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.

Aerial Heights to Hillcrest. 7 flat pace. That's not bad given how hilly it is.

7:13 pace on another RoxyAnn run (not that pace really matters up there). I hope my achilles tendon will forgive me; I couldn't resist another nice morning up on the mountain.

Apparently 7:18 pace. I was running slow for my achilles tendons but I didn't think that slow. I was also feeling hypo based on breakfast. Misty run along east river flats and east river road.

I was surprised to see recently (and replicate) that I've seemingly put on some weight. I'm up to low 160s at best. This has been tough because I don't have any (good) reason why this should have happened. It certainly lowers my confidence that I can compete as a good runner still. So even though I was still recovering from the strain I put on my achilles this week, I ran the first half of this run out to the end of Minnehaha park hard. I decided to chill on the way back. And I got the confidence boost I needed, hitting 5:37 pace on the way out. 6:11s on the way back. With the easy end fresh in mind, that was the easiest 5:54 LR I've done in a while. Feeling good about things again!
