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. |

| | Wow, 500 miles on my Nikes and it's time to shoe shop already. What a great blessing that I'm hitting so many miles. Today I ran 12 with Aidan nice and slow on the river trail. He talked to me about running long runs slower. I might do so for multiple reasons. I'll research it first. 3 strides. Beautiful day.

| | Idk what just happened, and not in the best way. We did 5 by 1000 on the track with 4-5 min rest. I was supposed to go out in 32 on the 200 and then run a 42, 32,42,32. Definitely not ready to run fast 200s but my coach said he wanted me to do this workout so I did. I'll definitely need to start running fast at some point if I want to run 8:30 in December. The key will be to do it in a smart way so that I can peak at a good time (idk when that will even be, since I don't know if I'll be on the team or not). I ran 3:02, 2:59, 2:58, 3:01, and 3:08. I started feeling kind of cruddy on the fourth one but the fifth one Mason lead and he didn't know how fast to do the slower parts, so that's why that was so slow. Usually I'd go out in 29-30 and then hang on.

| | Ok, this has been a good learning experience. I should have known better than to run 30 second 200s on Tuesday. Today I planned to do a 4-2 fartlek, but after two of the two minute segments, it was feeling too shaky at that pace. I felt alright running slower. But I need to recover tomorrow and hope to be better by Saturday. Next week I'll be smarter.
This morning I ran 5 miles. Felt a bit tight which would make sense given my run this afternoon, but not bad despite supposedly being like 23 degrees outside.

| | Ran Bonneville shoreline again since the weather is still good. I didn't even think about doing strides because my Achilles was still funky, a little higher up. Tomorrow I have a 17 miler planned but I need to be smart. If I can make it to the weekend I think I'll be alright. It's been a rocky return to form, so I want to get my mojo back. I felt a little more fit today, despite the tendon. That's good.

| | Wow. It was a good day to run. At first I was worried about my achilles but by halfway in it felt better. I was trying to back it off and run 6:15-6:30 pace. There were very few times where I felt challenged at all. It was super chill. Now I am excited that I have all this time to recover but I felt very relaxed during my run. That's why I was surprised to have gone 5:59 pace. By far the most chill sub 6 paced long run ever. That's cool!
