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. |

| | Another workout in Orem. Not to be a baby, but I might stop going there since this time I felt like I was running into the wind the whole time! Maybe it's just the stormy weather. I didn't run as fast as I had wanted, but I am not (overly) concerned since I had a similar issue in my summer 2014 and 2017 training blocks where I would just stop getting faster for a few weeks. Both seasons ended up being successful for me however. So I will be patient. Goal was: 3 by (5:40-5:45 mile, 5:00 mile). I ran 5:36, 5:13, 5:46, 5:12, 5:45, 5:08. I felt like at 5:45 pace I was recovering very slowly, but (aerobically speaking) I was recovering, which was good.

| | The greater portion was at Kiwanis. I think that really helps.

| | At times I could have felt better. But after I warmed up this morning, I felt really loose for a morning run.

| | I felt kind of like garbage on my run today in St. George. Sweat was getting in my eyes, I felt tired and my calcaneal tendon (proper anatomical term) was hurting. I could see into Arizona and last night accidentally drove there.

| | Today was one of those rare occasions where I overestimate my mileage. I shouldn't complain, I had an awesome run. I got back from St. George and immediately left for a cold, windy run at 7 pm or so. Coincidentally, it was the third time in a row when I just happened to run past the stadium during a football game. Anyway, I had really not been pushing it for most of the first miles, and I guess I forgot about that, because I turned back earlier than I should have. I was only going 6:34s on the way out. Then on the way back I just felt awesome. Lots of energy, I think I had the wind at my back, it was great! 5:22s. 5:58s overall.
