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.

Step class at the gym (it was a killer today!) then ITB stuff, Ab's class and stretching.

Meant to run this morning, but its just too easy to turn the alarm off when no one is waiting for you to run....

Tapering for WBR also this week, I need to keep my legs fresh for the death march: leg 33!!!!

I was going to give you a hard time about turning off the alarm because no one was waiting for you to run, but since you've got a race coming up and are tapering, you're off the hook. Plus you did classes at the gym.

I had to throw that in there just for that reason! See I can rationalize anything :)

Dang I love that picture of you! Enjoy your taper!

Rachel, I hope your team will be close to mine... then we can do the death march together :)

From Leandra on Tue, Jun 16, 2009 at 12:56:58 from 70.56.110.99

Oh have so much fun at WBR! I have to do it next year! It sounds like so much fun. Well, fun in a wierd run a ton with now sleep sort of way :)

Walter and I were watching you run around the track and commented that you look so graceful and have such a great stride. You look like you were born to run. If you keep up the way you are, you are going to really start kicking some butt.

From Smooth on Tue, Jun 16, 2009 at 16:34:45 from 71.36.79.7

You deserve the sleep in!

From RAD on Tue, Jun 16, 2009 at 16:59:40 from 67.166.99.8

Leslie, Thanks! That is the look of pure joy...I love it too :)

Bec, I've been told that step really isn't a good taper, but it beat getting up to run this morning!

Allie, Thanks. I'm gonna need some luck!

Lori, I will be looking for you!! I'll try to remember to PM you my cell# and we can see if we can hook up sometime before then!

Leandra, This will be my first WBR - I'm more worried about not getting to eat much! :)

Michelle, I think that is the nicest thing anyone has ever said! Especially coming from you and Walter!! I feel like I'm working hard and its nice to have someone compliment me on it like that.

Smooth, I don't know if I deserved it, but I got it anyway :)
