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.

Nice early morning with the BBK's - the wind made it a bit chilly, but beyond that it was beautiful; early, but the blooming plants and trees make it worth it!

The group did speed work, and I tried - but I think my speed work sits around a 9:30 now-a-days :)

AP: 9:34 splits: 9:26 9:24, 9:31, 9:38, 9:50, 9:47, 8:34 (for the last .2)

As you can see, I really didn't ever feel my 'groove' hit today that I normally do after mile 4. I was really surprised to see how slow the last mile was, because I really felt like I was picking it up a bit - hmmm, I think it's lead legs from the 'race' on Saturday. Nice to see the 8:34 even if it was for only just under a 1/4 mile!

Getting kiddos off to school and then I'll go do the body sculpting class and a 30 min bike ride nice and easy to maybe spin some of the 'lead' out of me!!

*class was crazy tough today! Then I did 7.5 miles @ L3 on the recumbent bike*

8:34 for .20 - is this the pace you run in class when you beat all the slow people? maybe i could hang! maybe.

way to get up and out of bed this morning. your sister seemed to be dragging a bit more. oh wait, i was still sleeping while both of y'all were out... who am i to talk?

Glad you got out to run with your BBK's. You're doing great for lead legs and baby bumps.

Have fun at the gym with sculpting & biking.

Good job on the early morning. It was a great start to another great day of working out.

From RAD on Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 14:40:44 from 67.172.229.125

KP- I think it's more like 9:40 in class :) It's in our genes - we were taught to eat and sleep well. We love running, but sometimes we have to do what comes naturally.

QP- Now it's more like 'chasing' the BBK's, not so much running with BBK's :)

Carolyn - thanks! I think I need a nap (or a Mtn Dew) now.

sounds like a new mixed drink: The BBK Chaser

From KP on Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 15:08:08 from 65.208.22.25

yum

From The Quiet Pirate on Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 15:24:49 from 24.199.205.252

the question is...what's in it? I'm going to definitly include some Goldschlager, because RAD has a little treasure inside, and because I'm the Pirate. But what else would we put in there? Prune juice? To help you "run" faster??

From KP on Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 15:27:49 from 65.208.22.25

prune juice? i retract my previous "yum" statement.

From The Quiet Pirate on Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 15:29:54 from 24.199.205.252

no, that was more of a joke about pregnant women & constipation more than anything....the prune juice can go

It's good that you're right back at it even if your legs haven't quite recovered from Saturday.

Forgive my ignorance, but what's a BBK?

From RAD on Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 18:24:10 from 67.172.229.125

KP & QP - you two crack me up!

Maynard - thanks, I didn't think it was all that bad, but I'm pretty sure I've got some fatigue left in them. BBK's are the running group I run with, stands for Bingham Butt Kickers. We run in S Jordan, Riverton area. It's nice to have workouts and routes pre-planned for you, they are an amazing group of runners!!!

From Nancy on Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 18:39:55 from 76.27.19.206

I think those are pretty speedy times for a girl 7 months pregnant. I missed coming but I was still tending my granddaughter.

From RAD on Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 18:44:53 from 67.172.229.125

Nancy, I hope to see you Thursday! Oh, and thanks :)

From DonGardinero on Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 23:53:25 from 75.162.164.84

I can see why you would have dead legs. Nice job on the run.

From Michelle on Wed, Apr 21, 2010 at 09:52:16 from 97.122.175.87

My legs always get tired just reading about what you do everyday. Great job keeping up with all of it!

From Tom Slick on Wed, Apr 21, 2010 at 10:42:59 from 168.179.157.104

7 months preggo and your still clobbering 9 minute miles......Wonder Woman!

From RAD on Wed, Apr 21, 2010 at 15:30:52 from 67.172.229.125

Dale, yeah, I didn't think it would be so bad! It's crazy.

Michelle, thanks :) you are doing a great job as well!

Tom, yesterday I thought "wow, it's crazy to see 9:30's as your 'tempo' pace!" Life certainly has changed, but I'm grateful to just be running at all.
