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.

One of the better ideas I've had- the "GoPro workout". I checked out a gopro from the library and then me and Tanner switched off riding the bike and filming each other workout. It was really fun. I actually really like filming a lot as well. 8 by 200 w/ 1 min rest, then three minutes of rest before 4 by 100 with 1 minute rest.

Super windy, dusty day. Got tons of crap in my eyes. On the way out I felt super fast and realized why on the way back when I had to deal with the headwind. IR/IP/Core/Hurdle drills/ strides

Not a great workout, but it was rainy and windy. It was a simulation for my time trials on saturday. I really wanna break 2 before I go home, so I'd be stoked if I ran 51/ 2:00, but even if I ran 52/ 2:02 I'd be ok and confident about my chances of breaking 2 next Wednesday. It was 2 by 200 w/ 1 min rest at 400 pace, 4 minutes rest, then 2 by 400 w/ 1 min rest at 800 pace.

Actually the workout I said I did yesterday was  actually today... Yesterday I just ran 7 miles in the really crappy weather.

Altogether a solid day! Ran three miles in the afternoon with a couple friends who were borrowing mine and another kid's bike. So I already felt nice and loose a couple hours later when I went down to the track. Unfortunately, to my dismay, it was pretty windy (according to my phone 15 MPH when I left and 20 MPH when I got back). This was kind of frustrating, and I actually ended up deciding to run my 400 backwards because I was under the impression that the headwind was a little less strong when I had to run into it if I went that way. Anyway, with that all in mind, I should be happy that I ran a new open 400 PR of 52.91! I think I have sub 52 in the tank for next week. I then decided to just run a 600, so I gave myself 10 or 15 minutes of rest before running a backwards 600. I would have been stoked about 1:26, frustrated with a 1:30, and I thought what I needed to accomplish today was a 1:28. I ended up running 1:28.6. So I did what I needed to do! I think I'll be ready to break 2 next Friday and run 51 on Saturday!
