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.

Does standing in a line OUTSIDE Toys R Us in 20 degree weather for two hours then walking around Wal-Mart for 2.5 hours and standing in line for another hour to check out count as blogging for my exercise today?

Got home at 6 AM after being up for 23 hours and finally slept...not sure it was really worth it!

You are a braver soul than I am. Get some rest, my dear.

From Lysa on Fri, Nov 27, 2009 at 15:54:50 from 174.52.15.101

Yes that counts for a few days I say, you are brave, I have no desire to ever shop black friday...May I ask why you walked the Ctwd Heights trot yesterday rather than run?? Just wondering...wait, never mind I just read that you are pregnant, Congratulations and good job doing it anyway!! I know thats tough mentally to not run but worth it.

Carolyn, it's been a nice lazy day!

Lysa, yes it's due to the pregnancy. I've been grounded now for a week...hopefully when I see the doc on Tuesday I'll be released and able to run again!

Dang girl! That's worth something! Have you been benched from all activity? We might need to arrange some biking events. It's pay back time lady. I sit in the seat, you pedal! JK Let me know if there is some form of exercise I can tag along with you.

And I thought I was crazy for going to Walmart at 4am. But I did get some good deals.

From RAD on Sun, Nov 29, 2009 at 20:58:29 from 76.27.12.70

Becca, no just 'pounding' things (running, jumping etc) I just have NO energy lately and the nausea doesn't help. So I'm being lazy. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to do a bike ride with you sometime...and you can even sit in the baby seat :)

Nancy, gotta love the good deals! :)

You get the medal for being the most motivated shopper. It's a rat race on Friday morning, isn't it?
