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.

Finally got to early spin class, right across the street from where BBK's were meeting - almost ditched class just to go visit for a bit! :)

60 minute spin - not a great class, but it was good. ITB started getting mad about 5 minutes in - I wasn't happy with it and just kept fighting back.

Went home slept with stinky blanket for an extra hour, hit the sculpt class at the gym then packed up the kids and ran off to my SIL house.

Cleaned and kept moving for another nearly 3 hours. She's been having a stressful couple weeks, so the only thing I figured I could do to help was her with household stuff. As to be expected she was a little embarrassed, but she teaches a pre-school out of her home and was out on a field trip, so by the time she knew what was going on I was 1/2 way done :) Felt really good to help out when it wasn't expected or even asked of me or necessarily wanted (who wants someone coming into their messy house to clean?? I'd have to 'clean' it first!). Rewarded myself (and 3 VERY helpful children) with an Ab's fat boy and hand-cut fresh fries on the way home -mmmmm, I'm feelin' good!! :)

What a wonderful service you did!

From Bec on Wed, Jan 27, 2010 at 00:20:17 from 76.23.55.210

What a great day you had. I hope that IT does not act on Saturday like it did today. Way to get to the spin class.

HOLD UP! You had a fat boy and fries for lunch without inviting me?

ten demerits from those Devine points.

From RAD on Wed, Jan 27, 2010 at 14:10:41 from 67.172.229.125

Sorry QP - next time I'll eat an extra one in your honor! :)

From Brent on Wed, Jan 27, 2010 at 14:16:01 from 168.178.30.194

French FRi sistas - enough is enough - fat boys and french fries - how many hours of working out does this mean? 1 hour per french fri? We must make some sense of this diet - or join the clydesdale division, try out for the biggest loser. We may need to do an intervention and send you both to Dr. Drew.

Oh Brent...we both were raised by a wonderful father that taught us how to eat well and appreciate it!! We should've been sent to Biggest loser at age 10, or had an intervention at 12 :) Why do you think we have to run so much??

From The Quiet Pirate on Fri, Jan 29, 2010 at 22:44:12 from 65.191.134.20

Brent & Rad-

your comments gave me a good laugh...you're both so right on the mark.

It's too late for interventions now. So what's for our Saturday lunch date this week? 5 guys?
