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.

I didn’t feel so good in my tummy before starting this workout. Thankfully it ended up feeling ok. We expected to run 10 by K at intramural today. Looking back, I wasn’t surprised we only did 8 with the race on Friday. I’m glad I kept within myself and think I could have held my pace for two more if needed and even go a bit faster at the end. The times might be irrelevant cuz we didn’t have wheel but we kept the turns pretty wide. 3:09, 3:06, 3:03, 3:03, 3:02, 3:02, 3:00, 3:02.

Grey day. Warmed up, then ran two by 400 @ race pace (67), and two 200s (29-31). Felt pretty fast! (Note: the pace felt fast, not me haha). I look forward to tomorrow. Hopefully it will be a nice small group thing and we all do well

Race day! First time racing in the jersey my brother gave me, and first time running a track race since 2019. My plan was to go out at the back of the pack and finish strong. That's basically what I did. Had to run sub 8:30 to PR and I ran 8:27.02. Not a huge improvement but we haven't really been training for this. I hope to continue to improve a lot. I saw my splits afterward though and I must say I am impressed with my teammates' ability to pace. I think I hit about 54 for each fifth-mile lap, with a 55 and maybe a 53 thrown in there, until the last lap.

Side note: I ran really well here two years ago (8:39 was my time and that was really good for me). I concluded three specific things helped me run well that all started with R: I was rested (took a power nap before), relaxed (not nervous), and ready (had run a race pace 400 on the outdoor track berforehand). Well, I did those same things today! Once again, my race pace 400 was slow (70) and felt hard. So it's nice to go in the race and be able to somehow run 67s. Also, I'm just happy to be healthy.

Thankfully it wasn't too cold in the snow storm, but I did roll my ankle. I hope it is ok, I don't think it was that serious but I did finish a little early (in terms of mileage, not time, because I was running 8 minute pace).
