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 think all week my life is just going to be crazy busy and turned on its head. 

Met the BBK's for miles this morning and was brave enough to get up at 4:30 to make the 5:15 early miles...sooooo tired.....

Garmin had turned itself on yesterday and as such was out of batteries when I tried to turn it on this morning - STINK. Oh well, I guess  I needed a garminless run. However, the way I've been running lately I really don't care about pace, just getting the miles in.

Did a 3 mile warm up and was SO happy Kelli came this morning. I love that girl. For the workout they were doing a 4 mile tempo and then hills. Shimelle and I decided that after the first 4 mile loop we'd be the dissenters and just continue on and complete one more loop instead of hills. That was enough for both of us.

Pretty uneventful run, just got there had a good visit with a few people, got the miles in and got out. Working again this morning and then I'm off for an out and back to Logan. Feel like I'm in Allie's commute-a-thon days! :) It's worth it though for $10 Lagoon tickets.

Great job getting up early. Sometimes it's a nice break when the garmin isn't working.

Nice work getting up so early. You beat me out of bed by 20 minutes. :) You have been working hard lately. Awesome!

when are you going to Lagoon? I'll be there Friday.

Nine miles Rache. My tendon is still very tight. I am planning to run on Saturday. *HOPEFULLY*

Where do you get $10 Lagoon tickets?

From Kelli on Tue, Jul 12, 2011 at 17:39:24 from 71.219.75.108

So you decided on the drive to Logan! I hope you stopped and one of the many great pizza places there for food!

Thanks for running the 3.14 with me (ever little bit counts!) You two should not have dissented so early, you could have joined us other dissenters and run barefoot up the grass mountain!! It was kinda fun!

Have a great day. See you THURSDAY? I am gonna be too tired for their workout I bet, so some dissenting will be in order. But, then again, I am so bad at being a pusher.

From Kelli on Tue, Jul 12, 2011 at 17:39:47 from 71.219.75.108

OH, and thanks for loving me. Someone has to do it.

From Lily on Tue, Jul 12, 2011 at 19:00:37 from 67.199.178.210

I think your workouts sounds like a great social time. You are a lucky gal!

RHPC on Sat? yay!

From Nancy on Tue, Jul 12, 2011 at 20:21:47 from 76.23.21.118

It was good to see you this morning. Good luck with all your running around.

Terri, I'm in such a bad slump lately I could care less about pace, but the miles thing bugs me. Gotta know how far.

Scott, tomorrow will be Lagoon day which is why I couldn't wait for tickets to come in the mail and had to drive 100+ miles to get them :)

Becca...grrrr! :(

Carolyn, you get special perks when your family works there!

Kelli, just did a sandwich shop so that I could eat on the go and it's easier for baby to eat. Aww shoot! I was going to go back and see what the plan was, but Michelle was my Garmin. Couldn't run too many miles! :) I hope I can get my butt out of bed on Thursday AM to join you! BUT, I know I will only do the main workout. How could I now love my runnin' mama?!?

Lily, yeah, probably more jaw workout than running this morning! :) I will be there Sat!!

Nancy, it was great to see you too! We'll have to join together on a dissenting run :)
