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.

Test number one was thankfully passed. I had a good idea to go for an 8 mile easy run today, then hit the eliptical for the remaining "two miles". It went well. A little soreness, but at that speed, nothing was too bad. Tomorrow will be the second test- will I get better or worse after today? My calve raises felt good.

Today we did a 3k time trial. I was very blessed to be able to run it. Then I was responsible enough to not do the workout afterward which was totally the right choice even though it was hard to not finish the workout. I talked to Isaac before about not going all out. In a way, I didn't. I certainly wasn't saving up energy, but I also felt that feeling in your thighs where you haven't run hard in several days and that slowed me down. I ran 9:01. 17 second PR not including altitude. I was hoping to be sub 8:40 at altitude right now. But first I gotta take care of my Achilles and keep on chugging.

8 miles running, 2 miles on elliptical. Achilles didn't feel as good as I hoped. We'll see tomorrow.

A couple of big things happened in the past 24 hours. One is that I finally decided on a major. The other is that I talked to my coach and he approved me taking my week break between XC and track this week instead of two weeks from now so I can get healthy instead of limping through the end of cross (or potentially worse) and also more Minimze time not doing workouts. Hopefully during these next few days I can a) get healthy and b) get reset for track. It worked great in 2014.

I ran in the morning like I normally do and my achilles was kind of tight. Today I upped the heel raises to 20 and did another set in the afternoon.
