Short-Term Running Goals: -Find some good local races to run that will motivate me to stay in shape. Long-Term Running Goals: -Run a few fast marathons. Grandma's, St. George, and Boston are on my target list.
-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 live in the Twin Cities with my family and am an Epidemiology PhD Student. Running is the only hobby I have time for :) |

| | 7 flat pace, east river flats. The heat didn't feel as bad as it might have. That route is thankfully quite shaded.

| | 6:54 pace, Como classic. I should be thankful because despite leaving a 8:30 or something, the run was not particularly unpleasant despite it probably nearing 80 degrees by when I returned.

| | Right as I was coming inside, I noticed "squishy shoes" for the first time this year. After my workout, I jogged to the shade of the soft surface trail before resting, and when I did, I felt like I was just glowing with heat. After cold ice water, a cold shower, a cold breakfast, standing in front of cold AC, it has still taken a couple of hours to feel my body temp come back down. My workout today was the same thing I did on 8/13/25- 3 Falcon Heights blocks of 3:3, 2:2, 1:1 float:hard, always starting on float. I ran 10:23, 10:27, and 10:36. That makes for 5:26 pace overall, 5 seconds slower than I ran last year. I was dissapointed to see that, as well as to have run so much slower on the last rep when I actually spent more time running "on" than the other two laps. It may be a combination of dehydration and heat getting to me, as well as what I've noticed this year is a lack of endurance in workouts. This was the last major workout before a possible race, so I will go in with less confidence than I would have liked to have had.

| | Smoke day 1. The smoke was so bad that I considered running after work out of concerns for pollution infiltration. Thankfully, they have an air purifier in there and during the summer it's actually nice that they blocked the windows from being open so people can't do that. Interestingly, on a day as hot as today, I actually came home less sweaty than I would have if I ran outside.

| | 6:20 pace, west river road. It was hot so I ran directly to WRR and then along each of the side paths all the way to the Minnehaha water fountain in hopes of escaping the sun. Felt worn out, perhaps by the sun.

| | Just under 7 flat pace, east river flats. I was slow but that didn't feel as hot.
