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. |

| | Sprinters were using the track today so I changed plans and went to the indoor track and did the Cas Loxsom/ Mark Weizorak (I know I totally butchered that) 3 by 400 w/ 4 min rest. I felt a little lazy doing that (I obviously can't do 500s on the indoor track, I would have no idea where to stop) but I really do think I'm gonna have to kind of switch roles to an 800 meter runner during these last few weeks before I race. That being said, this workout was neither a breakout nor a huge dissapointment,
56.1, 57.2, and 56.3

| | Good workout. I felt tired during the workout obviously, but recovered quickly, so I was also able to do some hurdle drills and injury prevention in addition to my normal pushups and core. It was cold and rainy out so I went to the indoor track and did 4 by 400 with 2 minutes rest, then 3 minutes rest before 4 by 200 with 1 minute rest. Colter from the 880 team ran the first 400 with me and got me off to a good, quick, start, which I am definitely grateful for.

| | Solid 10 miler. I was going to throw in a two mile tempo as part of it, but instead decided to just run hard like a normal long run from about miles three through eight. It felt good. This will be my longest run until May. In theory it could be my longest run before 2017!!! But I think I'll do a few longer runs before I run McLoughlin. Anyway, yea, I started a bit of a taper this week and will continue to taper further next week. I still have two short workouts next week but hopefully I'll be rested up on Saturday so I can do a time trial: 400 meters (hopefully in 52 seconds) and then an 800 (shooting for 2:01) as a build up to my race next week.
