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. |

| | 7:07 pace coming back from east river flats. It was pretty hot outside but must have been less humid cuz I didn't get terribly sweaty which was nice.

| | Felt a lot better today doing my construction-modified farmers fields loop on the last hot morning of the year I believe (>75 degrees at the start). Clouds were nice. 6:58 pace. This loop is exactly 9.50 miles if you go to the end of rosedale.

| | 6:57 pace on the way back from west river. Today was sooo nice. Fall came overnight. Overcast, cool, and clean air. Great day to run winchell trail.

| | Apparently 5:13 pace on my 4.75 mile tempo from the CVD research building past the stone arch bridge. It has been too long since I did anything faster than race pace. Glad I got this in, even if it wasn't as fast as I would have hoped for the effort, and I was super bummed to see the CVD bldg is not card access only. Grateful to be healthy though. I took a GU to practice doing so while going fast. That was quite uneventful. I have to say that those things are a lot less enjoyable when you don't "need" them.

| | 5:58 pace on gateway trail. It was the furthest I've ever been on Brown's Creek trail. I love that area. It's interesting how you can see something on a map but it turns out looking a lot different than you thought. I didn't bring GU on purpose which was probably a good idea. I felt the wheels come off a bit the last few miles or so, and just let it happen. I just worked out two days ago and did a mega LR last week so I was just trying to enjoy the run. It was so nice today, just like 70 degrees a partly cloudy. The air smelled so good I almost died and went to heaven. Splits: 6:39, 5:47, 5:54, 5:49, 7:37 (getting on to Brown's creek), 5:39, 5:43, 5:39, turn around stuff, 5:51, 5:56, 5:46, 7:51 (getting back), 6:00, 6:15, 5:40, 6:23. 3:16 and 2:45 for the start and end. It's kind of a steady uphill most of the way back, from 820 to 1050 feet.
