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.

Looking forward to miles this month and not a goose egg!! Speaking of...ultrasound went well it's a healthy baby....

Got up at 4:15 to get to the gym in Lehi by 5 for a muscle mix class. Great resistance/strengthening class, and cardio to boot! Spin class at 6. Good teacher, but was having technical difficulties with her ipod and it got rather annoying. Plus I felt she did too much recovery. Either way, it's always a sweat fest at spin.

Took the car to get a full detail (complimentary because they were mean to us!) and then went to the doc's by 9. A full day by 10 AM and I need a nap!!!

Oh, I was referred to this article by "see DANE run" that he wrote. It is a good one check it out at: http://www.blueridgeoutdoors.com/blogs/running-matters/how-far-is-this-marathon/

Congratulations on the good news from the ultrasound. It's always nice to get that reassurance.

You have had a full day already. I hope you get a nap.

I'm glad things are going well with your pregnancy. I bet you'll need a nap today.

You went!!! I wasn't sure if you would get there that early. I am totally planning tomorrow. Get there AT LEAST 10 to for a bike. Guess who the teacher is? Yep, Skinny Danny. I am also curious to see how your Dr. Apt. went...
