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.

First Saturday of the month = 90 min spin class!! YEA!! I LOVE it!

Only got there early enough for 1/2 mile before class (I do love sleep!), so I did a few laps around the track, then got my spin on for 1.5 hrs. It really was a good class, I look forward to it each month and wish they'd do it every Sat as at least an option to class. I finished up with another 1/2 mile on the track after class. 

I promised Hubby I'd get home ASAP so that he could go rock climbing since he missed it due to weather last Sat on his birthday (belaying and rock climbing are a few things I'm NOT allowed to do now). After I got home I had the neighbor keep an eye on the kids while I ran the regular 'ol 5K route around the 'hood. I felt really good and strong, but didn't wear my garmin because I didn't want to feel pressure to run fast. Now I wish I would've - I think I would've hit some good paces! I took Lucy (my puppy) with me and she couldn't keep up with me during the last mile. I had to keep calling her to keep up - it could've been the warmer weather too, but I'll take a 'win' anyway I can get it :)

Then I got stuck with yard work again this week - next week I'm NOT doing it! Plus, it make the neighbors nervous, they always say "be careful - I don't know what to do if you go into labor!" :) Then it was off to Thanksgiving Point for the kids to run and play in the gardens, came home dropped off my 'work' and went to a pool party for a HS graduate, got home went next door for a backyard birthday party and I'm finally getting to sit down. *WHEW* These next two weeks until baby comes are going to go WAY too fast if this keeps up. I need more time to get baby prep done!

I don't think I've ever heard anyone complain about the last weeks of a pregnancy going too fast. You are amazing.
