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.

I had to sleep in today...waking up early the next 3 days in a row just might kill me :)

Thankfully my neighbor could watch my little terror so I didn't have to take him back to the gym today. He got written up for biting again yesterday. 

6 on the TM - progressive. Started at 7.0 for 2 miles, 7.1 next 2, 7.2 for 5th, 7.3 and then progressive every 1/4 mile to the finish (and every .05 the last quarter). Pulling the end at a 7:30. TT: 50:45 AP: 8:27

Went to swim and coach had us doing different strokes, not just free. I've never done fly before in my life, but did it for 50 today. I felt pretty cool, but probably looked like a big DORK! Oh well, good arm workout for sure today. Swimming always seems to help recover well from the running. 1900yds total

I am laughing...ab out your babe getting written up at the gym. Poor kid

Nice workout again, Rachel. You are a lot more patient than I am. If one of my kids would have done that, I'd probably never go back to the gym. Kudos to you. Lol

Lily, yeah, he is a little turd! I could go on and on about the things he does. Good thing he is cute - or I'd send him back.

Dale, I do get pretty embarrassed about it, but the ladies are good to him and no one says I can't bring him back. He has been doing a lot better! 2 months since the last one. When I signed the incident report yesterday I told them they should just make some blank copies with my signature on it :)

My youngest is a little sheet too, but he is slowly getting better. Hang in there. 1900 yards? Uhhhh I couldn't do 100.

From Rachelle on Wed, Apr 18, 2012 at 15:31:33 from 199.190.170.21

So funny that they are writing 2 year olds up these days. :)

I am glad you got an awesome workout in Rachel.

Great workout, you are really getting it done. One of my boys tried the biting thing once...I bit him and that pretty much solved that ha ha.

From Steam8 on Wed, Apr 18, 2012 at 21:14:07 from 166.70.55.77

You and your kid stories always crack me up! I hope the biting stops soon. Sometimes I feel like biting people. I wonder if it would help me feel better? ha! XO

You need a muzzle.

From RAD on Thu, Apr 19, 2012 at 19:30:48 from 98.202.23.178

Scott, it's all relative. stopping and talking every 100-200 sure helps :)

Rachelle, I think this is his 3rd or 4th write up! he's a delinquent!!

Paul, will you come bite mine?!?

Amy, I was a biter, and let me tell you...it does make you feel better :)

Chad, that or duct tape!!
