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.

Alarm went off at 6 so I could get my 7 mile loop in this morning. I decided to snooze just another 4 minutes. Ooops! I must've turned it off, because next thing I remember is hubby getting up to get ready and leave for work. I guess I must've needed the sleep.

Got kids up, fed and out for the first day of school for my 1st grader and 2nd day for my 4th grader - then off to the gym. Hoping that baby will do well again in day care.

Did total body conditioning class and I sure am sore - especially the core from ab's yesterday! Then I checked on baby Fartlek and it was so sweet! The day care worker was holding him and just looking at him so lovingly sweet :) I was happy he was doing well and drifting off...so I decided to hit the TM.

3.5 miles in 30 minutes so about an AP of 8:35. I started at a 9:13 mm the first mile 8:57 the next mile and they both felt WONDERFUL! Easy and just plugging along, even caught a drink without stopping. Feels good to be able to run again and not feel so tired and heavy all the time. The last mile I just kept increasing the speed every tenth and ended the last .1 at 7:30 mm.

I think it was good to sleep in this morning, because yesterday I felt exhausted and grumpy all afternoon. I needed to do a little less and sleep a little more today, hopefully that will help my overall mood for the day!

It sounds like you got the best of both worlds (sleeping in and workoug out) today.

From Nancy on Tue, Jul 27, 2010 at 18:24:37 from 76.27.19.206

I think you made a good decision to sleep in. You are really getting into shape fast.
