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.

Eight, horrible, painful and slow miles... 

WHEN will I learn that eating like a glutton is NOT good for me? when? blech.

So, I went to a celebratory dinner at Ruby River with hubby last night. He's been working really hard to pass a certification test and passed with flying colors, so we had to go out! 1 Bloomin' onion, 1 lettuce wedge DRENCHED in dressing, 1 steak with gorgonzola cheese on top, 1 jacketed yam with cinnamon butter and a few steamed veggies later...my gut was NOT happy. It all tasted yummy, but I am paying for it today. Reminiscent of my Cheesecake Factory night! The only positive thing I can take from this is that my body has fundamentally changed. I used to eat like this all the time, with no ill effects (except increased body weight) and not blink and eye. The fact that this makes me sick for the next 24 hours and I want to eat NOTHING, makes me feel good that I've treated my body well and it likes to be treated that way. I need to learn that I can't do crud like this anymore! But...oh, how I love to eat :)

Met Chad, Christine, Kim and George for 8 miles on mostly trails around the daybreak area this morning. Kim knows some really good single track sneaky trails around! It was good fun - except that I could hardly keep a 9mm and had to stop and heave multiple times :) I'm looking forward to doing this route next week and not be so distracted by my gut.

Went home and caught a 45 min nap before rounding up the troops for rec center time.

Spin class - I was at the effort level she asked for, because I would've puked otherwise, but I still didn't feel like it was the workout I was used to.

Masters Swim with Lauren (my 11yr old daughter) - timed 200 = 3:30; feels good that I was able to maintain this from when I was timed a couple months ago and haven't been swimming much. Lauren finished in 4:00 - ahead of 70% of the women in the class! Nice work my sweet girl, you rock! I did have to take pride that I can still beat her, it won't be long until I can't anymore. Then we did a workout with mostly pulling - that is always hard for me.

Finally home and I still want to just puke - blech. I really should learn a lesson from this! We'll see... :)

allie, it's times like these I wish I was a vegan. I wouldn't do this to myself if I had any sort of self-control! I saw a bumper sticker last night: Know your limits; exceed them often. I thought this was a wonderful saying, until I exceeded my GUT limit that I KNEW of...and now I just regret it.

hahaha...you can still get bubble guts on a vegan diet. do you know what happens when you overdo it on apples? or eat half a watermelon in one sitting? :)

You didn't mention peanuts? How did you avoid those??? :)

I can't believe you not only made it out but worked soooo hard! What a model mom-athlete you are! Are you going to TG Point?

Great run. The dinner sounds delicious.
