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.

Oh how amazing to sleep in! Plus baby slept until 4:30 ate and went back to bed, so I finally got some sleep (only one interruption all night, not the 4-5 of the last couple nights!). Now I just have to get to bed on time tonight so I can wake up at the crack of dawn for my 18 miler with the croc runner :)

Rest day: did just 90 min on the elliptical @ L10 = 6.0 miles and caught up on one back issue of Runner's World. Good reading as always.

Good luck to all the racers tomorrow!! Love reading weekend race reports!

who runs in crocs? that is so lame. don't even get me started on the fashion "don'ts" involved with that.

glad you were able to get some good sleep. nice job on the elliptical...i do not consider that rest! also, we are meeting well before the crack of dawn. see you in the morning. :)

Okay, maybe not the crack of dawn. Just a hair past quarter after the baby wakes up and needs to be fed :)

18 miler?? Good beast! Good luck with that one! Sounds like the baby is enjoying life ;)

I'm glad you finally got some needed sleep.

From RAD on Fri, Aug 27, 2010 at 22:32:35 from 67.172.229.125

David, you run fast, I'll run far :) Fartlek is a very good baby and seems to be tolerating us pretty well.

Brent, hmmm - I'd like to think I'm an elephant, big and clumsy but never forget and am always moving forward :) Maybe this croc run will be therapeutic, since she did pull my nose out so long!

Nancy, thanks - I wish I could get it every night!
