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 :) |

| | First day with the new shoes. They were certainly underwhelming from the expectation I had that they would be soft like Hokas Clifton 7s. Hopefully they will end up being worth the $80 each. On the bright side, I ran 6:40 pace for Como classic so while I'm not sure I would use them on workouts, it's clearly not like I'm tying bricks to my feet as some seemed to suggest online.

| | 6:47 pace coming back from east river road to rec center. 3 strides. Didn't count pace going out because I tried to run on the path that goes down from St Thomas jut. It's not the best.

| | 4x1600 at the track. Not as windy as last week. Here are my splits, not because I am proud of the splits, but because I am proud that for some reason I can remember them a few hours later without looking at my watch (I only recorded splits at the end of each mile anyway):
4:57 (74, 2:28, 3:42); 4:55 (72, 2:25, 3:40); 4:51 (71, 2:23, 3:37); 4:49 (72, 2:25, 3:38).
About 3 minutes of rest for each. Even though it wasn't great, it feels good to do something hard.

| | Tied record of 6:40 pace on east river flats, while wearing my Nimbus'. Not bad for a pair of clunkers!

| | 5:54 pace on the gateway trail.
Splits: 6:18, 6:05, 5:53, 5:59, 6:03, 5:57, 6:02, 6:06, 5:53, 6:07, 6:17, 6:02, 6:17, 5:25, 5:20, 5:17. 4:06 and 4:03 for the first and last chunk, 2:43 and 2:51 in the middle. The goal was to keep it nice and easy during the body of the run to conserve energy for a 3 mile tempo at the end. I was feeling kind of fatigued and it ended up being a battle. On the one hand, the last three measured miles are downhill (50 feet but you feel it), but it was also allegedly 17 mph winds going southeast and of course at that speed my shoes did end up feeling pretty slow. Not great still but I wanted to get in a workout since I won't next Wednesday in Chicago. Nice, quiet day on the trail.
