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.

The most good, clean running fun you can have running. It was crowded at the beginning and we spent the first .25 mile walking, because you couldn't hardly move due to the tight traffic after the start line. 

I had a wonderful time pacing Julie to an 11 minute PR! I love to be with others as they conquer their running goals. 

I will write more tomorrow, it's been a crazy day with hardly a moment to breathe. Becca and I ran back to the cars from the finish and that was almost as fun as the race itself! :) Got to have good fun times with SO many bloggers...I'm off to bed, more tomorrow after an early morning and a nap!

Good running there Rachel! It looks like your cross training has kept you in good form. Nice of you to pace your Julie to a PR, that's awesome.

(I looked for you on the course, but didn't ever spot you.)

It's always nice to have a friend to run with. Not a bad time, either!
