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 :)

7:31 pace on a tired day on Coal Mine. I actually ran a good deal fast coming back uphill, which shows how slow we started.

6:40 pace, ran on RoxyAnn. 3 loops is almost 1900 feet elevation gain. Felt tired at the outset, hopefully the weekend helps. 6 flat pace coming down the hill portion, 6:15 pace on my last loop.

This morning we went to Black Bear diner, so I had to wait patiently without eating anything so I could then do my run. I got a good deal though as I got to sample a few blackberries on the bike path. Starting on the flat was nice. After the blackberry thing, I decided I just couldn't leave Medford without doing a little workout on that trail. So I ran 2 miles (the only 2 remaining with markers) as a hard tempo, and did it in 9:44. Temps did not feel that bad.

7 flat pace for my last run in Medford. After years of living in Medford, I discovered a route upgrade, wherein you run along a trail on Larson creek such that the trail running starts close to Albertson's. This is great for hot days.

I was welcomed back to the Twin Cities with a grey and humid day in the aftermath of a storm. Once again I was reminded why I like to run in the morning, even if my body feels up to running otherwise (which it was). 6:51 pace, farmer's fields.

6:55 pace, west river north. I have a blister on my big toe which I hope is not related to these shoes. It makes me miss my Triumph 20s. Today was warm but will be a lot cooler than what is in store for the next few weeks.

6:58 pace, Diag / St. A parkway for one of the last times. Some moleskin helped my blister a bit.

6:12 pace, west river road. This route is always horrible to map on MapMyRun, and I feel like I might finally be "breaking up" with that awful website as FootPath (which I've been testing for about a week) did pretty well. I did a 54321 workout. This was probably my hottest LR yet this year.
