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.

Working off cookie dough sitting on my thighs today :)

Boot camp - HARD workout/weights! I think I'll be sore tomorrow. Had us run a .2 outside for a cardio burst, felt good to be on the 'road'!

Hit the TM - 35 min total: walk 5 min, run 1 mile @ 9:05mm, walk 3 min, run 1 mile @ 9:05mm, walk 3 min, run .55 @ 9:05, cool down.

Twice I got to run a full mile! Short break between, but I'm loving getting in a full mile and feeling like I have more to give! I would've done 3 full, but had to get home to babysit.

***such a beautiful day, took the kids to daybreak lake in the evening and walked & pushed stroller while 2 older kiddos rode bikes. GREAT 1 hour walk. Only bad decision was wearing flip flops for the first time this season. Sore feet!***

Great workout!

I'm pretty sure that the cookie dough goes in your mouth, not on your thighs.

Congratulations on the full miles!

From RAD on Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 23:39:48 from 67.172.229.125

Thanks all! Oh, and Carolyn...next time I'll try putting it in my mouth instead :)

Sounds like a perfect day, running a full mile and an outing with the kids! Hey your 9:05 is my marathon pace! You're getting speedy on me already!

From The Quiet Pirate on Thu, Mar 18, 2010 at 14:12:31 from 24.199.205.252

flip flops on your precious pregnant feet for an hour walk????? Sister Blister....why I out to....well, you know.

Congrats on your runs! You're the come-back girl!

Smooth, I can do 9mm for ONE mile....you do it for 26! You're SO speedy :)

QP, I know, I know - you must've been the one to blister my bottom...I mean feet :)
