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.

Easy day today, I need to save some for the 10 tomorrow. How sad...I have to rest to do a simple ten miles *sigh*

got to the gym early (still have to be home by 10 and the day care opens at 8:30, so if I want to sleep in at all I BARELY get 80-90 minutes) and wanted to do the bike, but for some stupid reason they took all the upright bikes and now we only have recumbent bikes - so I opted for the TM and a hill climb.

75 minutes on a 10% grade @ 3mph. Total of 3.75 miles and 750 calories.

Now to figure out how to get the run in tomorrow and not fight weather....

Good idea saving some for the run tomorrow. Are you going to the ForumFlyer run? I won't be able to make it again since I work so late (2 am). Have fun!!! Say hi to Smoothie for me.

Smooth decided to do her long run today in the sun and leave the snow to me in the morning :) I'm actually thinking I may save the run until the evening when the weather is better - I can probably ditch my kids at the in-laws and go during priesthood session.

Don't feel bad about resting up for 10. You are pregnant and coming back from an injury after all. Most people with those circumstances could not run at all, let alone run 10 miles.

From Nancy on Fri, Apr 02, 2010 at 15:37:01 from 76.27.19.206

Take it very easy on your 10 mile run. Remember you are pregnant. Just thinking about your 10 mile run makes me tired.

From Smooth on Fri, Apr 02, 2010 at 16:29:31 from 174.23.251.49

Rachel ~ I'm SO SORRY I cancel out on ya! Glad you took it easy today. I think it's safer for you to run closer to home with the storm and Conference weekend anyway. Good idea to wait till it clears out before doing the 10 miler. Take it easy and don't over do it!

From RAD on Fri, Apr 02, 2010 at 17:31:32 from 67.172.229.125

Carolyn, thanks - it's just hard when you want to bounce right back and you have to listen to your body!

Nancy, oh it will be easy - I just hope I can find some sun to run in!

Smooth, no worries I totally understand and I think it will work out better in the end anyway (for me and you!). LOVED the presentation last night - worth the drive and craziness!!

A simple 10 miles, pregnant? with a healing ankle. that's not easy miles.....You need to go back and readjust your brain for pregnancy mode. You should be using this time as an excuse to take it down a notch :)

The weather was not too bad today. There was a little wind at points, but no snow!!! i will come back later to see how your run went.
