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.

I had been looking forward to an MLR at Resevoir Woods (because it's that time of year in Minnesota when you can look forward to your daily run) but the kids were grumpy this morning so somehow we decided to do a bike/run together, which seemed like a bit of a sacrifice at first. It turned out to be great. I think I am getting better at pushing the stroller. The girls did great. It wasn't as hot as it had been previous days so it felt great outside, and we had a really nice time running to Como park, all the way around the lake, and then I dropped them off at the playground and ran 3 miles all around the trails. Then we went home. It was just a really nice day and fun to do something like that as a family. It was also our first saturday doing something like this so the family got to enjoy the quiet streets. Amazingly enough, according to mapmyrun I hit exactly 14 miles. That's impressive. 6:39 pace for the overall run.
