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.

AM: 5 miles. Warmish cloudy day. Loved it.

PM: 11 miles. Felt really relaxed and chill the whole way. It started lightly raining. I had no problem with that!

I worked out with Aidan, Mason, and Easton. We did a 8-5-3-2-1 fartlek. Aidan did a great job making sure we didn't get any more rest than we were supposed to. Fine by me. Unfortunately I got a little overzealous. This reminds me of a 1600 cutdown I did freshman year. On the 8 I thought I should be able to do the Helaman loop well under 5 flat pace again to start. I was right. I tried a little too hard though and hit the lap in 5:30 (4:40 pace). On the uphill to close I got a little slower. Then the 5 was about the same, but the 3-2-1 on the track were kind of weak. Ran one K on the 3, Hit 400 in 68 on the 2, and ran 64 for the 400. Couple things to improve: a) I was significantly ahead of my teammates. I need to find a way to still fight even when I'm not running with others. Having said that, my left Achilles was not doing hot. So I need to take care of that. B) When I came through the first lap so fast, I thought "dang this is fast I'm gonna pay for that". I know I went out hard, but I wasn't doing myself any favors mentally by telling myself I was gonna have a bad workout. Weights.

Hmm. My peroneal tendons hurt every once in a while, and, of more concern, my left Achilles felt very tender. I need to be consistent so I might decide to be conservative tomorrow.

Well, that was a blessing just that I was able to do this workout. I feel very grateful that I felt alright. I didn't run super smart though. I really wanted to go out in 5:30 but I forgot what that means apparently. Mile one was 5:12. Hit mile 3 in 15:33. Next two miles I think we're about 5:15 and 5:20 but I don't really know. Then 6 and 7 were 10:51 and I decided to call it early. This was one of the rare occasions I wish I had a GPS watch to keep me more on pace. 7 miles @ 5:17 pace on the river trail.

I'm home! It was fun to run in Medford again. I thought about extending my run or doing strides since I thankfully felt pretty good today, but decided to play it safe. Can't wait to run Roxy tomorrow.

That was interesting. I did about 3.5 Roxy loops at 6:45 pace. I wanted it to be really chill. Thankfully my tendons did alright considering how holly it was, but my hips were killing me. I took an ice bath afterwards. I wonder if it had to do with all the hills I'm not used to. On the plus side, it was super misty and foggy at the start of my run but by the time I got to the loop I had risen above it! Also, people in Medford are friendly in their own way. Pretty much every person who has driven passed me has waved. That's super cool.
