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 need a nap....

My hi-country loop is nothing to be messed with; however, today I taunted it and toyed with it as I ran half asleep and it chewed me up and spit me out! I probably should've chosen a different route for 6 because of the way I was feeling this morning, but I just had it in my head to do hi-country, so I did.

Running is like my morning coffee...gets me energized and going for the day, but today it has had a short term effect. Came home and got the kids off to picture day at school, went to yoga (definitely a highlight!) and now I've got 2 bazillion things to do around the house since I've been 'working' all week, but all I want to do is sleep...

Devine, nice work, Veyo on your mind? Way to win the mental battle. No doubt, you have hills after hills in your area.

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

From RAD on Thu, Aug 26, 2010 at 13:42:22 from 67.172.229.125

Brent, thanks. Unfortunately sleep was the only thing on my mind today, and yes there are many hills out here! My loop on Monday took me right by the reservoir, so you've now seen the heart of the hills :)

From Calvin on Thu, Aug 26, 2010 at 15:27:39 from 66.133.117.3

At least it's done and in the books. Sounds like a good and productive run to me. Nice job.

From Lily on Thu, Aug 26, 2010 at 15:37:53 from 67.199.181.73

I now grant you a nap. It is that time you know cutie :)

From Smooth on Thu, Aug 26, 2010 at 15:41:13 from 174.23.203.161

Hills for breakfast = Nap before lunch! :)

From Chad on Thu, Aug 26, 2010 at 16:11:26 from 168.177.153.171

You're human!?! With all you've done since the birth of baby Fartlek and how fast you came back I was beginning to think you were super-human. There may be hope for the rest of us. (I have to fight the nods every day before lunch.)

From Nancy on Thu, Aug 26, 2010 at 18:00:33 from 76.27.19.206

Good job running even when you are half asleep. I got a nap today and was very glad because I woke up at 3:30 and didn't get back to sleep.

From Kelli on Thu, Aug 26, 2010 at 18:34:41 from 71.219.102.155

Running makes me tired.....what is wrong with me????

From Tom Slick on Thu, Aug 26, 2010 at 19:45:47 from 69.171.174.253

Go take a nap and get ready for tomorrow morning.

From calliej on Fri, Aug 27, 2010 at 00:14:10 from 97.126.139.129

Hope you got your nap!!! Way to run even when you are so tired!! I'm not that disciplined, :)

From KP on Fri, Aug 27, 2010 at 08:42:25 from 65.208.22.25

way to get it done. i see that you are running with allie. THE ALLIE. i am uber jealous! i hope you girls have fun. you'll definitely be getting some speed work in with her! i don't think i could rollerblade fast enough to keep up with y'all.

From The Quiet Pirate on Fri, Aug 27, 2010 at 10:12:19 from 152.26.59.252

Some days, morning naps are a necessity. I found just 15 minutes of rest will get me back on my feet when I have days like that.

Nice running on that monster hill route!

From Scott Wesemann on Fri, Aug 27, 2010 at 12:06:32 from 66.239.250.209

I hope you got a nap in there at some point.

From RAD on Fri, Aug 27, 2010 at 14:23:31 from 67.172.229.125

Cal, I guess in my mind I figured hills are speed work in disguise, so since I didn't have any speed to push I'd try the hills, and well, I kept moving. That's about all I can say!

Lily, I probably was taking a nap when you wrote that :) so, thank you!

Smooth, hmmm, I feel a new t-shirt coming on :)

Chad, moms are superhuman :) We have to be or nothing would ever get done! Hopefully next week I'll be back sans the kryptonite (but I'll probably still be taking afternoon naps!)

Nancy, wow...I was up at 3:30, but I got to go back to bed. Sleep may have been interrupted a few times after that, but YIKES! I don't know how you do it!

Kelli, maybe you should run at night so you can sleep after-wards :)

Slick, done and done!

Callie, it's sgm motivating me right now, or I'd probably be still sleeping every day!

KP, I'm very excited! Poor Allie will have to be tortured with a horribly slow pace, but I'll try to make it fun for her :)

QP, 25 minutes was all I got around noon (and the last 10 min was with waking baby and putting the pacifier back in every other minute), but it did really help at least get me through the day.

Scott, I certainly did - and it was heaven to sleep in today!
