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.

Due to casting appointment early this morning life was hectic and we were all running late, but the good news is that Lauren is happy with her purple cast and is now taking signatures :)

Spin class (10 min late), good hard effort, because I had too and Allison is a slave driver!

Mom and me swim class. They had us walk backward in the lazy river. I think if I am ever injured again I am going to do that for my x-training, holy moly is that hard!!!

Glad your got to spin and swim class on a hectic day. Hope Lauren's arm heals up fast! :)

That lazy river *workout* sounds great! :) Were you carrying Baby Fartlek while walking backward? Wow!!! you're a tough cookie-mommy! :)

Smooth, yes. for the first 30 min you do aerobics with baby in arms and so this was the last of it. I was first in line so it was crazy hard!!! The second time around wasn't so bad. Maybe we should do this together sometime if you get permission!! The lazy river walk...not the mommy and me. You are shorter than I am, but I don't think I'd be comfortable holding you on my hip and throwing you up into the air :)

Funny how *life* takes over sometimes! Regardless, you still got an awesome workout!

From Nancy on Tue, Feb 21, 2012 at 20:45:51 from 76.23.21.118

Great workout. How did your daughter break her arm?

From Bec on Wed, Feb 22, 2012 at 07:04:58 from 68.206.133.141

What happened to Lauren's arm??? She ok?

That lazy river thing is a great idea for injury! We should have been doing that when we were injured together.

Toby, I'm getting really tired of life taking over lately!!

Nancy, she fell at school on Friday, just got her feet tangled with a friend and fell. She was in a splint all weekend.

Becca, yeah, she is doing lots better. I think she really likes being in a cast :) well, the attention anyway. She only needs to be in one for 3 weeks - so unfair she is young and heals quickly! I know! That lazy river walking is hard core!
