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.

8 by 1000 at the NMHS track with 90 seconds rest. Honestly my very best repeats were the ones where I was getting less rest instead of more (because it naturally varied of course). I'm not sure why. Certainly showed improvement. 3:06, 3:05, 3:06, 3:08, 3:06, 3:05, 3:07, 3:04. (3:06 average). 

Evening: 5 miles.

Its only 7:30 am but I'm executively deciding right now to not run tonight as planned but tomorrow night instead to rest my body. Today we are making the 13 hour trek to Utah and I had to wake up at 4:20 to run. My run went about as well as can be expected under the circumstances. It felt a little tiring and at times I was lightheaded but at least I didn't feel any injuries. Pretty incredible that I haven't gotten less than 7.5 hours of sleep ever this summer until last night.

Nice 10 mile run in the morning toward Spanish fork. 3 strides.

Afternoon: was supposed to meet up with some guys to run in Provo but they didn't show up so I did 5 miles on my own. Just a tinge of IT pain, trying to take care of it.

Ran a 5 mile tempo run from Mapleton. A lot of it was into a storm up hobble creek canyon. It hurt pretty good and I'm sure whatever the pace was it was nothing insane. But hopefully I'm in good shape. This was my last hard workout before practice starts! 

Evening: 4 miles. Felt my IT band.

Ran up hobble creek canyon again. Still getting used to the altitude but the positive side is that my IT band felt fine.

Dang that was a run. This time since I was going farther I actually ran a good ways up hobble creek canyon. I went pretty hard from the start but didn't have it mapped out. I turned around as if I had been going at 6:30 pace, but the only mile I measured was a 6:15 which was probably the steepest mile I ran all day. So it was a great run until at about mile 14 the wheels kind of fell off a bit since I'm not used to having to run uphill at the end of a long run, especially a 17 miler.
