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 up early to run, because I wanted to do yoga for gym time. I'm getting more used to the no sleep and getting up was easier, even though I still hit snooze and it seemed like wandering around as I got ready. Planned on a 7 mile run, but ran out of time before I even left. I knew I'd be able to get 5 in though, so I stayed steady in my 5/day. 

It was holy cold this morning. I swear every fat cell in my thighs and butt were frozen solid!! I thought for sure if you took a hammer to them they would shatter (wishful thinking, I guess). It's a lot harder to run in the cold than I remembered, what I thought was a normal sub 9 pace came out to be more like a 9:30 - kind of disappointing, but I was out and running! It did make me a little nervous that Painter's is going to be a disaster, but oh well - time and season, right?

AP: 9:04 splits: 9:49, 8:48, 8:31, 8:52, 9:19

yoga afterward and then 30 min on the recumbent bike to read and finish out day care time.

I'm glad you were able to get out in the freezing cold to run. It was pretty cold when I ran but I did warm up after a couple of miles.

You are funny!

I'm sure you will do great at Painters. SG is a magical place! :)

Yeah, don't worry about your time at Painter's. It's just a fun little getaway from the cold and misery up here. Plus, you get to run with friends, what could be better?

Way to get out!
