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 wonderful 'rest' day. I needed the sleep and time off the road. 

Spin class, good 60 minute push.

Swim, 32 laps. Usually this is a mile, but I think this pool is more like 25 yds and not Meters, but I didn't have time for more - daycare was calling...

Getting ready for tempo miles tomorrow.

Go tempo runs! I love that tarantula pic.

You make swimming sound so easy and I think it is hard. Nice job.

From The Quiet Pirate on Fri, Sep 09, 2011 at 21:55:05 from 65.191.243.172

you certainly do deserve a rest day after such a busy & full week. Hope your MP goes well tomorrow and you can enjoy that taper!

I am still creeped out by your spider photo. I'll be happy next week when it doesn't pop up on your blog page :-)

From Chad on Fri, Sep 09, 2011 at 21:56:57 from 204.113.19.55

That's not a rest day.

From RAD on Fri, Sep 09, 2011 at 23:48:01 from 76.27.16.189

Burt, come on out and visit and you can see them live!

Nancy, I usually don't get tired swimming, but today I did. I was done!

QP, it's already making me nervous that I won't hit the paces right. hmmm, will this crazy butterfly feeling before a hard workout or race ever go away?

Oh, well I just read your Wed entry and keep feeling spider BITING me! :P

Chad, true...rest is relevant. To my legs it was a nice rest from 2 hrs of pounding :)

From Smooth on Fri, Sep 09, 2011 at 23:58:41 from 12.231.120.253

That is NOT rest! :) But very nice to prep yourself for a great race tomorrow! I will miss you. I am in Austin TX! :). Jimmer is with us! :)

Smooth,

Just saw an awesome picture of you. The life of the party - as usual! Enjoy the night life, and Jimmer :)

From Burt on Sat, Sep 10, 2011 at 01:10:27 from 72.223.91.148

No thanks. We have them here.

From RAD on Sat, Sep 10, 2011 at 18:51:08 from 76.27.16.189

okay...what about mtn lions, wanna see one of those live?

From Burt on Sat, Sep 10, 2011 at 19:54:31 from 72.223.91.148

I wanna see one dead.

From RAD on Sat, Sep 10, 2011 at 19:55:36 from 76.27.16.189

hmmm, let me see what I can do :)

From Chad on Sun, Sep 11, 2011 at 00:32:10 from 71.199.13.143

QP has a way of finding dead animals. Maybe she can help?

From The Quiet Pirate on Sun, Sep 11, 2011 at 13:23:45 from 65.191.243.172

Never fear... roadkill hunter is here!
