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... Altogether not a good workout. I don't know if my easy week just destroyed my ability to run fast or what, but hopefully I can get it back fast. We did a mile breakdown, and it was on the indoor track. Not a good first experience with running on an indoor track. Tons of jostling, super hot, bad air quality, and we had to follow weird lines and not just run on the inside. Anyway I ran 4:44 for the mile, then pulled out after about 500 of the 1200 and did the same with the 800. First time this season (if this season includes XC) I haven't finished a workout. Actually, XC is over, so now that I think about it, I'm pretty impressed that I finished EVERY SINGLE WORKOUT from June to November. The only reason I consider this still the same season is that I'm hoping to harness the fitness I gained to boost me now so I won't be starting from scratch and my hard work last season won't have been for nothing. On the 400, (first 400 since track season) I ran 59 which I guess I'm ok with since I didn't even think today was going to be a workout and I haven't got like jack crap of sleep in a couple weeks. I'm hoping to get in good shape in the next couple weeks, but mainly I'm hoping to get some great track workouts in over winter break at my home track. Can't wait for that!

Uh, long story but today was my longest mileage day ever. 10 miles and core in the afternoon, and for reasons I will not explain here, I ended up running 3.5 miles both ways to Cinemark 16 at night.

I was supposed to tempo today but I ran out of time before going to my grandparents house and I feel like I need track speed quickly for the time trial, so I did my own workout, 2 800s and 2 400s with 3 minutes recovery. I ran 2:17, 2:14, 63, and 58. Not great compared to where I was at in XC a few weeks ago, but decent when you consider this is the second track workout of the year. Hopefully I'll get into it.

6 miles in the morning, then 4 at night since I didn't have time to do it all at once. My run at night felt great!!!!!! Strides were awesome too. I felt like I was flying even on the uphill one. Core

Holy crap today was probably my worst run since a long run I went on this summer that just blew nards. Ok, here's my plan of attack to get back on track (even though I know that sometimes everyone has bad days, there's definitely more I could've done): 1. Get more sleep. I slept in this morning, but the last couple of hours I was awake on bed anyway. 2. Eat better. This week the cannon center has been closed so I've had to improvise. Next week I'll be back on track. 3. Hydrate. I can tell I haven't been doing a great job, won't go into that. 4. Run with others. That always helps. This one wasn't my fault really since it was thanksgiving week so there wasn't practice, but it always helps to have other people there running with you. I couldn't train the way I do on my own. Next week I'll be able to do that again.
