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.

6.3 miles up on the high country loop - hills galore. Now I remember why I don't like that loop :) but, anything to entertain visitors! The last mile home was nice, especially getting our own little Thanksgiving day parade. Check out QP's blog for pics.

Don't forget and spread the word!! Black Friday run, Lehi JRP 1500 N, 10AM. I will have good food and hot chocolate afterward too :)

It's a Dekker girls sale: For a limited time there will be buy one get one free Dekker girl workout opportunity. Running shoes and a good appetite are required. And the shoes are actually optional.

If anyone wants to come but doesn't have a good appetite, I'll enough for two.

And that high country loop is NOT entertainment. punishment, yes. entertainment, no.

Sounds like torture, good job getting it done!!

We have a funeral in Logan to go to, not sure what time we are leaving. I will check with Scott and then get back to you. I WANT to come! And I love that it is at 10 am instead of the crack of dawn.

I found a perfect run that we need to go do SOON. We will drive down 114th and park at the Wal Mart by the freeway and then run to the district and back. It is almost ALL uphill the way there, so the way back will be awesome (until the last .5, which is UP). What do you think?

Honk! Honk! Yeeehooooooo! It is about time RAD :)

Send me the address. We have Utah tickets on Friday too. Let me see if I can talk my hub into letting me run.

From bye-wing on Wed, Nov 23, 2011 at 22:48:59 from 115.87.19.243

The idea is....I would love to be there but can't. Tell a few good jokes for me. :)

Have a fun run. Keep an eye on QP that she doesn't eat herself sick :) :)

How many miles are you running? I am hoping to be there.
