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.

Total Distance

12.00

I needed a good run with good friends this morning. Stayed up late hoping hubby would get home from work, but at 1:00 I finally called it quits. 5:45 came WAY too early. I'd had a rough night dealing with drama from some neighbors (directed at me) so it was nice to get out and have a good run!

Classic 12 mile loop out and back on the PRT, wonderful pace, wonderful company and not a thing in the world to complain about (except the night before, but I'm getting over it and trying to be an adult about it all). It was kind of nice to have a 'back off' week. I feel like I need to go run some more... I'm not completely exhausted!

AP: 9:00 splits: 9:18, 9:28, 9:13, 9:03, 9:05, 9:15, 8:39, 8:39, 8:48, 9:01, 9:00, 8:36

The real question is...can you guess who is who in my new picture? Bye-wing, Quiet Pirate and I are in our front yard with our mom and dad.

What a fun picture!! And a great run this morning! I've never met your sisters, but I'm guessing you are the one in the back?

Cat on the far right, QP on the grass and you on daddy's shoulder, lovely picture, happy - now look at that picture everytime you deal with the crummy folks next door, do you really care what they think. Nice tension releasing run.

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

I wish I knew your ages....I know who is the oldest!

Glad you got in a good run! Sorry about the drama, neighborhood drama is never fun!

Missed your company this morning, though. ;o) That Butterfield section is so much harder than I remembered. Now I know why I never run there, I just use the traffic as an excuse.

fun photo, obviously your the cute one!

Hey get some rest for the PCM, your gunna need it!

From Smooth on Sun, Aug 14, 2011 at 20:51:45 from 67.2.107.143

That was a fun run, THANKS!

I can't believe how blonde your hair was while your parents both had such dark dark hair! :) CUTE picture of happy times! :)

From Terri on Sun, Aug 14, 2011 at 21:30:15 from 108.28.82.27

I agree with Brent on the guesses. What an adorable picture!

From RAD on Mon, Aug 15, 2011 at 12:52:45 from 70.103.189.14

Carina, thanks. It was a fun run!

Brent, you are right! If you know the birth order it's easy to know who is who. I am the one on top of my daddy's shoulders. You're right about who cares - I'm over it now, dumb people.

Kelli, I was just in auto mode and with no sleep knew that I'd be dragging so I skipped the fast run :) Sounds like you guys had a good time though. Yeah, that Butterfield section is nasty! Traffic is a good excuse :)

Slick, you are SO right! I'm always the cute one :) PCM is just an easy fun run for me, so I won't be tapering much.

Smooth, it's the Dutch in our genes, lots of people would comment about that when we were all little.

Terri, you've also got the inside track on the birth order :) Such a happy family :) hehehe
