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.

Another BBK day. It was an early one today, we started at 5:00 and did a 5K every 30 minutes around the SJordan 5K loop. Got there a little late, because I knew I'd be alone in the back and it would be so dark I needed my reflector and I couldn't find it. Met Kelli, Scott and Becca there a little late too, so we headed off in the opposite direction as the crowd to meet them then turn and run back...did 2.25 (it was my first 2.0 on the garmin...took too long to locate satellites). Painful, but about mile 6 I started feeling okay and was able to push a little. I was happy to see a sub 8 mile. The last loop was easy/recovery, I was pleased to see a descent AP for the run...I had already decided that anything under 9:30 would please me today! Thanks Kelli for being my misery's company - I LOVED it :)

AP: 8:35 splits: 8:47, 8:55, 8:48, 8:44, 8:12, 8:27, 8:03, 7:27, 9:20, 8:49, 8:35, 9:04

Then went to the gym for yoga and another training session. Arms, although weaker, always seem easier than legs - I think its because I'm not running 12 miles on my arms beforehand :) It was a good session and I'm actually feeling better today than I have the past couple, I guess I ran all that lactic acid outta me!

Great run today RAD!!!! Thank you for being there. Running that bit with you and Kelli made the run a easier. Today you two pushed me to just be out there giving some effort. Look at those miles for today, MAMA (me) is proud of you. I did not have an once in the body after two and whatever 5k's. You had lead legs and kept going, DEDICATION!

VERY AWESOME BKing 5K runs. I would have gone back to bed after that. Not you, you went to the gym and worked on the arms. Such an athlete! GOOD JOB!

From Bec on Thu, Sep 03, 2009 at 16:54:33 from 67.177.35.60

Yes Smooth, she is an athlete. She can spike a ball over the net too...Or so I have heard!

Good job RAD, all that resistance training will pay off just be careful not to overdue before a long run.

From RAD on Thu, Sep 03, 2009 at 17:31:24 from 76.27.12.70

Thanks Bec...but it was determination not dedication that got me through this morning. I need another 'high' mileage week before TOU and I've been sleeping too much!

Smooth, soon enough the training will be over...can't wait! :)

Bec, most of the time it goes IN the net...not over :)

MrsFIT - Next week starts my taper to TOU...hoping I can tough it out till then!

I always think I am a tough little mama, and then I read your blog and Kelli's and Smooth's and I feel like a old old woman!! You really pack in a day of exersize, and you have little kids, I am so impressed! Glad you feel good today!!!

Your BBK days really put us all to shame. You and Kelli are the workout queens, I say.
