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.

Too tired to feel like I want to run and my SI joint on my back isn't happy either. But, I still finally got to the gym.

2 on the track, 2 on the TM. Too much talking to do more in my 45 minutes before Kindergarten pick-up. But I got something done, right?

Yes, you did get something done!! (Unlike me). I had no desire. Great looking week Rachel, I am sure you will do something insane tomorrow cause I heard Utah is heading into the 50s.

Boston will be here soon enough and the you can chill, right? hahaha, yeah right.

Thats right! Something is better than nothing ... although rest is nice too :)

Devine, hope you feel better for the camp.

Please forgive me- I don't know what SI joint pain is. I've been so bad about reading blogs that I'm behind on the back stories (no pun intended).

You did get a nice run in despite it all, and a little bird (a robin?) told me that your night ended deliciously!

Maybe not a super hard day, but something is always better than nothing. It also looks like you did 3 workouts the day before. Maybe your body needed a rest. Hope your back is better soon.

How was your mega run on Sat.? :). You know I can only stalk you here since I'm not a facebooker! :)

How's the back Rach?

Hope you're feeling better.
