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.

Started in the back like normal. Didn't pass very aggressively and didn't work my way up as much as I needed to. Teammates went 20-21-22 a whole 30 seconds ahead of me. This has been a tough XC season for me. Sometimes that happens after I have a breakout. Just a not-the-best season (a la fall 2013, fall 2019). But I don't want to roll over! Nuttycombe week I felt good and ran well. This week I felt kind of tired and ran poorly (my workouts weren't way better either). I really want to be there for my team in two weeks in Iowa. Team ran well though, Wisconsin cleaned our clocks but as I predicted we narrowly lost to Michigan, 79-83 for 3rd and were well clear of 4th place. Girls won a tight battle for the title which is great, they deserve it. For various reasons we were outside for 2 hours after the race in pouring rain and I was FREEZING.
