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. |

| | 5 miles, then five more on the elliptcial. Plus some extra biking since apparently singlets aren't allowed in the weight room. Isaac is having me take two days completely off now. Yikes! It sounds like the right thing to do. But it won't be easy. I love running!

| | Ran to the field house, did elliptical for an hour, ran back. I felt while I was running zero pain- all that concerns me was that my body was naturally (against my will!) "limping" by not putting stress on my left foot/Achilles. Idk why. Does that mean I'm not healthy yet? We'll see Monday.

| | Today I ran to the gym to do elliptical. All week I've been doing elliptical, no running. Treating it a lot more aggressively including some other exercises for mobility and balance in the hope of getting better. Additionally, I have way ramped up my heel drops because I read that for elite athletes 15-25 isn't enough to put it under stress. Today I still felt like I was limping a bit.

| | 7 miles, felt better than ever.
NOTE: Today was Black Friday so I bought my 7th pair of Adidas AdiZero Tempos. I won't start using them right away (they're technically a Christmas present from my parents) but just so I can remember how many pairs I've purchased, that's the number we're up to now!

| | I just want to make sure I'm getting better, not worse. It hurt a little today so I just ran rather than risk it.

| | 8 miles. A little faster, and pain free, but still My body was naturally wanting to avoid stressing the Achilles.
