:00, which resulted in there being more traffic in Roseville. I am definitely a fan of the 6:30-8:30 window for running. 2) My knee hurt a bit. That's a bummer. I decided to just do 3 wimpy strides on Como avenue at the end, rather than any sort of workout. 3) I forgot 2 things on my run. First, I stopped for a second, thinking I had taken a wrong turn (I hadn't). Second, for what I believe was the first time, I forgot to pick up a clothing item (gloves) that I had left behind early on.

6:44 pace, Boom Island. That is actually faster than expected given the circumstances.

6:25 pace, Como classic. On the way back, I decided to do a mini-workout, ultimately doing 3 min on, 1 off, 3 on, 1 off, 1 on. The reason for this was that I noticed I was already running quite fast anyway. Ultimately this may have been my fastest Como classic ever (<1 hour), and is at least in the top 3.
