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 :)

Total Distance
9.25

4x1600 at the track. Not as windy as last week. Here are my splits, not because I am proud of the splits, but because I am proud that for some reason I can remember them a few hours later without looking at my watch (I only recorded splits at the end of each mile anyway):

 4:57 (74, 2:28, 3:42); 4:55 (72, 2:25, 3:40); 4:51 (71, 2:23, 3:37); 4:49 (72, 2:25, 3:38).

About 3 minutes of rest for each. Even though it wasn't great, it feels good to do something hard.
