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.

Total Distance

5.00

Nice easy normal 5 route with Cal this morning. It's nice to have someone to drag my butt out of bed - or I might just sleep! The morning was nice and cool, but still warm enough to wear a skirt and t-shirt. It's nice to have these days back again. It was probably only around 50, but better than we've had in the past 8 months, so I can't complain!

Almost kept a decent pace...almost. I will blame it on Lucy today, it is NEVER my fault! :)

AP: 9:10 splits: 9:35, 8:45, 8:44, 9:13, 9:32 (uphill home, I lose it every time!)

Did a short warm up and a nice cool down then came home and stretched. Oh, the anxiety about Saturday is killing me. I just really wish all these aches and pains would go away. I can't wait to run happy and strong again without feeling everything ache! Blah!!

Now I'm off to boot camp, but will do a workout like the other ladies there - 2 for the regular 25 of everything in the set :)

Yeah, Saturday is coming! :)

From Nancy on Tue, Jun 07, 2011 at 11:22:58 from 76.23.21.118

It sounds like you had a nice run. I'm sure you'll do great a UVM.

From Carolyn in Colorado on Tue, Jun 07, 2011 at 11:48:46 from 76.25.72.82

Saturday will be here before you know it. You'll do great.

From Burt on Tue, Jun 07, 2011 at 12:34:57 from 206.19.214.144

So excited for you RAD!

From Smooth on Tue, Jun 07, 2011 at 14:33:22 from 67.2.98.167

LOVED that *normal* 5 route! :) :) :)

Looks like everything is coming together nicely for a fine race on Sat.! :)

Sounds like a fun morning. Wish I could join you sometime, but I probably couldn't keep up with you. :)

From Bec on Tue, Jun 07, 2011 at 23:39:14 from 71.199.9.12

Get out of boot camp and maybe the aches and pains will go away. Makes me sore thinking about it. You should come to my dance camp. 2+ hours of conditioning. Poor little girls.

About Saturday: Calm down and carb load.

From Leandra on Wed, Jun 08, 2011 at 00:01:03 from 97.117.102.220

Hope to see you Saturday! I'm doing the halfy.

From RAD on Wed, Jun 08, 2011 at 00:10:07 from 98.202.17.113

Lily, I just wish I could sleep a little more that morning. Otherwise I'm excited!

Nancy, thanks! I hope its a good day.

Carolyn, I may just have to run with Michelle and get to know her better!

Burt, thanks - see it IS all about me.

Smooth, I hope so - oh do i hope so!

bye-wing, that's okay I'll just keep up with you. You'd love the hills :)

Bec, honestly...boot camp is a bit of a sham workout. At the church for the ward ladies If I do the workout it is sometimes good. Only twice have I been sore! Trust me, I took it easy and didn't do much at all with the legs and only some of the arms. Mostly a chat session for me today :) Oh, and I've got the carbs under control!! Oh yes...that is the easy part :)

Leandra, YAY! I'll be excited to see you...I'll probably be a couple hours behind you if you are still around.

From allie on Wed, Jun 08, 2011 at 00:44:06 from 24.10.191.18

you'll do great saturday. you can rest and recover after the race and get rid of all those aches and pains. i am always up for a bike ride if you want to take up cross training for a bit. :)

From Steam8 on Wed, Jun 08, 2011 at 00:51:11 from 166.70.55.77

That is a great pace! I hope Saturday is a great run day for you. The weather looks wonderful! Good luck!

From David on Wed, Jun 08, 2011 at 02:05:36 from 174.52.182.34

New pic is sweet :) BTW... Do you ever just do one thing? Like just do a 5 mile run and that's it? You're like a robot I think.

From David on Wed, Jun 08, 2011 at 02:06:14 from 174.52.182.34

Will I ever be cool enough to earn a spot on your favorites? You're on my favorites :(

From RAD on Wed, Jun 08, 2011 at 18:09:16 from 98.202.17.113

Allie, I'm all in! Now to find a bike without a baby seat on the back... Or, I can just give you a ride?

Steam, I am excited the weather will be nice. I will just be happy to have it over with.

David, No...it's strange, but 'just a run' - unless it's a long run - never seems to satisfy me anymore. Oh, and as far as favorites go, I should add you! I'm just horrible at it, really! I rarely go into anything other than the calendar. I honestly don't use the favorites list that much either, I just hop from one to another to another through comments or other peoples favorites. I will get on it though, promise!
