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.

Oh I feel good. Yesterday I puked my guts out, but woke up this morning feeling good and wanting to get to the gym - so I did! (that darn cleanse idea just got naturally started a day early).

Did a full hour on the spin bike (one foot clipped, the other booted :)). Nice sweat drippage the entire time! This is what I've been needing!! Then I did an hour of miscellaneous resistance stuff - legs, core, pt stabilization for hips and core, just a little of everything - except arms :) I did leg presses on the advice of my PT. He said doing the leg presses in the boot (with my heel of course) would help keep the bone strength up for when I do start running again. I want to be ready to go when the foot is!

I feel great this morning, getting a good workout totally makes my day! I really need to remember this and not sleep in just because I can't run!

SO HAPPY you feel good! WAY to get in the routine of working out. Karen, Brad and I were talking about how your Oval run on the scooter is another great form of xtrain for when the foot is ready, the rest of the legs are ready and the brain remembers! GOOD JOB!!! Keep in up!!! :)

Yay!! I'm glad that you are feeling good. Nice job keeping up on the xtraining!!

awesome. at first i thought your first sentence was mean to be sarcastic, but apparently you really do feel good and that's great to hear! sorry for the puking, but a natural cleanse is better than drinking clay.

Smooth, thanks :) it's nice to have a good day in the craziness of injury pity parties. No more though, I'm doing this!

Carina, will do - it is the only thing to do, right?

Allie, the way it is written and my usual tone lately it certainly does seem a little sarcastic. I'm just glad I didn't have to eat clay to puke for 8 hours :)

Very nice!

Great workout with the boot! Feeling great from a hard workout is the best!
