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.

Oh so tired. When I woke up to go out for a run this morning the snow was just starting to fall, and it was windy and cold. I opted to skip step class and hit the TM today. 

60 min @ L11 on the elliptical - 5.9 miles

2.15 miles on the TM; AP 9:04

blah, blah, blah on the shins. Pain is worse, but running is okay...I just tired of it all so I'm just going to shut up about it until I go to the PT next Monday.

That really stinks about the shins. I thought for sure they'd start feeling better by now.

sorry about the shins. hope the PT can give you some answers! also sorry about the wind, cold and snow. yuck! great workout though.

That's tough news about the shins. The cold makes everything that hurts 100 times worse. Good call in the tredmill. I nursed myself through a serious case of facitis on the treadmill. Take it easy, heal up. Hope you get some help at PT.

I'm sorry about the shins. I bet you are so frustrated. It sounds like you still got a good workout.

SNOW? Aaarrrggggghhhhhh. Pirates hate snow. The cold kind anyway. And most of them can't afford the other ;-)

Devine Miss M - my two cents, take it or leave it, don't run, you won't lose much conditioning, sore shins can easily turn into a stress fracture, been there done that. You have bigger and funner times soon coming, speed will not matter.

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

It was a Monday, and a TM day just for that! Great to see you runnin' again.
