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.

I felt like I was ready to run a bit today, so I did the TM for 3 easy miles. Progressive starting at 6.8mph and finishing at 7.6mph. AP: 8:27

I was going to finish up on the elliptical, but my friend I hadn't talked to in a while was running alone on the track, so I caught up with her and chatted for a bit. Well...that bit turned into well over 20 minutes. She runs slower, so I'm going to just assume it was around 2 miles. Good chat!

Then, I saw Adam walking up the stairs with the day care worker...crud. Well, it was just a poopy diaper - thankfully. Changed him and finished up the last 15 min on the elliptical. stretched a little and headed home. The 'off season' is a nice time!

Awesome workout Rachel and good to hear you are okay after your ultra over the weekend.

I agree with you about the "off season"....LOVE IT!

Makes me not ever want to go to the on season!! Great work today!

You should seriously do an ultra next year. I don't think my body could ever handle more than a marathon. You go girl!

I am soooo glad we are past the poopy diaper stage. #badmemories. I agree with runningafterbabies- You nedd to do an ultra. Dooooooiiiiiit!

Nice job.

From Ken Bess on Thu, Nov 15, 2012 at 17:13:15 from 174.52.148.34

Glad to hear that you're feeling better and back at it! Nice work. That was a speedy recovery.

Rachelle, yeah, I'm okay...just fatigued! Can't get enough sleep.

Carina, AMEN!

Melody, The only ultra I'd want to do is Rim2rim2rim...maybe I should take baby steps there? :)

Scott, oh I'm trying to get out of that stage, but my child hates the potty!! uggghh. Which 'baby ultra' would you recommend for a pansy such as myself?

Nancy, thanks!

Ken, ummm...maybe not back at it like normal, but at least running instead of doing elliptical hell! :)
