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 :) |

| | Morning workout at the north medford track. 6 by 1000 with 2 minutes rest. 3:11, 3:10, 3:10, 3:11, 3:08, 3:06. Felt alright. I had hoped to be a little faster. Time to work on stuff like this I guess.
Evening: 5 miles.

| | Yikes. 9 miles, then only two strides because at the end of my run I think I squeezed a blood vessel or something and felt some pain on my lower upper outside central (left) thigh (lol). Today I felt a little beat. The past couple times I have doubled I felt a little tired the next day, which doesn't surprise me a ton seeing as how I am essentially running, going to bed, and then waking up and the first thing I do is...run. But another concern is that I have always prided myself on the hilly training conditions I face every day (long runs, tempo runs, easy runs, etc.) But now that I am doing 8-10 miles a day every morning to avoid doubling 5 times a week (which I believe is the right choice for sure), it is simply pretty hard to not be daunted by or have that "hard day" feeling before or during a nine mile run around where I live. Hills are good but I may need to go somewhere else more often to chill off the intensity by just a hair in the future.

| | Felt pretty tired at the beginning which wasn't great but I got a nice second wind and was able to do my three loops on RoxyAnn. A bit over 6:45 pace in the end.
