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.

Yikes. 9 miles, then only two strides because at the end of my run I think I squeezed a blood vessel or something and felt some pain on my lower upper outside central (left) thigh (lol). Today I felt a little beat. The past couple times I have doubled I felt a little tired the next day, which doesn't surprise me a ton seeing as how I am essentially running, going to bed, and then waking up and the first thing I do is...run. But another concern is that I have always prided myself on the hilly training conditions I face every day (long runs, tempo runs, easy runs, etc.) But now that I am doing 8-10 miles a day every morning to avoid doubling 5 times a week (which I believe is the right choice for sure), it is simply pretty hard to not be daunted by or have that "hard day" feeling before or during a nine mile run around where I live. Hills are good but I may need to go somewhere else more often to chill off the intensity by just a hair in the future.
