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.

I was tired. 7:18 pace on west river road. I went all the way to the end of the path so I could enjoy one more run there with the leaves. I'm looking forward to fully recovering, when I can not feel tired. Recently I've looked back at previous seasons. It seems like I had incredible energy to put in tons of mileage and hammer out lots of workouts and races. I just feel like I have nowhere near that bandwidth these days. I wonder what the difference is- is it the lack of training partners? That might account for some of it, but not all. I probably average 1 hour less of sleep each night than I used to- is that it? Idk. Just interesting and kind of sad. I wouldn't trade my life now for what I had then, as things like family provide so much more sustained joy than running, which is a roller coaster of highs and lows and comes with a guarentee that you will eventually get slower until you are irrelevant. But I wouldn't mind being able to have both.

On an otherwise nice rainy morning on east river road, my legs were so dead it was hard to enjoy it much. Kind of frustrating. 6:55 pace.

Wow, the cold weather took me by surprise. It was 28 degrees and cloudy out this morning and just a lot colder than what I've gotten used to. For some reason it took me a long while to warm up my body. Probably also still dealing with fatigue so I wasn't feeling great, but it was a nice quiet morning to run on Como around Como park and then to Wheelock and McCarrons lake. 6:05 pace.
