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 by k on a four segment route by the Church. I didn't know till afterward that you lose actually 100 feet of elevation combined on segment 1 and 2, and then gain it back of course on 3 and 4. I finished reps 9 and 10 on the downhill segments. Ran 2:58, 3:07, 3:12, 3:08, 2:54, 2:59, 3:08, 3:09, 2:56, 3:04. 

Also, today I surpassed my record for highest mileage calendar year of all time! It took longer than I hoped, but I am grateful to have done it. The first two months of the year I was injured, and then in March and even April I was still getting back into it and upping the mileage. Last year I was injured in November and December. If I stayed healthy an entire year, I could certainly break the record by a lot, but that is a lot to ask for.

Congratulations on your mileage for the year and also for a great recovery back from injury.

Stay healthy!
