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.

Couple nights of decent sleep and I'm feeling decent again. 

Boot camp for an hour and then since I've been a week with no hip pain I did a 30 min walk at 2.5 mph at a 10% grade. Good workout, but still looking forward to running! Finished 1.25 miles, I'm getting SO close I can wait to see if this bothers the hip at all this week so I can run next week!!!

Oh look at you with your 9.5 hours of sleep. I'm a pirate green with envy.

I'm glad your hip didn't bother you. Next week will be here before you know it!

From The Quiet Pirate on Wed, Feb 03, 2010 at 17:58:31 from 65.191.134.20

And oh yeah, your cousin at the U wanted me to tell you that he's glad you got a decent night's sleep...your descent into dream land must have been wonderful. ;-)

From Nancy on Wed, Feb 03, 2010 at 21:38:22 from 76.27.19.206

I'm glad you got a lot of sleep and that your hip is feeling better.

QP - I don't think I'll be getting much sleep tonight! Wishing I could take tylenol with codine!! Oh, and you can tell that cousin I can't wait to visit Boise now :)

Nancy, thanks! I'm hoping to be back to group in a few weeks.

From Carolyn in Colorado on Wed, Feb 03, 2010 at 23:58:50 from 24.8.167.243

Here's hoping your able to run next week!

From RAD on Thu, Feb 04, 2010 at 00:03:00 from 67.172.229.125

Carolyn, I'm hoping I can too. Right now my excision is killing me and I don't think I'll be able to bend over or sit stretching the back of my upper thigh for a month!! They took about twice what I expected out, 3 in long, 1 in tall (ellipse shape), and about 1.5 inches deep. It was a HUGE chunk!!

From Smooth on Thu, Feb 04, 2010 at 00:06:30 from 174.23.232.65

Rachel, So HAPPY you're able to get some sleep. What did they take out? That sounds painful!

From RAD on Thu, Feb 04, 2010 at 00:09:39 from 67.172.229.125

It was a re-excision of a mole that came back from the lab looking not so good, not bad enough to be called melanoma, but bad enough (pre-cancer) to take a HUGE border re-excision to be cautious.

From Smooth on Thu, Feb 04, 2010 at 00:12:49 from 174.23.232.65

OUCH! Can you have topical anesthetic? How in the world can you sleep w/ pain?

From RAD on Thu, Feb 04, 2010 at 00:20:27 from 67.172.229.125

I think there is one in the pressure dressing they put on, but since I'm preggo all they gave me was an ice pack to use 15 min/hour I was awake. I go tomorrow to have the dressing changed, if it gets too bad I may ask for more tomorrow. Between the head cold, prego belly (no back sleeping :( ) and now this...I'm doomed with sleep for a while!

From Smooth on Thu, Feb 04, 2010 at 00:23:17 from 174.23.232.65

Poor Rachel! :( Hey, consider it preparation for those around the clock feeding!

From RAD on Thu, Feb 04, 2010 at 00:27:28 from 67.172.229.125

lol...especially the first couple weeks of late night feedings filled with love and pain :) hehehe

From RAD on Thu, Feb 04, 2010 at 01:04:32 from 67.172.229.125

QP- as I'm laying in bed I'm a little bewildered by my cousin, then it finally dawns on me! Sorry I've carried on such a raw tradition so publicly - especially without recognizing it for so long!! Now I'm laughing though.
