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 early morning with the BBK's. It is SO much easier to get up and run in the summer than the winter! Even if I still insist on staying up until 11:30 PM.

Luckily, the BBK's were just out for a nice easy run this morning. They are all running the Riverton 10K on Saturday, so I was actually able to almost keep up. Always a good thing in my book. I think only one person did the prescribed tempo run. Legs are still coming back, but I think I twisted my ankle on my Saturday run (stupid truck made me run on the dirt) and it keeps getting tender and swollen every day. No pain with running or walking, but tender and swollen. I tell ya...one injury to another this year!

AP: 9:06 splits: 9:31, 9:16, 8:53, 9:12, 9:00, 8:59, 8:38 (last 1/2)

Working early again this morning and I'm hoping her ride comes on time so I can go to yoga. If not, I might be a little ticked off! I really hope I have the energy and availability to get all the crap around the house done that has been on my list and not gotten done all week!

Are you going to run the Riverton 10K?

Take care of that ankle. I hope it recovers quickly.

Sometimes I wish I had a LBK here. NICE run. Hope you got your yoga in! What's your plan for the weekend?

Devine Miss M - this too will pass - no doubt, without Gwen, you will get healthy and be faster than ever, patience mamason.

Take it easy with that ankle.

I'm guessing yoga didn't happen. Good luck getting "all the crap around the house" done.

sorry about your ankle. just be careful that it doesn't turn into anything more serious! (i can't stress this enough) :)

From RAD on Fri, Jul 01, 2011 at 13:46:21 from 98.202.17.113

Carolyn, yes. I'm just going to run with bye-wing.

Smooth, you should start it! No yoga, but it wasn't all her fault. Decided to take the baby into the doc...long story, but he is 'perfectly fine' and no worrisome signs - blech! I hate it when that is the outcome!

Brent, my patience is wearing thin, but my legs are telling me to not push them. This is a hard balancing act for me right now.

Bye-wing, most of the crap got done - thanks to some help earlier in the week :)

Allie, oh I am. I've learned that lesson the hard way too. It just bugs me that it doesn't bother me when I run. I think the inserts in my shoes help to support the weak/injured tendon so it doesn't bug as much as opposed to when I'm barefoot/flip-flop footed around the house.
