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.

Sick baby = no gym time and no sleep time or getting up early.

Translation: forced rest day.

I'm thinking I may go late tonight and get some miles in after dad gets home.

I'm being a pansy today and avoiding the cold. No way am I running outside today.

From Kam on Wed, Feb 02, 2011 at 11:15:44 from 68.66.163.179

Aren't babies great? They give you a day off once in a while. You'll probably "rest" all day cleaning,doing laundry/dishes, cleaning up puke, holding baby and driving carpools. Enjoy the day off...er, you know what I mean.

From catherine on Wed, Feb 02, 2011 at 11:22:17 from 98.202.112.51

Sorry your baby's sick! I hope you can catch up on your rest soon.

From RAD on Wed, Feb 02, 2011 at 11:27:38 from 67.172.229.125

Maurine, I'm not complaining about an excuse to not run OUTSIDE! I had a great workout planned for the TM this morning, one I'd been wanting to tackle for a while.

Kam, yup! I've got 5 three year olds coming over for two hours this afternoon - I'll definitely get some "rest" in then and afterward cleaning up the tornado!

Catherine, he's just got a fever and you can tell he's not feeling well. No other symptoms. He got his flu shot/booster this year so I don't think it's that, I just don't know and I hate to see him miserable! Well, and not sleep myself, but I'll get over that.

From Smooth on Wed, Feb 02, 2011 at 11:32:03 from 67.2.78.121

Sorry Adam is sick!!! Monitor his fever and symptoms closely!!! Hope it's just a 24 hr thing.

Forced rest is hard...we all know how that feels! :)

From RAD on Wed, Feb 02, 2011 at 11:44:49 from 67.172.229.125

Smooth, that I will do. When you have a sick baby it means sitting and cuddling all day, which I sure don't mind. I just wish HE felt as good as I do while I get to do it :) David has a cold and is on breathing treatments (he gets asthma when he gets sick) and Craig isn't feeling too well and Nathan has a stuff nose, so I think it's going around. Hopefully I can avoid it!

From Carina on Wed, Feb 02, 2011 at 13:32:22 from 204.15.86.83

I think it's funny how "hard" it is to take a rest day sometimes. I feel so guilty for missing a workout! I say if you can enjoy your rest day, don't stress about getting to the gym later :)

From calliej on Wed, Feb 02, 2011 at 15:48:28 from 97.126.148.132

Hope baby gets well soon. Rest day isn't all that bad. I take too many of them. :)

From Nancy on Wed, Feb 02, 2011 at 21:19:20 from 76.27.19.206

I'm sorry your baby is sick. I hope you get some sleep tonight.

From Toby on Wed, Feb 02, 2011 at 22:01:22 from 66.133.97.196

Hope you ate lots of tootie rolls too! Hope you had fun with your triplet friends :)

From The Quiet Pirate on Thu, Feb 03, 2011 at 10:10:16 from 152.26.59.252

You're getting a 3 year old workout, for sure!!

Hope little D is better soon so his mommy can tackle the TM beasty workout!

From glidergirl on Thu, Feb 03, 2011 at 15:38:33 from 155.100.79.86

Good luck with everything, hopefully everyone is feeling better today. You're a good mom! ;)
