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 early morning spin classes. Baby got some nasty cough/croup thing this weekend so I can't take him to the nursery. He is going to the doctor this afternoon though. I got my 120 minutes of cardio in, so I'm good.

You motivate me to go get my cardio in too! Still sitting here.

TWO early morning spin classes before people even roll over in bed!!! YOU ARE SUPER WOMAN!!! Hope baby is okay. It was quite a weekend for the whole family.

Just a curious question: do you wear your boot spinning? If so, does it make an imbalance of the legs?

GOOD JOB!!! Your quads and cardio gonna be so strong!!! :)

From Rachelle on Mon, Jan 23, 2012 at 15:04:01 from 199.190.170.29

You are amazing. Nice job!

From Scott Wesemann on Mon, Jan 23, 2012 at 17:17:47 from 205.158.160.209

Wow! That is a lot of spinning. I bet you had a bit of sweat going. :)

Your poor baby! I hate it when my kids get sick. Good thing you got 120 minutes of feeling good in so that you can feel great the rest of the day!

From Nancy on Mon, Jan 23, 2012 at 22:39:22 from 76.23.21.118

Nice job with the spin classes. Hope the baby feels better soon.

Becca, I hope you got that cardio in!!

Smooth, yes, I have to wear my boot while I spin. I think it probably causes lots of imbalances, but I have to do something and I hope it will work itself out when I get back to running, since I'll have to come back slowly anyway.

Rachelle, thanks! I can't wait to get out again soon.

Scott, a nice pile of sweat :)

Amy, yeah, I'm really glad I woke up and got it in!! Can't control sick kids, but I can still get my cardio in!

Nancy, he has croup so he was put on steriods. He may be feeling better, but is ornery as crud because of them!

Allie, getting better...well, kind of :)

QP, yeah, the bike is starting to wear on me though. I can't wait until I can get OFF it!!
