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 sleep in morning! 

20 min on the elliptical to warm up @ L12 =2.0 miles

10K on the TM at a nice easy pace. first 4.8 miles (12 songs on the ipod) @ 8:57, then increased to 8:34 until 5.2 then increased the speed as soon as I would get comfortable with it, about every .15 or so. Finished off @ 7:30 for .1 then 7:00 for .15 as a nice kick to finish it off.

8:49 AP for the run.

Anyone hitting the oval tomorrow AM?

Happy to see you got to sleep in. I hope I get to tomorow.

From allie on Fri, Jan 07, 2011 at 18:21:14 from 174.23.238.75

i am definitely thinking about the oval if the air is still nasty. it was really bad today.

great quote.

From Burt on Fri, Jan 07, 2011 at 18:30:45 from 206.19.214.144

I am not thinking about doing the oval.

Not so great quote.

From allie on Fri, Jan 07, 2011 at 18:32:34 from 174.23.238.75

e-punch.

From RAD on Fri, Jan 07, 2011 at 18:35:29 from 67.172.229.125

Scott, it's funny, but sleeping in isn't all that nice for me...just tacks on a few extra 'wake-up, feed baby and go back to sleeps' to the morning. I wish it felt like sleeping in used to!

Allie, shall we make a plan to meet at the oval tomorrow? Then you can run circles around me and then run a few cool-down miles as I finish up my 5 to your 20! :)

Burt, I didn't think you'd like that quote...that is why I put it up. Oh, and they don't allow creepers at the oval so I'm glad you're not planning on it.

From RAD on Fri, Jan 07, 2011 at 18:36:52 from 67.172.229.125

HA! take that Burt, a nice e-punch to the gut!

*thanks for the back-up Allie!*

From allie on Fri, Jan 07, 2011 at 18:46:14 from 174.23.238.75

yes, let's do it. what time?

From Burt on Fri, Jan 07, 2011 at 18:49:55 from 206.19.214.144

Two against one, eh? Here's an e-kick to the ovarian cyst!

From RAD on Sat, Jan 08, 2011 at 01:35:47 from 67.172.229.125

Allie - crappy doodle do! This is what I get for shutting down the computer and attempting to be productive! I was thinking around 9ish, enough to sleep in, but so that I'm done before too late. I will PM you my phone number and you can call me when you are on your way.

Burt - what do I look like? Mother Nature? I don't have an ovarian cyst :)

From Teena Marie on Sat, Jan 08, 2011 at 01:46:46 from 67.2.90.52

Rachel~

Just a quick note: Matt and I will be at the Oval at 6:00 a.m. in the morning! (Just in case you are interested.) :)

From DonGardinero on Sat, Jan 08, 2011 at 01:48:16 from 152.216.7.5

Oh yeah?!! I'll be there at 5 am.

From RAD on Sat, Jan 08, 2011 at 01:48:50 from 67.172.229.125

6AM?!? Are you crazy? It's Saturday :) I might catch you at the end of your run, but I think I'll try and sleep in - unless I'm up anyway, then I might be there.

From Teena Marie on Sat, Jan 08, 2011 at 02:00:21 from 67.2.90.52

Dale, they don't open until 5:30 ... Rachel, come on, you know you want to get up! :)

From RAD on Sat, Jan 08, 2011 at 02:06:25 from 67.172.229.125

hmmm...seeing as it's already midnight and I'm still sitting here at the computer maybe not :) If I could get 6 hours of straight sleep I'd feel like a new woman! But I'm sure I'll be up at LEAST twice before then.

Dale, I'll see your 5AM and raise you one hour! :)

From DonGardinero on Sat, Jan 08, 2011 at 02:17:44 from 152.216.7.5

Let's see, I get off work tonight at 2 am. I could go home, sleep for two hours, get up and drive an hour to Kearns. Yeah, I don't see it happening. LOL.

From DonGardinero on Sat, Jan 08, 2011 at 02:18:41 from 152.216.7.5

It would be fun to be there at the same time as everyone else, but I doubt that will ever happen.

From RAD on Sat, Jan 08, 2011 at 02:24:27 from 67.172.229.125

How about you just DON'T sleep, go straight to the oval and we'll meet you at the end of your run? :) You can't get inside, but hey...why not run laps OUTSIDE the oval. It would cut down on the number of laps you need to do!

From DonGardinero on Sat, Jan 08, 2011 at 02:28:22 from 152.216.7.5

That sounds like a plan. I could set up an aid station in the parking lot with hot chocolate and breakfast burritos fron Del Taco.

From allie on Sat, Jan 08, 2011 at 02:33:35 from 174.23.238.75

why are we all awake? see you in the morning.

From DonGardinero on Sat, Jan 08, 2011 at 02:41:26 from 173.126.136.73

I would love to be asleep right now
