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.

Good rest last night...off to the gym for 'rest/recovery' day before long run tomorrow.

90 minutes of walking on the TM on 10% grade @ 3mph. Total of 4.5 miles, and some GREAT company the whole time. 

All right, so here is my invitation: I want to do 10-12 on Porter Rockwell tomorrow at 7AM, is anyone interested in meeting me and shuffling along with the slow pregnant woman? I'd really enjoy some company :)

I hope you enjoy your rest/recovery day today and good luck with your 10/12 tomorrow. If we lived by each other we could shuffle along together!

From Smooth on Fri, Apr 09, 2010 at 14:31:40 from 174.23.201.210

That's a GIANT hill you walked up, 10%, yikes! Good recovery day!

I think I can make it tomorrow. Have to check w/ hubby; but I think he's planning on yard work which he knows I won't do! Same Draper City Park at 7am?

From RAD on Fri, Apr 09, 2010 at 14:41:11 from 67.172.229.125

Michelle, if you're coming to SLC - COME!! It will be SO fun! Group Sat runs aren't just runs around here, they are PARTIES!!

Smooth, yes! Same 'ol park, different day at 7AM. I have baptisms at 10, so I have to be done early - or I'd make it later, I like sleep :) I can't wait to see you, it's been forever!

From leslie peterson on Fri, Apr 09, 2010 at 15:09:33 from 174.52.158.81

Oh good! I am going to plan on being there at 7:00am. I have to double check with Harold, but I am pretty sure it is a go, if he isn't up for it, I will try and come alone.

From KP on Fri, Apr 09, 2010 at 17:17:19 from 65.208.22.26

Okay, I am a young, perfectly healthy person and in no way could I walk for an hour at a 10% incline. You are pregnant and kick my butt everyday. Sigh... When I grow up I want to be like RAD!

Awesome, awesome, awesome job!

From RAD on Fri, Apr 09, 2010 at 17:22:32 from 67.172.229.125

Leslie, can't wait to see you! I'll try to not slow you down!!

KP, Some days I think I'm crazy, but then I just remember how horribly addicted I am to the endorphins I get. Or maybe it's just the guilt from the BAGS of candy I ate yesterday!

From Kelli on Fri, Apr 09, 2010 at 18:18:54 from 71.219.92.128

Man, good company and all....but I am going to pass and sleep in (or at least try!) I am so tired. I will be out running at 9! However, IF I just happen to be awake, I am coming!

HAVE FUN LADIES!

From RAD on Fri, Apr 09, 2010 at 18:30:09 from 67.172.229.125

Kelli, we will miss you, but I know you need sleep!! You know we'll have a nice easy run with treats waiting for you if you decide to come - or maybe I'll just bribe Scott to snore and keep you up all night :)

From KP on Fri, Apr 09, 2010 at 18:36:35 from 65.208.22.26

Treats?!?!? I'm catching a plane from HSV to SLC right now!!!

From Kelli on Fri, Apr 09, 2010 at 18:55:04 from 71.219.92.128

WHAT are the treats???? You know treats get me anywhere!

From RAD on Fri, Apr 09, 2010 at 22:43:36 from 67.172.229.125

I'm going to bring oranges, chocolate milk and mini muffins :) Interested?

From leslie peterson on Fri, Apr 09, 2010 at 23:19:15 from 174.52.158.81

Oh treats, I am going to pass, this diet is killing me, I hope you are okay with not bringing anything. I have to be a Nazi diet girl tomorrow, what a kill joy I am!

From leslie peterson on Fri, Apr 09, 2010 at 23:22:11 from 174.52.158.81

I meant to say, I am not bringing anything. I am dizzy from not eating..... can't think.... need food... but am determined to do this!!! See you in the morning, Harold is not coming so it is just me. Can't wait to see you all!

From Carolyn in Colorado on Sat, Apr 10, 2010 at 00:01:12 from 24.8.167.243

How do you manage to walk up hill so long on a treadmill? You must have had some really awesome company.

From RAD on Sat, Apr 10, 2010 at 00:07:12 from 67.172.229.125

Leslie, I will have some of the best oranges! Muffins and chocolate for those of us eating for two...oranges for all the good kids! :) Maurine is coming for a few too, right?

Carolyn, the company was the BEST! I had my 4 favorite groups of people in and out during my 90 minutes. Kept me occupied! I only had about 5 minutes left alone at the end, otherwise I wouldn't have made it.

From Kelli on Sat, Apr 10, 2010 at 00:52:32 from 71.219.92.128

OH, I was a favorite people!! And I technically dropped in 3 times for a chat!

I just ate PIZZA (that darn place in the district is GOOD) and ice cream and licorice and orange rolls....so food is not sounding all that great right now! BUT I know your oranges will be delish...where or where is the fruit man?????

From RAD on Sat, Apr 10, 2010 at 13:55:42 from 67.172.229.125

Kelli, when are you NOT favorite people? Blame the pizza on the gym and Good Things Utah! We did pizza too, but I only got Papa Murphys. I will bring you oranges if I drop by at 1:00 :) AND send the fruit man over next time I see him.
