Short-Term Running Goals:

Okay, so for 2013 I am going to have FUN! Not that running isn't always fun, but I had a wonderful breakthrough year last year and I want to play this year :) AND get faster! So, my first goal I'm going to put out there is my yearly mileage goal.
It is 2,186 miles from my driveway to my sister (QP's) driveway! I want to spend this year on a virtual trek cross country running those miles. So, that is how far I will run in 2013...from my house to QPs. It will take all year and yes, this is measured on Hwys so it isn't really exactly how I COULD run it, but good enough. 43 miles/week...totally doable, and a fun goal to track how far I've traveled as I go along. Who knows...maybe I'll even run PAST her house :)

I will do more trail runs, Boston, Pacing duties, another Half IM and some other tris. I'm excited for this next year and look forward to having fun with all of you out on the roads, and trails! Maybe bag a few peaks this year too!!

Long-Term Running Goals:


Big Dreams: 5K in 20:2X; 10K in 39:XX; Half in 1:29:XX; Full in 3:15:XX; complete the Rim2Rim2Rim run and not die; Comrades; Iron(wo)Man.

Run for the rest of my life!

Personal:

4 children: twelve, eight, five and baby Fartlek - 2 1/2. Wonderful supportive husband that lets me drag him and the family all over for race after race!

Finished 13 marathons and LOVE running that distance! I'm definitely hooked to the marathon monster and hope to constantly improve my endurance, speed and stay injury free!

I've also found a love of trail running! I hope to keep improving on this front.

After being injured with a broken foot at the first of 2012 I found a tri group and started training with them and am now loving tris! The half IM was harder than I'd ever imagined...and am ready to do it again. I'll earn my bike butt and someday have enough time to train for a full IM.

Recovery from the marathon is going well! Going from an 8 on the pain scale Sunday in the hip flexor to a 1-ish today is a near miracle in my book. Other than that, I have felt little soreness or tightness from the race, or maybe it is just overshadowing it too much :) Having a baby with Pneumonia (almost 30 hrs on antibiotics and still feverish :( poor guy!) has helped keep me benched these past few days. No gym daycare for me this week and sleepless nights lead to turning off alarm clocks in the morning! I did get out for a walk with Sandra Tuesday morning, it was slow and awkward to walk for 45 minutes, but totally worth it!

I went to the doc today about the hip and found out nothing I didn't already know - hate it when that happens, but at least now I know I'm on the right track. RICE and stretching on the docket now. I was told not to run until I can do it painlessly...hmmm, so if I don't listen to the pain I can run, right? No SF or anything involved, just a strain of the hip flexor (iliopsoas) (you should see me try and cross my left leg over the right - rather humorous!)

So, until the baby is feeling better it is just walking at home while the weather is good and some shred with Jillian. I may try and get up early tomorrow for spin class just to move a little bit! I keep making reservations at the gym in hopes of getting there, but then having to cancel the morning of. I think I should just put it on the back burner until Tuesday. Still hoping I can run the State Capitol Half this Monday....
