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.

2.25 miles in 45 minutes at 10% grade walking on the TM.

90 minute spin class - who needs a shower when bathed in sweat? :)

45 minutes on the elliptical at a good (but not hard) level - didn't check stats before I stopped.

ITB whined during spin then screamed during elliptical. I beat it into submission! Hip still feeling fine - yay!!

Great workout. I'm glad the hip is okay. What's up with the crazy ITB though?

From RAD on Sat, Feb 06, 2010 at 18:20:03 from 67.172.229.125

I don't know about that stupid stinkin' wretched nasty horrible thing!! I seriously wish I could get some answers, but no one seems to have any for me. So I just mentally beat the pain into submission and go on with life :)

From Nancy on Sat, Feb 06, 2010 at 18:21:34 from 76.27.19.206

I'm sorry about the ITB pain. For someone pregnant you sure do workout hard. In fact you work out harder than most people who aren't pregnant.

From Brent on Sat, Feb 06, 2010 at 21:20:50 from 76.8.201.223

Devine - positive side, heck of a climb on the treadmill, 100 commando points for being one tough sassy expecting - without blood, sweat and tears, well with tears about the ITB.

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

RAD- what a workout...3 hours at the gym makes one super tough mama. I hope you treated yourself to a yummy something or another afterward.

Glad your hip isn't hurting you. Now what's in store for that ITBand?

From RAD on Sun, Feb 07, 2010 at 22:37:48 from 67.172.229.125

Nancy, I guess I'm just feeling like a slacker because I can't get 'miles' in.

Brent, thanks-I'm enjoying the climbing! Time in the gym with friends makes it worth all the tears :)

QP-I treat myself too often these days, thus the 3 hours in the gym! IDK about that stupid thing, maybe the next 'surgery' I'll have is for them to take a chunk out of it!! (hmmm...can I find a mole in that area to use as an excuse?)

From Smooth on Sun, Feb 07, 2010 at 23:08:56 from 174.23.215.144

WOW! That's a LONG time in the gym. I don't know any pregnant woman workout as much as you do! Glad to hear no hip pain. Here's to some real miles real soon!

From Bec on Mon, Feb 08, 2010 at 00:50:32 from 76.23.55.210

RAD,

Thank you so much for spending long hours at the gym with me. That workout was awesome! I got home and I literally felt like I had ran 20 miles without the pounding. What are your plans for next Saturday? Let me know and I will plan my TRI accordingly. I wish spin were 90 minutes every Saturday morning.

From Michelle on Mon, Feb 08, 2010 at 11:25:30 from 97.122.164.68

What a long workout! When you are able to run again you will be really strong. Glad your hip is feeling better, I hope your ITB starts behaving soon.
