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 big 'null' on the miles today - seriously, am I ever going to get enough sleep to feel better? I'm just dragging all day and when I do run I feel like I've got lead legs! How long does WBR pull the energy out of you?!? I did go to the gym and did a cardio/weights class, it was good but nothing hard or strenuous. I'm running the Herriman 10K tomorrow, with the way I'm feeling I'm hoping for an AP of 9mm! I'll go to bed early tonight and see how life is treating me in the morning.

Good Luck tomorrow. I hope those legs getting feeling better. Get lots of sleep and you will ROCK!

Devine Miss M - good luck tomorrow. It is tough to run back to back races. Although the WBR was a relay, from reading your report, you ran all three legs hard, thus, a race. Good luck, hope you recover, I'm running a 5K tomorrow, we will compare dead leg race reports.

I think it's worth it to get all the sleep, you're legs will definitely thank you for it. Good luck tomorrow!

It's a wise choice to get some sleep and rest those legs. You will do GREAT tomorrow. I'll bet you do much better than an AP of 9mm. Can't wait to read all about it. We need to get together sometime so you can show me some ITB exercises. THANKS for educating me! You're GREAT!!!! :)

Thanks all, I truly feel like I'm gonna need some divine intervention tomorrow! I'm seriously starting to wonder if I've got mono or something!! Everything seems SO arduous and overwhelming, even after a good nights sleep or nap!

Smooth, I'd love to help with the ITB stuff... I think its my new calling in life as a runner! On WBR my team would always tease me, because I could pick out those suffering ITBS along the way and I'd feel bad for them! I should've kept a tally of 'people I'm commiserating with that are suffering from ITBS' :)

Good luck tomorrow. Win for me okay? Blast up the hills and take some nodose (sp?), so you will have energy. I will be thinking of you.
