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.

My legs were not ready for running this morning. I took too much out of them yesterday. However, I went to meet the BBK's for a hill run knowing what my Friday looked like and needing the miles this week. Started out nice and slow, definitely a Kenyan this morning! 3 mile warm up then a marathon tempo run up 9800S 3.5 miles - 2 almost 800's at 10K pace at the top - 1/2 marathon tempo back. I didn't hit any of my paces, except I was proud of myself for pushing the 800's and keeping them at or below 7:30's the whole time (that WAS a push this morning!) 

Got home showered and rushed out the door to meet my sister at Snowbird. We and our kids took the tram to the top then did a 5 mile hike down, I of course had my 25 pound baby water and food on my back! Well, okay he's 2, but he's still my baby.  Then we rode the chair lift up to the tunnel walked through, let the kids play in the snow rode down. Dinner and swimming wrapped up the evening and I didn't get home until 11:00! I was so tired I didn't even unpack it all, I just plopped in bed!

AP: 9:03 splits: 9:58, 9:35, 9:20, 10:04, 9:44, 9:31, 8:19, 8:09, 8:12, 8:07, 8:01 (last .5)

In the run I finally started feeling good about mile 5.5, which is completley evident from my splits. Plus it helps that the last 4 splits were all downhill :)

The quad didn't like the downhill hiking too much, but survived nicely - well, better than I expected after the first mile.

I am so impressed with you for getting those tens point five miles in with the BBK's. I really don't know how you did that with the bumb kicking on Weds. I am really proud of you for pushing that hard. All of the activity on top of that? You are Super mom-lady-human. How can bodies handle all of the stress. RECOVER RECOVER RECOVER, run a long one tomorrow!!!
