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

6.00

Well, the first night with the sock went well. It didn't bug me too much, thankfully and my PF is really starting to feel like its on an up swing. Compared to last weeks low miles and the pain I was having then, this week I've been higher miles and pain is probably 60% less (today). So, I'm seeing this as a good thing. I'm gonna keep on keepin' on with all the stuff I'm doing until I don't feel that morning heel poke when I first stand up.

Decided to get out for a nice easy recovery run this morning. Just my normal 6 mile route at a nice and easy pace (9:29). The sunrise was beautiful and I was happy to be out and not pushing any pace, but just sitting back and enjoying it all!

Went to the gym and did 60 min of spin (my own class, I'm beginning to think I may be a good spin teacher. I can push myself pretty hard sometimes!), then went out to the pool and swam a mile in about 40 minutes (give or take).

Since today was my last day at Club Hollywood I decided to let the kids swim afterward. It was nice and my 4 year old (for once!) didn't want to leave. Oh well, it was good while it lasted and we got our last hoorah in.

Took Scott's advice and finally had that caffeine this afternoon. Between no sleeping in this week and frying in the sun this afternoon I was zapped. Lucky for me, my neighbor stocks a years supply of pepsi max. Not my favorite, but it'll do the trick!

i am glad your PF seems to be improving. sad about your last day at club hollywood. :(

if you really do start teaching spin, i'll come to your class for sure. "work harder! looks like a few too many vegan donuts are weighing you down! wapoosh"

What? You're leaving Life Time? What will my treadmill do when I'm out of town?

From RAD on Wed, Aug 31, 2011 at 17:38:11 from 76.27.16.189

Allie, I was thinking today about what kind of a teacher I'd be, and I don't think many 'donut eaters' would come :) I'm too mean! But, I would serve them after if you survive - and promise not to puke them up!

Rob, Your TM wasn't being nice to me last time I was on it. I think I was going too slow and it was whining at me. When you're out of town send me a guest pass and I'll be "Katerina VonHausenberg" and keep it running smoothly for you :)

Great news on your foot! You're getting faster and healing up right on time.

From RAD on Wed, Aug 31, 2011 at 18:14:00 from 76.27.16.189

Chad, fingers crossed!

So you can really sleep w/ that thing on? Andrea and I both had some PF issues last fall, and tried using it, but it drove both of us nuts, and we figured that getting a good night of sleep was more important. My cure for PF was actually skiing, which is not really an option at this time of the year! :-)

From RAD on Wed, Aug 31, 2011 at 18:26:36 from 76.27.16.189

Jake, I didn't tighten it too much. Just enough to keep it flexed, but not tight. No, it really wasn't too bad, but trust me - I'm a GOOD sleeper!! I've slept through many things I probably shouldn't have. When I have a baby I lighten up a bit, but usually it's my husband that gets up and brings the baby to me. My kids will LOVE me as mom when they are teenagers and sneaking out of the house. I sleep like a brick. I will have to try out some skiing in a few months and test out your theory :) totally worth it!

I'm glad your PF is getting better. I really like your new picture.

From Carina on Wed, Aug 31, 2011 at 23:00:49 from 204.15.86.83

Today is the first day I've been able to see your new picture, I LOVE it!! glad the PF is doing better!

From Smooth on Wed, Aug 31, 2011 at 23:07:19 from 174.27.211.63

WOW!!! You had some AWESOME mileage and speedy runs this week and it's only half way!

I LOVE the dancing picture! More marathons should be run that way! :)

So glad your PF is getting better and you and the kiddos enjoyed Club Hollywood one last time.

That inner beast is just waiting to bust out! All your workout "extras" are going to put you over the edge for SG! I can't wait!

From bye-wing on Thu, Sep 01, 2011 at 02:58:36 from 124.122.205.139

I'm jealous you call 6 miles an "easy" run. Take it easy with your injury, maybe cut back on the "dancing" for a while.

From RAD on Thu, Sep 01, 2011 at 13:53:30 from 76.27.16.189

Nancy, thanks! It was a fun time.

Carina, it's funny, but sometimes it takes me a couple days to see a new one too.

Smooth, Well, I'm not running another marathon this weekend :) I love the pic too!

Toby, I'm keeping my fingers crossed - and icing and rolling like crazy.

bye-wing, this week it is - ask me Monday after I race the 10K, I won't call that easy. More than anything it was the pace not the distance that was easy.
