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.

With the ice and snow on the roads I figured it would be better to run on the TM this morning, plus then I could sleep in :) Got a phone call just as I was leaving at 9 and had to deal with it, so I didn't get to the gym until 9:45 which made me miss all my normal TM running pals...so it was back to my music. I spent the first 15 min on the elliptical to get the body moving - I find this helps me start at a faster pace on the TM. Then about 20 min into running, my friend Amy came (her kids are off track too and we both adore sleeping in!). So, I got to run while she walked and ran - again good things came to those who slept! :)

AP: 8:59 (just slipped in under 9 with a final push!). Started at 9:22mm and felt great, I think this chest congestion is finally moving on. One of my usual progressive runs ending with the last .1 at 6:58 pace. Good times and my head needed a good run as much as my body did today.
