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.

Nice quote, lol!

3 miles and yoga sound like a great workout day to me. Have fun cutie.

From Carina on Thu, Jan 20, 2011 at 11:37:34 from 204.15.86.83

Ha Ha, so often I feel like that! I've never done yoga, maybe I should give it a try sometime :)

When you race do you wear a watch? Garmin?

Lily, the pits stink!

Carina, yoga is my favorite!! You just need a good teacher :)

Catherine, I do; however, I don't look at it much if at all. I like it to be able to see my splits etc at the end, I'm really good at ignoring it (which can be good and bad!).

From Nancy on Thu, Jan 20, 2011 at 17:00:36 from 76.27.19.206

I'm glad you were able to run and then go to Yoga. I'm sure you are all set for Painters. Good Luck.

Aaaaah yoga, I need yoga or new knee! Nice work, Rad!

A little slice of cherry pie amidst the day at least, right?

Thanks for chattin' with me on my little 3 mile jaunt, i was SO not in the mood to day. My motivation is starting to DIE, dang competitiveness is about all that is keeping me going right now!

From RAD on Fri, Jan 21, 2011 at 00:38:43 from 67.172.229.125

Nancy, Ready or not...it's coming!

Smooth, yoga is SO good I think everyone should do it (peer pressure is on!).

Kelli, I could really go for some pie! For lunch I treated myself to a BAG of rollos :) Keep that competitive edge, anything that keeps you going - I wanna see some crushed spirits :)

I do believe there is book on a shelf I saw recently by that title....
