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.

This is exciting! I ran 8 miles today and was wayy faster than last week and it also felt quite a bit easier. This is the first real, tangible difference I've seen in my running. Awesome! I was feeling it a little in my stomach though on the way back becasue of breakfast and decided to not do strides.

Really wacko run since my four year old running watch basically decided to die on me. I was supposed to run 7 miles and I think that's about what I ended up doing. Also four strides, not super hard like last time but a lot more controlled.

Hmm. I did my long run up RoxyAnn again. Today was the first day I tracked my run on mapmyrun afterward, where I found out my run was actually just 9.42 miles. That means I really was hardly going under 8 minute mile pace. Now, remember that there is a 1200 foot elevation gain involved, but still. Pazienza. 

RIP IRON MAN TRIATHLON WATCH. You have carried me for four or five years. From my rise in high school to one of the faster runners in the district, to freezing cold tempo runs training for track my senior year, to those early morning summer mile repeats as I prepared to walk on at BYU, to two years of serving the Lord and trying not to be late to appointments. You've served me well :)
