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.

Fell asleep watching TV last night, my husband was flabbergasted when I woke up at 8AM STILL tired. After going to the gym and waking up I feel better now...but I was tired!

Didn't run today, I'd contemplated it, but decided to give my body a bit of a break. I don't think I'll be up for a 'long' run tomorrow either...these 'ol bones are starting to wear down.

Elliptical @ L6 for 5 miles = 60 min. Lately when I do elliptical I don't really sweat, I'm there to read :) However, today I pushed the pace and was flinging sweat all over. Felt good to get a good workout without running.

Hit the bike for the last 30 min of daycare time. Recumbent bike 8 miles on L2 (a little resistance, maybe like a flat/small up in spin class). Tried to keep the HR up to get a few more calories burned.

I'm really starting to enjoy the book I'm reading as well "The House of the Scorpion" it's a good sci-fi read!

I'm proud of you for not running. That may sound crazy, but you push yourself so consistently, I'm happy to see you take it easy once in a while. Though it sounds like you did push yourself on the elliptical.

It's about time you gave your body a break if you can call all the other exercise a break. Even when you don't run you do more exercise than most people. I get tired just reading about all the exercise you do.

i'm going to need you to take an actual "rest" day and do nothing but..... REST!

Allie, I love having that reputation :)

Carolyn, thanks - it takes a lot of mental energy for me to be okay with not running, but today my body won me over! :)

Nancy, I'm trying to convince myself lately that it's okay to pull down my miles...I'm getting there.

KP, every Sunday I'm a good restful glutton!! :)
