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.

10 miles with the Newtons. A new loop though, because it was just Chad and I until sometime during the night George decided to join us. We went from his house UP the Mtn View Corridor past the Jr High, Emmiline to Butterfield Park, down to City Hall via Main St, then Herriman Parkway back to his house. The first few miles were rough...LOTS of uphill. About 400 ft in 3 miles, oh I love me some hills. The only good thing about the route is the last 6 miles are nice downhill miles! 

I had dropped water by my house, I woke up hungry and thirsty and was afraid to run w/out any so I dropped it for all of us. That was our only stop other than a couple times we waited for George - he is still working on recovering from the marathon. I can't blame him. I remember it was a good month before I ran and didn't feel fatigued after my first full!

AP: 8:21 splits: 8:40, 8:52, 9:20, 8:41, 8:26, 8:17, 7:57, 7:58, 7:53, 7:46 - nice little progession on the way home. I didn't think I was running that fast. I would've said 9:20s up and 8:20's down with an average around 8:50ish. Man, my pace estimates aren't what they used to be. Is that a good thing?

Home, to the orthodontist with the eldest boy (he desperately needed his teeth looked at and there are a couple things we need to pay close attention to and possibly take him in for), then rushed him to school and I went to the gym to read and spin a little.

My boy had embarrassed me enough at the appointment with his bad behavior that I needed a little vent. Totally worth paying for daycare for only a 45 min day care session.

35 min on the bike, 5 min stretching the hammies/calves.

home, shower, music, Costco (big dinner on Saturday for the youth of our ward I'm doing), dinner prep and house cleaning before/while kids did homework and swimming so that we could eat and carve pumpkins after dad got home.

A busier day than I've had in a LONG time! I'm ready for bed. Another long day tomorrow.
