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. |

| | AM: 5 miles.
PM: 8 miles. I was already low on time after the team meeting before my class, but I knew I should go get treatment for my achilles. They did "deep heating" and taped my leg. Idk which one it was, but it worked! I felt great. I think a lot of my achilles problems are due to tight calves. I should try loosening them up more.

| | 10 by K at intramural. My achilles tendon was sensitive but I didn't decide to pull the plug. We will see how smart that was tomorrow. 3:09, 3:07, 3:05, 3:06, 3:05, 3:04, 3:07, 3:07, 3:09, 3:08. Averaged 3:06. Felt really tired at the end (last four particularly), on a different day I'd be excited to see what I could do.

| | 8.5 miles on alter G (100%) and treadmill. Got heated today but still didn't feel spectacular. It's a tough decision with achilles problems because on the one hand you don't want to push it and push it until you hurt it really bad, but on the other hand, if you stop doing impact entirely, when you go back to even short easy runs its easy for it to flare up again. Thankfully I have been able to stay at full body weight but I would like to see things get under control again.

| | I was hoping today would be the last day of any repercussion from my achilles issue. Left side felt fine but I actually had a little niggle in my right side. We'll hope for the best.
