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.

Did an easy 6 around the 'hood early this morning, and got Lucy out as well. Felt really good, and when I looked at the AP I was at 8:32 - it surprised me that is was that fast, I felt like it was slower than that because I was just getting a few good ones in.

Then I hit the step class this morning and had another great workout, I LOVE that class.

Got home and worked outside in the yard all afternoon, it was a beautiful day!!! I'm so glad I got the stuff done in the yard that I've wanted to get done for over a month now, but everytime I go out to do it its TOO COLD!! Got some new stuff planted and hopefully put an end to Lucy's digging holes ~ we'll see in a couple weeks :)

Devine Miss M - your an animal, step classes kick butt. I always thought they were like yogurt classes, for sissies. I have repented after getting a great yoga and step class workout.

Stay kOOl, B of BS rOOls out

Yogurt classes, I like that!

It was so windy outside, I do not know how you did yard work. Good for you, your yard is already very nice so now I bet it is AMAZING!

From Kelli on Tue, Apr 14, 2009 at 10:58:25 from 71.219.84.191

Oh, and good job on the pace! Don't you love that when you think you are just jogging and then you were really moving pretty good? You are a speed demon. This weekend will prove it.

Nice pace girl. Good for you to get some yard work done.

I have a question..."Male or female? You tell me?"

From Kelli on Tue, Apr 14, 2009 at 12:26:16 from 71.219.84.191

She spoke to us, she was a SHE.

Brent, our teacher is CRAZY!! She keeps us moving and jumping the whole 60 minutes!!

Kelli- I did yard work in the backyard - mostly maintenance from Lucy destroying the yard all winter (not to mention the poopies!) My poor legs and neck got sunburnt :(

Bec - you make me laugh!! I couldn't figure out what you meant, then it hit me! BWWWAAAAHHHHAAAAAHHHHAAA! You know you'll see a few of them at Boston :)
