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.

Total Distance

3.30

I need new shoes, but I'm too cheap to go buy/get some. I need a new style that will have better cushioning for a 'heavier' runner (since I'm running for 2 now :) )

Did a shorter workout at the gym today, playing volleyball tonight and I need some fuel left in the tank.

60 min on the TM 5 min on 5 min off. Walking was at 6% grade at 3.7 mph and running was at a 9:05mm pace. Felt good, and went quickly because I had Kelli to talk to! Oh how I miss my long Saturday runs with running friends! I can't wait to get back at it!

3.3 miles, way awesome!

From RivertonPaul on Mon, Mar 15, 2010 at 18:42:40 from 67.42.27.114

Nice job. Now is a good time to work on good form since you are not so concerned with speed, especially since your stride will change anyway to compensate for baby.

From Smooth on Mon, Mar 15, 2010 at 18:47:55 from 174.23.198.220

Rachel you are doing so good with the running for 2. Paul is so wise! GOOD LUCK with shopping for new shoes!

From RAD on Mon, Mar 15, 2010 at 19:25:25 from 67.172.229.125

Thanks Cal - I never thought I'd be so proud of going over 3 miles :)

Paul - on the track Saturday I actually had that thought cross my head more than once. Especially with my ITB issues, form is a good thing right now - since speed will destroy me :)

Smooth - Thanks! I just need some motivation to get out of the house and spend money...with 2 kids in tow!

From Kelli on Mon, Mar 15, 2010 at 19:49:20 from 71.219.89.82

So, so, so glad you were there again to talk me through my long Monday treadmill run. I do not know what I would do without you!! And you did great with the running, you were not taking it at an easy pace for having had so much OFF time!

From Emily on Mon, Mar 15, 2010 at 23:30:11 from 71.219.137.145

I agree with Kelli! AMAZING pace for having taken so much time off. Great workout today and I hope you had fun playing volleyball!

From Carolyn in Colorado on Mon, Mar 15, 2010 at 23:47:25 from 24.8.167.243

You're really doing a great job of getting back at it.

From RAD on Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 01:13:45 from 67.172.229.125

Kelli, thanks for running inside so I don't want to poke my eyes out on the TM! :) Of course, as found today - I still won't run at a 5% incline :)

Emily, volleyball was GREAT! Fun times and a ton of people I played w/in HS play in the league - mini reunion :) We just all wish the coach didn't play as well! She was/is kind of creepy :)

Carolyn, thanks! Can't wait to get out, really wish I could catch you in Moab this weekend! We'll be there in a month or so - I hope you enjoy it!

From Michelle on Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 09:50:41 from 97.118.13.58

3.3 is awesome! You are doing great at coming back. Good luck getting new shoes. I understand about hauling kids around just to spend money, sometimes it just doesn't seem worth it.

From Brent on Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 14:01:14 from 168.178.30.194

Devine Miss M - crazy fun Milly day hey, nice work.

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

From Toby on Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 15:59:07 from 216.194.124.36

3.3 is SO far! :) Jealously speaking of course!

From RAD on Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 18:44:47 from 67.172.229.125

Michelle, stinks - had to drive by the shoe store today and not stop :(

Brent, reviving my relationship with Milly is nice!

Toby, I understand, it's funny how it seems like 20 miles now!

From calliej on Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 11:45:33 from 97.126.141.220

Glad your come back is going so well. I completely understand having to have your groupies with you. It doesn't make shopping very fun! Good luck finding your shoes. :)

From cheryl on Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 11:58:48 from 67.166.68.69

It just occurred to me that I forgot to add you to the e-mail this week. (You realize I'm getting a little old and sometimes my memory doesn't work right.) I will get you back on next week for sure!

From Nancy on Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 17:08:24 from 76.27.19.206

You run faster running for two than I can run by myself. I think your baby is going to come out doing jumping jacks.

From RAD on Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 18:23:42 from 67.172.229.125

Callie, I didn't get to stop yesterday because I had been in training and had to get home to GET the clan. Can't win either way lately!

Cheryl, no worries. I think not next week, but the next I will come back! YAY!

Nancy, that made me laugh! I had a lady at spin last week tell me he was going to come out riding a bike :) I'm honestly a bit afraid that I'll make him used to being bounced around for hours at a time - and I'll end up doing it with him in my arms :)
