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.

Was happy to get to the gym and NOT have to pay for the class! Dentist appointment made me miss 1/2 of class, but it was still a good step class. Then hit the TM for 6 more, definately feeling the lead legs from not doing much for 4 days! did 4 of the 6 at 8:30 (plus) mm and had to ramp down to 10 mm for a couple middle miles to get past my 'wall'. However, its nice to be back on treadmills that don't move underneath your feet (like on a rocking ship) and to have the wonderful company of Kelli back :) Made those first few until she left me, go really quick! See all you BBKers tomorrow morning then I'm excited to actually meet some bloggers I've chatted with or stalked (shh, don't tell) at the Riverton 1/2 on Saturday.

Dang Mike interrupted my story, too. But I can not put it on the blog, I will have to tell you later!

Glad to have you back. I was a little out of it this morning, stealing the only available treadmill (I did not even notice until I saw you coming, but then you had Shannon to chat with so I just stayed put!)

Glad you got to run on a treadmill that stays. Road running will be so sweet. Let's hope spring returns, no more wind and horizontal snow. We will have good weather on Sat. right? Please say it will be. Can't wait to see you then.

Kelli - Yeah, did you hear what Mike interrupted for?!? He was trying to sell me some 'diet' stuff he's into now....blah, blah, blah! I'll look forward to the story tomorrow morning :)

Smooth- So far it looks like good weather. I feel kind of cheated that I left during the good weather and then come home to snow! I was hoping I'd miss the last of it :(
