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.

Ran down to the bike path and then south along it. 6:05 pace overall, probably about 5:47 pace on the path itself based on my splits. From the outset I just couldn't get into a rhythm. Overall it was probably in the top 25 percent of most painful long runs. My quads were so sore from the hills I have been running here in Medford that each step hurt, which makes it hard to get rolling. When it was really uncomfortable was near the end which is hard anyway to gain a couple hundred feet of elevation after running 17+ miles. I tried to take a GU while running and got it open but gave up on taking it while going sub-6 minute pace. Good news is my grey shorts worked well to contain it on the way out. It was so misty that my eyebrowns got water on them rather than ice like they do in MN.
