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.

Yup, fell asleep at 10 on the couch trying to watch the news. Went to bed around midnight, then slept till 8. I feel GREAT today!! 

Hit the gym, 60 min on the elliptical @ L8 - total of 4.5 miles. Feet were falling asleep, so I moved to the TM. 30 min, 10% grade @ 3.2 mph - total of 1.5 miles.

Had a great time reading and chatting with everyone at the gym. Wow, I really can't believe I only have 5 days left, or 5 'sleeps' as I would explain to my kids :)

or, if you're like me, it would be about 13.5 sleeps ;)

i can't believe the exercise you're still doing this late in the game. did you do this with your others?

KP - no, not really. This is the first pregnancy that I've been a 'runner' or crazy and some call us. I would do water aerobics a couple times a week, and walk around the 'hood a bit, but I've never done it like this before. I honestly like it better this way! I have SO fewer pregnancy aches/pains/swelling/heartburn/weight etc etc - it is REALLY nice! People just think I'm crazy, which I can get over pretty easily :)

Sounds like your close the "finish line!"

From DonGardinero on Thu, Jun 17, 2010 at 15:10:02 from 75.162.161.123

Glad you were able to get a good nights sleep and an awesome workout.

From Nancy on Thu, Jun 17, 2010 at 16:24:45 from 76.27.19.206

I'm glad you can get a good nights sleep and some exercise clear to the end of your pregnancy. I don't think I got a good nights sleep at the end of any of my pregnancies.

From RAD on Fri, Jun 18, 2010 at 09:44:36 from 67.172.229.125

MrsFIT - yes, another 'marathon' finish line that I am looking forward too! Only problem is sometimes it comes a lot faster or is a lot further away than you really think :)

Dale, thanks, I feel they are few and far between this week (sleep AND workouts!). It was nice to have both!

Nancy, sounds crazy, but falling asleep on the couch first really helps me sleep better through the night. I don't know why, but it does!

nice workout. 5 days? wait, 4 days. exciting!

From Michelle on Fri, Jun 18, 2010 at 12:16:27 from 71.212.190.146

Great workout and lots of sleep, sounds like a great day!

Enjoy the sleep while you can! (I wish I had a good nights rest last night). Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy.
