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.

1.5 spin classes - 90 minutes. Hurry home, shower, pack up the kids and now I'm off for the rest of the day. Skiing (for the kids and grandma - lodge/baby duty for m) then Mythbusters live with my favorite daughter tonight while grandma gets boys/baby duty :)

A BIG thanks to Kelli - the early riser. She grabbed a spin pass for me at 5AM so I didn't have to get there until class started :)

:) :) :), and :). You should be really proud of yourself for 1. Getting up that early. 2. 1.5 hour spin class 3. Stay in the lodge at the ski hill. Hopefully the snow is still crappy, you won't be missing out today.

Myth Busters sounds awesome, you enjoy it with Lauren! Your mom skills ROCK!

Is spinning hard while wearing the boot? I'm very impressed with you getting in your workouts while being injured. Awesome. Have fun up there at the lodge.

Hang in there Rach! I'm happy to see you're not letting this injury get the best of you. Bec's right, the snow is terrible. I hope you enjoyed some baby bonding time.
