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.

Little over 10 miles going out and then back on Carterville. I should look that up. But I just really like the route. It feels super easy for some reason. Felt prettt solid, I'm planning on a light workout domani!

Wow! Nice day for a WORKOUT! So far I feel pretty good. We'll see if over the next couple days I stay this way. I went to the intramural fields for the grass. Plus I don't mind the fact that I don't know my exact pace for this first workout. I think the soft surface really helped. 5 by 2:30 with 1:1 recovery. It's hard to tell without cones, but I think I started a hair slower than 5 minute pace and finished a bit faster. It was tiring, but each one was faster than the one before. It's like my body is "learning" to run fast again!

This is probably the first time I've actually run 7 minute pace in a while. I just ran around on a grass field and then Kiwanis park because my Achilles' weren't feeling too hot. I mean, I should be grateful that I didn't "rip it open" like I did last time the day after a workout. Perhaps had I gone 10 miles on the road and done weights it would have. I just hope to be able to recover by tomorrow. That'll be way better than starting from scratch like I did in February.

Yikes. I ran the carterville loop, finishing at the fieldhouse. My left heel felt some pain right at the base that went on and off. It was mostly eccentric pain. So I did concentric lifts. We'll see how I feel tomorrow.

Yep, I didn't run. Just elliptical. The glimmer of hope is that the heel drops went well. I literally only did 50 pounds on the eccentrics. I plan to do those really agressively and hope to be back with it quickly. This time I will make sure I can easily do bodyweight drops (150 pounds) before I do a workout.
