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 week of recovery...dang, I can't get out of this on/off taper cycle!!! :) Oh well, it was worth it. 

60 min on the spin bike, 30 min with a pro next to me talking about lots of fun and interesting stuff. Almost makes me want to be a biker :) almost.

10 min in the pool, then I called to the nursery for a poopy diaper. I only had 15 min left anyway, because I'd talked for the first 25-30 min I was at the gym (dumb, I know, but it was good). So, I just grabbed him and called it good. Did some stretching of the hammies as well, they are some tight mothers right now!

I want to be a biker just so I can wear the cool shirts that look like I am sponsored. :)

Devine - read your race report, you can make a fun day out of a million poopy diapers, always good to read about all your running buddies that you support.

Gotta love those biking cloths, I wear them to work once a week, even when I don't ride the bike to work. I am going to sleep in them tonight, dream the impossible drean, the dream is a secret.

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

Good to hear you are normal and need recovery time. Sometimes it seems like you wonder woman, just going and going. Hope you get enough rest over the weekend to get back on track and train like you want to.

By the way, I think about everyone looks good in biker shorts. Too bad regular pants can't make us look that good :)

Great job with the cross-training Rachel. I always waste time talking at the gym too. Dang me and my big mouth. :)
