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 :)

30-60-90-2 min-90-60-30 fartlek 1 minute rest. Feel more energy these days in Leesburg despite not getting great sleep due to a fussy baby. Maybe its the warmer weather.

AM: 12.25 miles. Beautiful cloudy day, but my favorite part was when the sun beamed through for a bit.

PM: 4 miles. Legs felt exceptionally stiff to begin that run. Idk if it was from my massage or what. Thankfully my plantar fascia and Achilles' tendons did less complaining, which is great.

4 mile tempo run in the light rain. I have the half mile splits. The way back felt uphill but maybe I was just tired- 60 feet over two miles isn't extremely significant I think. 2:30, 2:28, 2:30, 2:29. 2:33, 2:37, 2:38, 2:31. (5:05 pace overall)

2021 Running Report 

 

Total mileage: >3500 (new record) 

 

9.6 miles per day every day of the year 

 

11.2 miles a day, discounting Sundays, every day of the year 

 

<2:1- The ratio of miles I have driven the Accord since I bought it in 2018 to miles I have run 

 

396: New Record high monthly mileage set in July (equivalent to 12.8 miles each day of the month, or 14.7 miles per day Monday through Saturday throughout the month) 

 

~7 years: the amount of time it would take me to go around the circumference of the earth if I maintained the rate of running I did in 2021 

 

4: calendar years in a row that I have run equal to or greater than the driving distance between Medford, OR and Leesburg, VA (~2700 miles)

 

$3.57- the price of the shoes alone to take you as far as one gallon of gasoline would in you car, assuming the car gets 25 miles per gallon, one pair of shoes cost $100, and each pair lasts for 700 miles 

 

139: number of one-pound jars of peanut butter required to replace the estimated 350,000 calories burned during the running alone, besides increased excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (this may be an overestimate)

Run in the rain. 6:20 pace. Thankfully it wsa >50 degrees, because that amount of precipitation on that long of a run would have been a recipe for hypothermia in 40 degree weather. Also I didn't have any chafing issues which is a legit miracle.
