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.

Total Distance

Another early morning, but I like that I have my whole day afterward - I do like that. However, I had to reset my alarm clock to 5:00. 4:45 was just too crazy! :)

Spin class - a really good, hard, consistent effort. Usually this teacher is kind of a blah teacher, but he did a great job this morning!

20 min on the elliptical - had to get just that bit extra cardio work in.

Shred L2 at home before kiddos got up. Glad to have it done, now if I can keep the energy level up for the next 10 hours....

As a side note, I'm wanting to try a tri workout tomorrow. 10-12 running outside, 20 mile bike loop (with some decent climbs), 1 hour swim. Anyone game? Even for just a portion? I was thinking about running the unopened corridor out here in Herriman, bike loop up to Kennecott, out to Old Bingham, then back through Daybreak, then swim at the rec center out here. Anyone? anyone? anyone?

Nice work today :) Wish I could join you tomorrow!

From RAD on Fri, Feb 24, 2012 at 11:05:46 from 98.202.23.178

Carina, I wish you could too! You have more important things to grow right now :) However, you'd still kick my trash on a run!

From Calvin on Fri, Feb 24, 2012 at 11:18:13 from 209.23.216.3

that sounds like a long workout tomorrow. what time are you planning to start?

From RAD on Fri, Feb 24, 2012 at 11:31:25 from 98.202.23.178

whenever I can convince someone to go with me :)

From Kam on Fri, Feb 24, 2012 at 11:36:23 from 68.66.163.179

Good luck with your tri workout. There are only a few special people that would even be candidates to join you.

From Chad on Fri, Feb 24, 2012 at 11:42:04 from 204.113.19.55

You are the Energizer Bunny.

From RAD on Fri, Feb 24, 2012 at 12:05:59 from 98.202.23.178

Kam, well it probably is easier than running 18-20 miles honestly. The bike would be about 90 minutes tops so a total of just over 3 hours cardio - then a nice swim to cool down. Plus you get a nice break between and on the bike all the downhill is a fun joy ride. It is probably a lot easier than you'd think.

Chad, I'm not crazy...I'm just bored :)

Sorry, but you made me say it!!

From Chad on Fri, Feb 24, 2012 at 13:02:56 from 204.113.19.55

I should have seen that one coming.

From Tom Slick on Fri, Feb 24, 2012 at 13:25:55 from 69.171.160.208

Ms. RAD, you are an animal! Way to jump in and make the best of your training. I surly hope that this year is the year you get your BQ at either Ogden or St Geo!!!!!! "PPPPPP"....

From catherine on Fri, Feb 24, 2012 at 16:16:15 from 128.187.97.21

Any portion of that would kick my butt. You're awesome.

From Steam8 on Fri, Feb 24, 2012 at 17:03:33 from 166.70.55.77

Where do you get all of your energy and motivation? I would turn my alarm clock off and go back to bed!

From Bec on Fri, Feb 24, 2012 at 20:57:55 from 68.206.133.141

I'm in! WAIT... I live so far away. :( I would totally join you. The bike sounds cold at this time of year. Not in Texas, but in Utah.

From Smooth on Fri, Feb 24, 2012 at 23:04:08 from 174.27.219.252

Way to get the workouts in at the wee hours!

I'm jealous of your Tri tomorrow!

From Nancy on Sat, Feb 25, 2012 at 07:47:02 from 76.23.21.118

I would be glad to ride a bike with you because that is the only part I could keep up with you.

From bye-wing on Sat, Feb 25, 2012 at 08:30:02 from 115.87.38.135

Sounds like fun -I'd love to join you :)

From RAD on Sat, Feb 25, 2012 at 16:36:42 from 98.202.23.178

Slick, I'm working on that BQ! I will, I don't care if it takes until I'm 80!!

Catherine, I don't think so. You're a lot tougher than you give yourself credit for!

Amy, I know what kind of depression I will fall into if I don't get my daily exercise in.

Becca, thankfully, it's been pretty warm here this winter.

Smooth, We'll have to do an 'injury' tri! I swear water walking against a current is THE best x-training. You won't drown either - promise :)

Nancy, you'll have to come with us on the bike next time! Then you can swim what you want and leave!

Bye-wing, you would've loved this one!!!
