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.

Woke up for spin class - busy day and wanted to still get in a good workout. New teacher - GREAT class doing intervals, wow - sweat factory this morning!!

Now I'm showered and ready for a little stretch yoga, then I'm off to downtown to the children's museum. Thankfully I have a wonderful friend that will be joining me so I'm not bored to death all afternoon! 

*ITB was good until the last 15 minutes of class. Higher resistance and lower speed seems to be better than more of a 'free spin' - still no increase in hip tenderness YEA*

I'm glad you enjoyed your spin class and sweat factory.

Have a fun day at the children's museum.

You should change your blog format to include cross training or bicycle miles. That way you can still have some numerical significance to your effort. Hope you had a good time at the CM with your kids & friend! It is certainly a beautiful day!

Hope you had fun at the museum! Luz has a good point. You can totally change your template to include xtraining miles.

Thanks all! The museum was fun, but a big accident on the freeway on the way home ruined the mood by the time I got here!

I've thought about changing the blog, but I don't know how and I figure *meh* I'm not really caring one way or another about numbers besides miles. More or less, my PT asked me to keep track of pain after/during workouts - so that is my primary goal right now. That is why you always get to hear how my injuries are treating me :)

I can't believe how much you exercise when you are pregnant. I don't know how to change the blog to include my cross-training miles either. I went to get my teeth cleaned today and found out that your sister-in-law Annette has been cleaning my teeth for about the past 4 years. She said if you let her know she might be able to come to some of our Saturday runs.

I love the spinning when it's slower with super high resistance. It's where I shine...or used to anyway.

That crazy fast stuff makes me feel uncoordianted and sily.

I am glad you had fun at the Children's museum. It is always fun to spend the day with a friend.

From RAD on Fri, Jan 29, 2010 at 14:39:13 from 67.172.229.125

Nancy, Annette has told me before that someone whose teeth she cleans run with the BBK's, but we never figured out who. I'm glad we finally did! I guess I usually don't make it to Saturday runs, but I can definitely send the info on to her!

QP, no kidding. Sometimes I feel like my legs are simply spinning out of control!

Michelle, it was fun and I can only tolerate it with company :) My kids are too old to want me to play with them.
