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.

Just a short and slow run up to Falcon Heights and then directly to Falcon Heights park. I'm not urgent to beat this knee injury because I'm worried about getting in shape for the Get in Gear 2025. I just want to nip it because I want to run pain-free. So my plan for this week is to do so with short runs, stretching and strengthening.

No run today. It was warm outside but won't be like that forever so after getting my bike fixed yesterday I decided to go for a ride this morning. One lesson I learned is that a good running route isn't necessarily a good road biking route. I took east river road and then went down the hill at Hidden Falls on the way out, but the bumps and cracks prevented me from staying fast and enjoying myself. So on the way back from Crosby Farm I just biked right back up to river road. I went 21-22 miles overall and was hitting 19 mph from the top of the hill at Crosby Farm to the entrance of university area on Oak. I could've gone that fast the whole way but the terrain wasn't good for it. Crazy to go that fast and have it feel that easy.

Another easy run to Falcon Heights. Great cloudy fall weather. Knee felt better than Monday but I still feel something down there, so I'm not sure what to do next.

24.5 mile bike ride. It was 45 degrees out but with a long sleeve shirt and gloves I felt fine everywhere except more poor toes. One more reason why running is superior to biking. The ride went great until I actually got to the gateway trail, which was very bumpy. This was annoying and made me go slower. I hooked a left onto the Bruce Vento trail and followed it north to where it ends. I averaged about 17 miles per hour, though my cruising speed on a smooth runway was much higher. It feels weird to go on running routes so fast, taking half the time to get from point A to B.

Run in Bloomington as the sun rose with a guy I met who against improbably odds ran three of the same races as me this year: Garry B, Paavo, and the Spinal Sprint. Especially those last two are so random haha. Knee tightness unforunately.
