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.

11 windy miles including three pretty fast strides out by the airport. Didn't feel amazing but it was better than last Monday.

Well, I didn't break any records but if I'm patient I'm sure it'll keep coming. My watch actually got so many laps that it stopped recording them. But I was able to accurately record the following: 75, 75, 74, 75, 75, 75, 76, 76, 75, 75, 75, 76, 75, 76, 75, 68. Those were 400s punctuated by running from the finish line to the 400m start of lane 8. For the first half of the workout it was a brief jog and then I started again: 12-14 seconds. By the end of the workout, it creeped to 15 and eventually 20 seconds as I went really slowly.

AM: 5 miles. Felt fine. 

PM: Office park loop. I ran a fartlek of 5 minutes off, 2 minutes on. Since my warmup was nearly 4 miles, I actually only got in 10 minutes of hard running. The idea was to get my body accustomed to running at faster paces, since I think I have good aerobic capacity but don't have speed yet, and also to remind my body what it's like to run two workouts plus a long run every week. In a way it was hard, in other ways, it felt super easy. Hopefully my achilles and body in general can recover quickly and get faster.

Oops. I ran bonneville shoreline today. I miscalculated and ran farther than I wanted to. On the bright side, it was a gorgeous day and a nice run. It probably won't be very runnable here very soon, but when Spring hits, I'd like to run that more because it's nice to shake it up (went by really fast) and it's a good aerobic workout on those hills while your legs are barely moving! My Achilles felt a bit loose, but overall it was ok and I think I'll be good for tomorrow.

Good end to the week. I did a "Tour de Provo"- ran out to the lake on the river trail, then around Lakeview parkway to the freeway entrance, then past the golf course and passing the state hospital back up the hill to home. I spent an inordinant amount of time planning this to be exactly 16 miles, and then I had to stop at a certain point to make sure I hadn't missed a turn, but it was worth it. Not that cold, which was a blessing. Idk where I have in my head this idea of me being able to run super fast long runs without getting tired at the beginning, but this was the fourth week out of five that I started pretty fast and by mile 5 I was feeling "uh oh".But thankfully, like last week, I felt a bit of a second wind at some point and was able to keep on plugging. Overall I was a little under 5:45 pace, which is my fastest recorded pace ever on a run of 15+ miles. Just like last year, the aerobic stuff has come first, now it's time to get some speed. I've never run a really good 3K before, nor have I ever run a fast race on the indoor track, but I am optimistic and would like to shoot to run 8:30 in December at the indoor meet.
