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

3.75

I wanted to avoid the daycare today, but I seriously can NOT wake up in the mornings lately.

Spent the first hour watching my little outlaw in the daycare. He was having a great day and had NO problems at all. So, I left in confidence and went to the TM for the second hour to finally get a workout in. HA! I was at 19 min when they called me back and he was sitting in the time out chair. He got some bite juice and had to wait another minute in time out, apologize, then we left...with our heads hung low...

My neighbor has a TM and so I asked her if I could use it for just a bit and she said it would be fine, so I got another 30 minutes in, but man alive...I'm getting tired of this mess.

10 minute sets on the TM @ 6% incline. 5 minutes @ 5.5 mph, 2 min @ 6.0, 1 min @ 6.3 then 2 min walk @ 4.0 - 8 min running and .75 in distance covered each set. Repeated 5X. Total of 40 min running and 10 min walking.

Thank goodness for the weekend. I think I'd better start liking waking up early...at least until the little terror stops biting!

Wow - that's rough. If you wanted to come out to AF I could watch him for you on the days I'm home (as long as he didn't bite Elliott). :) I can't remember - do you go to Gold's?

Catherine, No, I go to the county rec center out here in Herriman. He only bites when people won't give him what he wants. He gets possesive of his stuff or wants to play with a toy and if the kid stick up for themselves and tries to keep it or won't hand it over when he screams he gets frustrated and bites them. He doesn't do it at home, because his siblings give in to what he wants when he starts his screaming...so this is going to take some time. blech! But, thanks for the offer! Maybe we can do some stroller runs together! I have a double jogger and since Elliott weighs next to nothing we could just throw them both in together.

Devine, this too shall pass, keep after it, it is such a chore to get workouts in, soon you'll be back to running in the wind at 8 min miles, without Seager.

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

Sounds like your gonna be getting your hiney out of bed early :) Daycare stress is SO not fun! Enjoy your weekend run!

From RAD on Fri, Feb 03, 2012 at 18:29:02 from 98.202.23.178

Brent, I hope so...oh how I hope so. Today isn't one of my best positive note days. I need reminders like this - thanks!

Toby, yes, yes I am! I just need to go to bed earlier, then it won't be quite so bad!

Shame (but understandable that the other parents do not want their children bitten either).

From catherine on Fri, Feb 03, 2012 at 18:54:00 from 128.187.97.21

We have a jog stroller too - maybe when it gets warmer? :)

Sorry about the little one giving you problems. Sure makes it tough to workout.

I'm glad to see you're running again.

From Steam8 on Sat, Feb 04, 2012 at 09:45:50 from 166.70.55.77

Oh my! Made me laugh hard! What dedication you have.....I would have just given up and called it good!!! Kids really test your dedication! It is soo good to see that you are starting to run again!

From Rachelle on Sat, Feb 04, 2012 at 17:05:33 from 66.7.127.115

Good job at still getting a good workout in. I would have totally given up. Next time you need a babysitter call me!! He can bite me all he wants but I'll bite back. :)

From Bec on Sat, Feb 04, 2012 at 19:09:05 from 68.206.133.141

Oh little Adam, why do you give your sweet mom such a hard time???

I can't believe that you sat and watched him for an hour and then when you left, BAM! He ate a piece of a kid's arm. I like reading all of the suggestions you get, so when I have a case like this, I will remember to ask you how you handled it.

Great workout despite the tragedy. You are slowly, but surely gaining the running back. It will be so exciting when you will be back at it with a bang!

From bye-wing on Sat, Feb 04, 2012 at 19:32:59 from 110.49.251.193

Sounds like you got a workout with your patience. At least you won't get sore muscles from that, maybe just a headache.

By the way, I think it is usually the youngest child that bites. :)

Hang in there!
