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.

Still not much sleeping on the baby front *sigh* If anyone has any good suggestions I'm all ears! I've always had good sleepers so this is new territory for me. Maybe I'm just expecting too much too soon.

I did get to sleep in today and just do the gym though - a bit of heaven honestly! Ran 1.5 on the TM @ 9:13 pace (felt pretty good and easy) simply to even out my miles for the week. Then I hit the elliptical and did more RW reading for another 60 minutes @ L10. Finished with a good 15 minutes of stretching. With a good nights rest I'll be ready for the 20 miler tomorrow! (hahahaha...)

Wow..you're up to 20 already. Hope little D lets you get some sleep tonight. Tell him he's sleeping on the balcony with Sophia if he's not quiet

:-)

Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child - I loved that book when trying to get my triplets to sleep through the night. Sorry - sleepness nights are so hard!

From Nancy on Fri, Sep 03, 2010 at 23:01:15 from 76.27.19.206

I'm sorry about the sleep. Good luck on your 20 miler tomorrow.

QP, I'll take Sophia's baby and she can have little D for the night :)

allie, it won't go nearly as fast as last week, but I'm sure we'll get 'er done.

Becca, yipee!!! I sent you a text - I can't wait to see you!!

Brent, 20 this month - 26.2 next!

Toby, I am now 7th in line to get it - and I better get it fast!! Thanks!

Nancy, if baby doesn't sleep I may need some good luck vibes - thanks!

I like your style QP. On the balcony! Or say - I wish the goblins would come and take you away right now.

Hey just a suggestion on the sleeping... I am not at all one of those mothers that reads "how to" books but I was desperate with my third. I love the book "The Baby Whisperer" when I first heard of this book I thought there was no way I would read it.. too cheesy for me, or so I thought. Anyway, it is fabulous!! One thing I did learn is I was not putting my baby to bed earlier enough. Anyway hope it helps. Her way of nursing is different than I do but everything else I pretty much stuck to.

From RAD on Sat, Sep 04, 2010 at 15:51:51 from 67.172.229.125

Burt, no goblins can take my baby! However, he may get stuck with Sophia and his playmate on the balcony.

Britta, honestly, I'll take anything I can get at this point. I've tried all of my tricks. The hard part is he used to sleep a good 8-9 hours and just recently 4-5 seems like his max. Things are going in the wrong direction!
