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 year ago today I wasn't running...I was in the hospital having my sweet baby. Baby Fartlek is now ONE year old! Heaven help me, it went too fast and I still have 15 pounds to lose!

Quick gym workout while Nathan did swim lessons (Dad was home to take him, so I didn't have to break up my day today). 5 miles at AP 8:30 - if I would've been smart enough to figure it out before hand I would've pushed to go just under, dang. Progressive with first 2@8:57, then 8:41, 8:34 and the last one faster as I felt it to finish at 6:29. 

Then I did all my core/PT work and a good stretch and roll. Now it's off to baking and fun for birthday!

I can't believe it's been a whole year already. Time does fly. Happy Birthday to little Fartlek.

Wow it is hard to believe that it has been a whole year since you had baby fartlek. Time sure passes fast. Nice job with the run.

Thanks all. We've had a wonderful day! I may have to try to download and post pictures. Times goes WAY too fast lately. Sometimes I wish it would slow down a little so I can sit back and enjoy life.

Glad you got to sneak in a quick workout on a busy day.

Happy Birthday to that little one of yours.
