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. |

| | Rain... there was nice things about today too though. At least I was able to do my workout. I planned and re planned this workout like six times because of family plans changing. It wasn't as fast as I had hoped for, but I really think that running in the morning is tough for me. You don't even start your workout until you've run 8 miles (and gone ice skating, in today's case). I ran 5 miles in the AM, and then went to the NM track for 4 by 2K with 2:30, 3:30, and 2:30 rest. It was supposed to be tempo pace on 1 and 3 and 10K pace on 2 and 4. I ran 6:11, 6:09, 6:17, and 6:12. Felt a little junky besides being tired.

| | Hmm. I'm not sure if it's because I'm just out of my schedule or that I'm not used to running so many hills but I've felt tired and sore since I came home. On the bright side, my Achilles' tendons have been fine. Merry Christmas!

| | AM- 10 miles on the bike path. It was kind of bleak- misty, there were some burnt out woods, and lots of homeless camps :( I felt fine, still a little rusty. Then I did weights at the nice club my family belongs to.
PM- 5 miles up Aerial heights. I think I'm getting used to the Hills!

| | We decided to go to the temple as a family last minute so I did my workoutas the sun was setting at the North track. This was actually an improvised workout. I have another one on Saturday but I want to get fast. I'll have to talk to my coach about a plan to get me on the team as quick as possible. I did 8 by 400 with 90 seconds rest and 2 minutes before the last two. Miraculously I didn't throw up the Indian food I had eaten. (66, 63, 63, 63, 64, 64, 63, 61). I would always go out in 30 point and then slow down. Hopefully soon I can maintain that and average 60s on this which is what I need to run a fast mile.

| | I don't like to cut into my mileage, but I'm going to have to do it. I felt great on my 11 mile run on the bike path this morning except my platar fascia which have not been doing well. I'm going to try to be very careful in protecting it. Weights afterward. I was rushed and hurt my back a bit doing some of the new ones. I'll need to research how to do them correctly.

| | Good run on Roxy. I averaged 6:33s. I assume most of the pace increase had to do with doing one loop, or about 2.6 miles, hard. I'm guessing normally I would do that at 6:30 pace and for my third lap I was at 5:30 pace. It was kind of hard to switch gears. It just didn't feel like I had worked out super hard afterward. Hmm. I got home and felt great, almost like I could run again today (which I won't). Plantar fascia felt better today, which is great.
