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.

Another 4 with Sandra, I really love running with someone in the mornings! I wish the quad was feeling better, but it's only marginal at this point and still tender at times.

Now I'm off to yoga, if anything can help it's yoga!

Magical, Mystical Yoga!

Running buddies are great for getting you out the door.

QP, the magic has sunk in - feeling better already :)

Carolyn, I don't know what I would do without her dragging me out of bed!

From LuzyLew on Thu, Mar 31, 2011 at 18:09:07 from 208.187.197.42

what's up with the quad? I had a weird quad injury that lasted a few months two years ago. I hope it's not still causing you trouble....

I'm glad you only do 4 when you have a sore quad.

From RAD on Thu, Mar 31, 2011 at 20:27:37 from 98.202.17.113

Luz, it's my upper quad, lower than the groin, but not much. I think it's just a muscle strain so I'm trying to give it a bit of a break and heal well as I start my ramp up to UVM.

Nancy, I wanted to go out for more today, but kept myself from doing so!

From Burt on Thu, Mar 31, 2011 at 21:03:54 from 206.19.214.144

Or maybe some acupuncture.

From Terri on Thu, Mar 31, 2011 at 21:10:30 from 96.231.237.164

Sounds like your new gym is working out. Hope your quad works its way out too.

Maybe you need some yoda along with your yoga... a star wars marathon with popcorn sounds like a great rest day to me!

From RAD on Fri, Apr 01, 2011 at 15:55:21 from 98.202.17.113

Burt, you bring the needles!

Terri, it is on it's way!

QP, mmmm, popcorn! The only thing better would be some mac and cheese.

How's the leg now? Sorry to hear that you're off par, but you're so smart to try and take it easy. Glad you got some good leisure time in! :)

From RAD on Fri, Apr 01, 2011 at 16:56:28 from 98.202.17.113

Brooke, today I would say it's about 60-70% better than the first of the week. I'm going to try a long run tomorrow - for better or worse :)
