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.

I don't know if it was subconcious or what, but my alarm didn't get turned on last night...DANG!! I missed my run this morning, good thing I did wake up early enough to get ready to catch my flight. Thought about running tonight in WA, but I'm having a good time just visiting with relatives :) MUST wake up tomorrow for a run, but I'm a little weary of running in a strange town...afraid I'll end up in the bottom of some swamp or dumpster! Will miss the BBK's tomorrow, especially with a run close to home and hittin' the hills :)

I wondered if you had left since I did not get to talk to you on Tuesday---I did not know when you were leaving. Enjoy the family and i hope the funeral goes well. Be careful running!

Have a nice visit in WA.

I didn't know you were leaving town. Have an enjoyable visit with your family. Sorry about the funeral. You'll have to tell me about it when we run.

Devine Miss M - be safe, no dumpster diving or the swamp thing, don't run if you don't feel safe. If you have time check out the local running scene.

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

I missed you at running group. Whose funeral are you going to?

From Smooth on Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 19:00:38 from 71.36.87.147

Rachel,

When will you be home? Are you still planning on the Lehi JRP? Kelli is doing 16 as well. She needs to start at 6am. Tell me what you're planning. Have a safe trip home.

From RAD on Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 20:03:14 from 71.59.190.225

Smooth - if we need to go at 6, I'm good with that. I will be home Friday at about 4:30 - 5:00 PM.

I'm just here for a couple days...viewing and funeral and a little visit with the family (my Uncle passed away). I would've stayed longer, but Lauren has a piano recital Friday night that I'd like to try to get to :)
