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. |

| | 3 mile warmup then a 6 Tempo run going on the bike path north from Hawthorne park. Felt some IT pain about halfway in, so I actually turned back 30 seconds early, but it never developed. Once again, it was on the cool down that it hurt so I finished that early. Once again I went out too hard. I didn't keep splits but it was probably pretty fast going out and a little slower coming back. Gotta get better with that.

| | Well, I survived my 9 miler. I am bummed that I don't feel like my health has made huge strides forward. Maybe I need to rethink my recovery plan.

| | Fartlek 5-2-4-2-3-2 and then repeated again, for about six miles total. Felt good. I literally didn't feel any knee pain till the moment I finished my last hard effort. It also seemed almost too easy. By now my legs have learned to grind longer distances, now they need to learn to be quick on the short ones. Good effort.

| | Long run on the greenway. Maybe next time I won't time it so it won't be so competitive lol. Here were the splits I got: 6:43, 6:25, 6:15, 6:15, 6:05, 5:55, 5:45, 5:35, 5:34, 5:43, 5:42. It band felt really good. Rather, it didn't feel at all which is really good. Sub 6 pace overall and 5:40 pace for the last 5.
