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.

A beautiful, amazing, wonderful, needed run with Smooth, Karen and Slick (for a bit!). I really needed just a nice, easy relaxing run with some good peeps. Kept reminding me how much I enjoy running for the social aspects of it all. 

Thanks ladies for listening to me unload all the family secrets :) I can't wait for Ogden! It is always a party at the top!!!

AP: 9:18

I still had my watch set to bike from yesterday. I realized this and changed it about 2.5 miles in, so I can't give true splits. But, we did 8:40's and an 8:16 on the way down the last couple miles - excellent!

Love those social runs, sounds like you had a good one. Keep those legs fresh you are right on track :)

Sounds perfect. Great way to start your final stretch until the start of the race.

*Can't wait to see how well you do.

Unloading family secrets? I may have to force you to walk the plank if you keep that business up.

Glad you had a great run. Hope you are staying on top of the Strep with your antibiotics.

Have a great mother's day!

Paul, fresh legs...full tummy, my kind of week! :)

Becca, wish you would've been there to join us!

QP, don't worry about the secrets, they were old ones about Fredrick Louis and his gallivanting across Europe and America. Didn't even spill the Hansing cracker secret...some things are just too precious! :)

From Teena Marie on Sun, May 13, 2012 at 23:23:55 from 174.27.218.198

So ... a great run on Saturday and no mention of a sore throat!! SWEET!!! :) :) :)

Sounds like a good crew. I'm excited to see how you do at Ogden.
