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.

Had a nice run along JRP with my sister in law. Good pace, good company and good weather...ahhh, the joys of running!! AP 8:40 and the splits were VERY consistant around there as well. It was still difficult, but better than Thursday.

Spent the next 5 hours planting what I bought at Engh Gardens this morning. The sad part is I'm only 1/2 way done! However, the front looks beautiful and I can't wait to finish the back!

It sounds like you did the same thing I did today. After our Tri class I planted flowers also. I really like your picture with your kids. I'm not sure if you look prouder about finishing the marathon or having 3 cute kids.

Hi Rachel... so glad you found me!

It was great meeting you too on the JRP on Saturday... I really enjoyed chatting with you. We were down in Salt Lake City for my sister's wedding so I don't get to run on the parkway very often but let's definitely keep in touch. Whenever I'm in SLC I always try to find time to run there since I don't have anything like it at home. I'd love to have an out-of-town running buddy (although by the looks of it, I'd be hard pressed to keep up with you)! In the meantime, I'll keep up with you on your blog and you're welcome to do the same. Good luck getting your ITB to behave... our next "adventure" is soon upon us!
