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 :) |

| | Decided to do a workout today because why not? It's not every year you can do a track workout in early February. Within the past couple days, I have signed up for Get in Gear as well as Grandma's Half. Did 1.5 miles on the greenway and near the stadium in 7:44. Then after 7 minutes of break, I did 4 by 800 with 90 seconds rest in 2:23, 2:23, 2:24, 2:22. Original goals were 5 minute pace tempo and 2:25 800s. So I did ok at meeting my very meager goal? Haha. Gotta start somewhere- you have to work for your speed! Feels good to do something hard. Pretty windy this morning.

| | 6:45 pace, Como classic. Wind blowing due east made it cold on the way back, but I was surprised it didn't slow me down- I still came back faster.

| | A cold and windy day on the gateway trail (to Stillwater) but it was a day on the gateway trail nonetheless, so that's something to be grateful for. Averaged 5:57 overall, including 5:51 on the way back, which included a 5:09 last measured mile even though I felt crummy by that point. After last season I made a goal to do stuff like that more often; in essense, to push hard when my glycogen reserves are low to simulate a race (mosty physically but also psychologically).
