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 eight out and about by my lonesome early this morning. Didn't really want to get up early, but knew I'd regret it if I didn't. First six miles on the Rosecrest up route through the cove, then home and the last 2 with lazy Lucy. AP: 8:50 splits: 8:55, 8:40, 9:26, 9:15, 8:59, 8:16, 8:31, 8:39 and finished at a 6:23 for the 50 feet over 8 miles I ran :)

Now I'm off to spend the day sitting in the lodge at Brighton with baby while the kids take their ski lesson. Fun times!

Great job getting out early by your lonesome. I hope that one of these days your easy paces feel easy to me.

Devine Miss Ski Bunny, have fun, nice consistent running. Have you made the first page of the mileage board?

Stay Kool, B of bs rools out

It's so hard to be motivated to go run all by yourself in the dark and cold! Good Job today!!

From Teena Marie on Wed, Apr 06, 2011 at 17:48:57 from 67.2.71.182

Yes, fun times! :)

Carolyn, I'm slowly getting there, but most of the time I don't really care about pace, I should, but I don't.

Brent, I wish I could've been the ski bunny - I just got to sit around and watch them all day. It was a nice break though, and the kids are all doing a GREAT job skiing! Mileage board? meh, I don't ever check. I know I'm not that high.

Carina, it really is! I can't wait for at least sunshine to accompany my runs.

Teena, I loved taking the day off to take the kids skiing! Memories to last a lifetime.

sounds like a fun day! plenty of great skiing to be had in this extended, extended, ridiculously extended winter.

From RAD on Wed, Apr 06, 2011 at 23:27:41 from 98.202.17.113

Allie, it was a perfectly beautiful day up there! No wind, nice and warm (okay, pleasant for a ski resort with 7+ feet of snow) sunny and a few inches of freshly fallen snow from the night before. I couldn't have made it more perfect if I'd tried! I was just bummed I didn't get to ski, next year though - watch out! I'll be there! After all, skiing is the only good thing about winters in Utah.
