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.

Mixed up day for me. They're starting zumba at the gym and I really wanted to try the class, so I had to change it up. I knew the BBK's would only be doing 6 this morning due to recovery so I did my own 6 on the TM at the gym - that way I could do my personal training beat down session early in the morning AND get the run in AND go to yoga AND try zumba. whew! What a mouth full.

So...45 min of training, mostly arms and core

6 miles on Milley -my new best friend :) She was nice this morning. Kept the pace at 8:30 with the incline at 1%. I really want 8:30 to become my new 'easy' average pace for long runs, I think not letting myself fall into the 9's when I'm lazy will help with overall speed and endurance, so I'm using Milley to help with this!

Home now to get kiddos off, then I'll do yoga and try zumba. YEA! I've wanted to try it for a while, hope it's not so  crowded you can't move!

*update* Zumba was SO fun! It's like dancing for 45 minutes...the only down side is that you need to know how to move your hips FAST! I'm not quite that coordinated; however, it worked the crud out of my hips. The best x-training for my ITB's I think I've ever found! This will surely strengthen my hip stability.

Congratulations on finding a new friend in Milley. I'm afraid she and I are not friends, though we used to be. She just lives too far away from me.

You're going to have to provide a description of zumba. I don't know what it is. I suppose I could google it, but I'm too lazy.

Carolyn, it really is like a 'dance' class, but with like salsa, flamenco kind of hip shaking stuff :) Lots of good cardio, then she did some 'toning' at the end. I certainly wasn't coordinated enough to make it look pretty, but in a room of 30 people I'm hoping it was crowded enough no one noticed my flailing arms, legs and thighs :)

Look at you work it girl!!! Good job this morning. I need to get back to Zumba, it is a little fun. I would have loved to see you do it. :)

From RAD on Thu, Oct 08, 2009 at 16:56:25 from 76.27.12.70

uh yeah..you would've loved to LAUGH at me doing it! I'm too long and lurpy to do it nicely :)

You seriously work out HARD!!!

Nice!

From Nancy on Thu, Oct 08, 2009 at 19:08:50 from 76.27.69.172

Great job with all the workouts. The Zumba sounds fun but I sure wouldn't do it in front of anyone.

WAY to rumble, you workout girl! Have a GREAT weekend!

Looks like one of those class I will try to avoid. I will only end up hurting myself. But does sounds like fun. Right on.
