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

Spin class - nice sweaty effort this morning. I honestly think it's a little nasty when I keep feeling sweat from my head drip on my legs! She had us do consistent effort today. 1st half was focused on cadence on a flat road, 2nd half was more hills, but keeping cadence as the road came up. Felt like a good MP+ effort the whole time, nice burning quads.

Hit the ARC trainer afterward for 30 min to round out the 90 min of cardio. L50 for 1.2 miles, which is a good effort for me. The last 20 min I did 40 second sprints on the even numbers (12:40, 8:40 etc) - felt good and strong!

As I was leaving I ran into Paul, Riverton Paul that is. Had a great chat with him and he is looking great for all the crud he's had to go through recently. It's always nice to see people I know at the gym again. Makes me like it just a bit more :)

Back home to pick up kiddos and then I'm back to the gym for some yoga time!

Get yourself better soon. It was good seeing you.

Did you tell Paul hi for me? I've tried posting some videos on my blog, but it's not the same as when he does.

From RAD on Thu, Apr 21, 2011 at 17:17:31 from 98.202.17.113

Paul, you too!

Burt, actually, your name did come up now that I think about it...

I'm glad you got a good workout. I hope your injury is better soon.

From Carina on Thu, Apr 21, 2011 at 23:59:00 from 204.15.86.83

Nice cross training! Hope things are getting better for you!

From Rob on Fri, Apr 22, 2011 at 11:20:33 from 204.15.86.95

I didn't know you went to lifetime, now that I look at your picture I think I do recognize you.

From RAD on Fri, Apr 22, 2011 at 16:03:50 from 98.202.17.113

Nancy, me too!

Carina, hopefully this will be short lived.

Rob, uh-oh...I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. When are you there?

From Rob on Fri, Apr 22, 2011 at 18:58:30 from 204.15.86.95

A good thing or a bad thing that I too go to Lifetime gym?

I'm there pretty much everyday I'm in Utah from 5:00 - 6:30am.

From RAD on Fri, Apr 22, 2011 at 19:16:33 from 98.202.17.113

a good thing or a bad thing that you recognize me from the gym - not sure it's a good thing to have people recognize me from the gym. Especially when I'm there that early in the morning! I usually like to hit the spin classes early in the morning, help gets me motivated to move, especially when I can only x-train.

Do you go on Saturdays? I will be there early tomorrow!

From Rob on Fri, Apr 22, 2011 at 19:18:26 from 204.15.86.95

Yep, front row treadmills 3rd from the right.

From RAD on Fri, Apr 22, 2011 at 19:38:50 from 98.202.17.113

I am planning on being there tomorrow 5-8, I'll be starting on the ARC trainers...just behind you. I usually use the one closest to the wall, I like to dream about running with the people on the TMs in front of me :)

From Rob on Fri, Apr 22, 2011 at 20:03:27 from 204.15.86.95

And I'm the one running with the fastest gimp you've ever seen.

From RAD on Fri, Apr 22, 2011 at 20:24:33 from 98.202.17.113

All right, I'll keep an eye out for you. If your gimp gives you too much trouble you can join me in some 'back row pseudo running' :)
