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.

Early morning with Sandra around the 'hood. 4.2 miles with an AP of 9:58. She did really well and the uphill mile at the first was the slowest and then she was able to pick it up afterward, definitely a good run!

Headed out on my own for a few more. I was happy with what I was able to do pace wise. I really thought it was colder than it has been lately this morning. I took the route with a full mile up the hill of despair and my goal was to keep the pace under 9:20 - how happy was I when I got home and saw it was 9:17, hills are becoming easier!

AP: 8:43 splits: 8:47, 9:01, 9:17, 8:34, 8:02, 8:17 (last .3)

Hit the gym for a class before my Tuesday meeting. The class was called "strike" and it was a lot different than anything I'm used to, which is good :) I worked mostly core and arms but a decent leg workout too. It was kind of like kick-boxing, but more focus on weights and resistance. Now it's off to the races for the day!

Nice job. I like the new pic, too.

I think it is so nice of you to run with your neighbor that is a lot slower than you. I bet she will be a great runner like you from all your help.
