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.

How can you be more sore from a 1/2 than a full? Quads feeling achy this morning so I didn't want to push it...I do have to try and keep up with the BBK's tomorrow! Hit the gym for step class and realized I have NO energy, so it's good I didn't run. Afterward spent 1/2 hr hitting the IT strengthening and balancing exercises from the PT. I know that lack of hip stability is my ITB problem, so that will be my focus until TOU full. I want a good, strong race.

I'll finish off the day with volleyball...starting a league with my friend! 2 games every Monday, best x-training EVER! :)

It sounds like you're getting plenty of exercise today, even without running.

You are a work out machine! Volleyball sounds tough, but fun!

Get some rest today, so you can keep up with the BBK tomorrow.

Guess who else is starting a Volley league tonight? Yep, you got it, RIGDON!! I heard all about it today. Great workout by the way. Good job in listening to your body.

No need to run junk miles. Those BBK workouts are so hard, I wouldn't be running on days before and after. Have fun with volleyball; but be careful. No injuries before TOU!

Devine Miss M = like your style - nice habit, workouts on top of workouts - save enough of those legs for TOU.

Stay Kool, 3 - a - day workouts, B of BS Rools out

Oh I LOVE volleyball! And that is great cross training! Have so much fun with that! And You're a running machine. Marathon one weekend, half the next, awesome!

You guys are hard core up there with the work outs and cross training. I'll bet you are so good a volleyball cause your tall. I think everyone sort of runs out of gas by TOU/SGM. You're working out hard with the BBk's. Stay strong, but be easy on that ITB! Good stretching!
