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 walking morning. Took the walking stroller to keep me from thinking I need to run. It was a bit warmer out this morning, but nothing like noon :)

same 4 mile loop around the 'hood, but kept the pace up a bit. 14:46 AP and I tried to think about shorter strides and quicker turnover - if I can't run I might as well do something to keep my head in the game.

Started reading Bart Yasso's book yesterday - really liking it so far!

That is a nice little walking clip while pushing the stroller! No one knows how hard those things are to push until they do it!

i really enjoyed that book. he has had quite an adventurous life!

I'm glad you got your walk in. I've never read that book but maybe I should get it and take it with me camping this weekend.

Devine, 200 commando points, that is a fast walking pace pushing. Yasso 800s hey, have a story about Bart, you may have already heard this: He was the 3:10 pacer at SGM in 1995, ran with him several miles, his pacing group started back in the pack at the start, we lost 2 minutes, no chips then, so, he said we need to make up two minutes, he had us running 6:30s out of the shoot to make up the time, me and 4 other runners said heck, let him go, he will burn us out, Boston BQ will be a bust, our small pacing group passed all of Barts's group of 20, except him and two other runners, 4 out of the 5 of us were under 3:10, (ran a 3:07) Bart was not a good pacer, he ran a 3:03 and burnt out most the the group. I saw him at the Ogden Expo, and talked with him for a few minutes about the 1995 STG. No, I didn't remind him of burning out the group, just chit chat about the race. His book is good.

You're smart to take the walking stroller to keep yourself from running. You're really walking at a good clip though.

From Toby on Sat, Jul 17, 2010 at 22:55:47 from 216.194.124.37

Walking is harder than running - you really have to control yourself!

From Smooth on Mon, Jul 19, 2010 at 00:08:09 from 174.23.244.221

You exhibit superb self-control! I cannot walk that fast without pushing a stroller...NICE JOB!

Brent,

sorry life has been busy! I'll explain on today's entry. Oh, and I love the story about Bart. Simply goes to show you that everyone can learn something occasionally, even those we tend to put on a pedestal.

Thanks everyone for your comments. I don't feel like I'm walking that fast, must be the long legs :)
