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.

10 or 10.5 with my roommate Bryce. Felt really good. It may be better for me to run in the morning when I use the splint, of exercise the night before.

After yesterday's effort I expected to hurt more today, but although it felt fatigued throughout the day, I was fine on my run and ran quite fast on accident.

Smoky day from the fires. But then it got better. So I ran around the indoor track and then eventually decided to run outside. Right side was not feeling amazing.

Treadmill run because of the smoke. Of course on treadmills you can be running a light jog and it will say "4:20 pace" or you can be totally hauling and it will say "8:30 pace". I just tried to run what felt right. Didn't feel perfect but I did a couple strides afterward.

Really nice run on the river trail, 67 minutes and then three strides at 90 percent. I didn't feel like I could do a whole workout yet but that felt fine. Strength.

71 min. Office park loop. I thought that maybe I need to shift more Gradually into workouts, so I would do a bit of a fartlek. I ended up doing three hard sections of one minute each. The third one I quit a little before, I hope I didn't push too hard.

Ran in Orem along the bike path there. I'd like to go back. It would be great for tempo runs and you can run along the gravel on the side for easy days. After yesterday I felt a little rubberbandy/ floppy on the right side.

Not sure how to describe how it felt today. I think it is inproving though. Perhaps I should start building up by gradually doing longer portions faster, like 6 minute pace, then 5:30, etc.

Typical long run where I get up to "hardish" pace by halfway to halfway. Thus it was a pretty hard effort. I wonder why I can always do that. Maybe I need to implement that in my training and do other hard efforts as buildups rather than immediately going to 5:10 pace. 

I think it was about 5:48 pace overall.

New socks, new shoes, and I am grateful to be ready to implement my new game plan by degrees. It went well for today but we'll see tomorrow how it really went. Went to Murdock canal trail to run my only "workout" of  the week, a progression run. I have a long way to go but it was a good start. Not including the warm up and cool down, my miles were: 5:31, 5:27, 5:25, 5:14, 5:10. Average: 5:21.

Uh oh. This is very reminiscent of the last couple times I tried working out. I only went 56. Hopefully I'll be ok tomorrow.

I definitely was feeling it today. But at the same time, I may have been able to get over the hump of doing a workout and then having to revert back to elliptical. I'm not planning on doubling tomorrow, but I think I'll still be able to run. We'll see. 63 min of loops at Kiwanis park. Probably pretty slow but that grass really slows you down.

Wasn't perfect but it felt better. Glad to have been able to rebound without losing too much mileage.

5 miles in the AM. 10 miles in the afternoon. Didn't feel too bad. I started getting that exhausted feeling where I get really hungry, but that's way better than being injured eh.

Well... that was something. I think 28 plus miles in two days took a tole cuz by the time I turned around I didn't accelerate much more. I almost made it to the water fountain. My Achilles wasn't do amazing near the end either but it's Saturday so I finished it off, albeit slowly because of how tired I was. My feet felt like they were really slipping around in the Pegasus', so I tied them up a little higher just now.
