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 flat pace, Farmer's fields. Wore these shoes due to knee pain, with both knees feeling kind of tender today.

7 flat pace, Farmer's fields. I ran in the late afternoon, which was both really pretty and a little uncomfortable at the same time, coming from a long streak of morning runs.

Approximately 6:58 pace, but not certain. On the last run in my 20s, I feel slow, banged up, and old, haha. Left at 7 am this morning and was surprised how dark it was already.

For my birthday run, I just looped around Falcon Heights, and later did a 30-mile bike ride on an ebike.

7 flat pace, Res woods. My legs don't feel the pop I wish they did. I wonder if walking barefoot more will help my knees.

6:59 pace. While I have been running slower than I'd like, I have certainly been consistent. Today I experimented with a possible 8th and final CTC route, involving Cleveland Ave and County B West which I enjoy going on for some reason. It might be refined a bit, but should work.

6:04 pace, west river road. It actually felt slower than that, I wasn't trying to go very fast.

Today felt good. 6:53 pace, east river flats. It was a nice warm, surprisingly quiet fall day.

Res woods, including a 3 mile tempo on the way back at 5:07 pace. It is what it is. Caught my 2nd leaf today and first of the real season.

6:02 pace, west river road, Chain of Lakes fork. Beautiful fall day actually, despite it being the first day under 40 this year. It didn't feel cold. MapMyRun sank to a new low in trying to report this.

7:05 pace, Res Woods. Really unsure why I am going so slow these days.

Well, my pace was quicker today on Como lake loop (6:32), but it took a workout to make that happen. I did an "easy" workout of 2x(3,2,1). Fortunately, the worst parts for a workout (e.g., Como outdoor classroom) coincided with my recovery periods.
