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.

Got up early and did a nice ride. 

Climb up Rose Canyon, then out to Mtn View Corridor - out and back, then back home.

Got pulled over by the cops this morning :) yup. true story. I guess you can't be on the unopened sections. I've now been black-listed as warned about this. I don't think I'll be on the corridor anymore!

Now, I'm off to the gym for a weight session and a swim.

Good weight set - 3X arms (shoulders, back, triceps), 2 min cardio. running legs set (lunges, band walk, calf raises) 3X, 2 min cardio. Core set (on the ball, with a weighted ball, free standing) took off to get to the pool so I could get done with only a 1 hr charge at day care.

30 laps - 1500 yds - 1.3km - .83 miles -- in 33:30. I was hoping to get a full mile in, almost there! But, had to get out to get to day care or I'd pay for an extra hour and have only used 10 minutes of it. Still, good workout!

You are seriously the best cross trainer I know!!

From Nancy on Wed, Aug 01, 2012 at 09:15:53 from 76.23.21.118

Nice ride. I didn't know you couldn't ride on the unopened corridor either. My daughter and I have ridden on it twice.

From Rachelle on Wed, Aug 01, 2012 at 09:37:35 from 159.212.71.77

haha so so funny about getting pulled over. Did they flash the lights & everything?

Great cross training Rachel!

Carina, you certainly know what it takes to get that running bug out of your system when you can't do it! Thanks!

Nancy, Yeah, be careful - they're out there now. Watching and waiting :)

Rachelle, oh yes. He chased after me, cut me off with his car with lights on too! Oh yeah, no messing around. I was a true delinquent this morning! On the run/ride from the law!! :)

I wanna see your mugshot.

From Teena Marie on Wed, Aug 01, 2012 at 12:18:41 from 67.2.96.50

Laughing about the pullover!!! You are such a criminal!!!! :)

Nice workouts!

From catherine on Wed, Aug 01, 2012 at 12:25:18 from 98.202.112.38

Wow - crazy about the cop. I'm glad they didn't confiscate your bike or something.

From Toby on Wed, Aug 01, 2012 at 16:34:59 from 199.101.229.6

Ha Ha! Didn't know I just a rebellious friend! Hooray for being smart with your recovery! How does your foot feel today?

From Terri on Wed, Aug 01, 2012 at 19:10:18 from 108.28.226.253

great story!

From Smooth on Wed, Aug 01, 2012 at 22:53:01 from 63.230.18.70

Your workouts always scares me!!! Now the cops got your mugshot to go with the Helga portrait too! Kowabunga! :)

WAY to get in all the workout before having to pay extra hour of day care...you're a genius penny-pincher! hehe :)

From RAD on Thu, Aug 02, 2012 at 12:49:49 from 98.202.23.178

Scott, trust me...you don't! :)

Teena, I know, such a rebel I am!!

Catherine, shoot. I didn't even think about them taking my bike, that would really stink!

Toby, the foot is feeling better and I hardly have to think about how to walk today. Each day is significant improvement, but I am determined not to run until I can walk with no pain...zero, maybe a 1/10 :)

Terri, I rarely get the good ones - QP

always gets the best stories :)

Smooth, Watch out running with me, you might get in trouble! :)
