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.

Yikes. Today I ran toward Home Depot because it was the flattest way to do my first workout in years. First note Is that I've become an expert at running a decent pace, but running consistently fast on this fartlek was pretty awkward for my body. It wasn't very pretty but I'll get back into it soon. Second thing is that I wasn't able to run for as hard or as long as I had hoped because of my bursa. I am starting to realize why and with some good care am confident that within a couple days of recovery I'll be ready to go again.

Great run up Roxyann. It was easy and I was going pretty fast. Today I wasn't supposed to be recovering so it was more aerobic. I tried a new trail they have there. Won't make that mistake again. It's a miracle my ankles are still intact. Core/T10

Well, in the same way that my slow work sped up a lot in the first month I was doing it, I hope my fast work does to. There is certainly room to improve. On a rainy morning I went down to Bear Creek and the bike path to do a tempo run. I FINISHED IT! Bursa was alright. It was slow; 24 minutes for exactly 4 miles. But soon afterward I felt fine. Like some part of my body isn't ready to go faster yet but the rest is.

Its good to note that despite working 21 hours at the retirement home the last three days, I didn't feel any lingering exhaustion from that.
