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.

Got my first walk in today. I may not win the award for miles this week...but maybe the earliest workout :) 

2 AM walk/meander around the circle and back...around the circle and back...for a good 30-40 minutes talking with my favorite running partner and listening to the dogs, airplanes, crickets, birds and trees. Beautiful full moon...I'm sure we'll be up for the eclipse tomorrow morning around 4:30 AM :) Good excuse for another early morning 'workout'!

that adam is one heck of a workout partner to go out with your crazy self at 2am! ;)

From The Quiet Pirate on Sat, Jun 26, 2010 at 21:25:45 from 65.191.108.72

I feel stupid that it took me too long to figure out who you were talking to at 2 am...I thought, geez RAD, which one of your running friends was up with you that early? Then I wondered if it was Lucy....then duhhh.... of course it's Adam.

Nice post partum workout for both of you. Enjoy the eclipse :-)

From Nancy on Sat, Jun 26, 2010 at 23:13:11 from 76.27.19.206

Wow you really must like not getting sleep. I'm glad Adam was there to walk with you. How is the baby?

From RAD on Sun, Jun 27, 2010 at 14:45:40 from 67.172.229.125

KP, maybe he's the one that's crazy and I've just had to go along with it all this time :)

QP, lol...yeah, that made me laugh :) Someone would have to be pretty crazy to get up and walk in circles with me at 2AM!

Nancy, the no sleep is killing me honestly, but you've gotta make the most of it...right? :)

From RivertonPaul on Sun, Jun 27, 2010 at 17:36:14 from 97.117.120.35

Ah, sleep.

From DonGardinero on Mon, Jun 28, 2010 at 12:47:24 from 75.162.182.133

Wow, you are getting right back into it after having a baby. Awesome. Congrats on the new baby.

From Toby on Mon, Jun 28, 2010 at 23:21:55 from 216.194.124.37

6 hours of SLEEP - I hope that was in one long stretch! Hope you are feeling ok!

From Tom Slick on Tue, Jun 29, 2010 at 09:53:06 from 168.179.157.36

I thought I was "nuts" getting up at 3:45am to run, but your getting up at 2:am just 4 days after giving birth. You got me, Hands down. Congrats on having that 19.5 inch youngster man!

From Kelli on Tue, Jun 29, 2010 at 14:43:05 from 71.219.99.30

Hey, I forgot to come and tell you yesterday, Heidi was back. So, all will be well when you make it back to the gym!

Congrats on the walk, I bet it felt great.

From Carolyn in Colorado on Tue, Jun 29, 2010 at 16:03:41 from 198.241.174.15

I always just walked around the living room. I didn't realize what I was missing. It's too late now.

From MrsFIT on Tue, Jun 29, 2010 at 16:04:24 from 98.202.0.57

The "dead of night" is my favorite time of the day, especially when I'm up the mountains camping.

From RAD on Tue, Jun 29, 2010 at 16:19:16 from 67.172.229.125

Toby- You make me laugh!! hahaha, those 6 hours were probably in one hour bits from 10PM to 9AM :)

Thanks all! He really is being a good baby and I'm getting more continuous sleep each night, so I can't really complain.

I'm also feeling good and we go on little walks (in the stroller and daylight!) every day to keep me sane.

Next week dad goes back to work, so my permanent 'holder' will be gone and I'm a little worried about what will happen then. ugghhh...I'm glad I still have a few more days with him home!
