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.

Early Morning run with Kelli. It was SO worth it to get up out of bed!

Seminary and back AP: 8:40.

Looking at my splits it cracks me up that my first mile was a 9:30! Poor Kelli having to drag along with my slow butt!! I did (obviously) redeem myself after that though. Just had to get through the uphill :)

Instead of then going to the gym, I took off on a BEAUTIFUL hike with a friend. Threw Adam in the backpack and took Lucy out and we headed 2.5+ miles up Yellowfork just exploring. The carpets of multi-colored leaves were awe inspiring! Acorns falling, quiet, clear, just moist air with the chill of fall. Seriously, beautiful! Total of just over 5 miles hiking and a memory full of beauty to last a lifetime!

I would have been about 15 seconds behind you through the first mile this morning :-)

Oh and good workout yesterday - don't be disappointed in that one. Those were good splits and honestly running them faster than 3:20 would have probably done more harm than good this close to StG

Sounds like a beautiful morning! :)

Fun Rach, sounds awesome!

From Kelli on Wed, Sep 26, 2012 at 17:06:14 from 67.172.235.55

I was enjoying our pace, I was talking so much and so fast and so animated that I needed to go a bit slower!!! Thanks for getting up with me!

Sounds like such an awesome morning! I cannot even fathom the thought of packing a 3 year old 5 mi in a backpack!! I watched my 2 year old nephew (that weights 30lbs mind you) today and couldn't even pack him 3 feet.

I am so impressed! :):)

I'm jealous. I need to go on a hike.

Jake, you mean I could've kept up with YOU?!? okay, then I'm good :)

Smooth, that it was!!

Kelli, thanks for letting me tag along. I needed a good girl run! :)

Rachelle, Well, he is only 2 and weighs only about 26 pounds - so that is the difference :)

Dale, oh yes! You should. You'd love it!!
