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 was definately feeling a TON better today so I hit the gym for step class and then ran all I could easy after that. I still don't want to push things and get Rhumatic fever, it REALLY scares me. It was a great morning and now I'm off to do cleaning from the 'tornado' of the weekend!

It is so nice to have someone to chat with on the treadmill again. BUT, we are going to have to crank our miles up and run faster to get ready for Ogden---no more easy running and chatting for us!

RAD,

Way to get out there today. Keep chatting with Kelli all you can, maybe it will slow her down. JK. Ramp it up for Ogden!

I'm glad you're starting to feel better. I've had strepp throat a few times and it is miserable.

From RAD on Mon, Mar 30, 2009 at 23:50:12 from 67.166.99.8

Kelli - I completely agree about kickin' it up for Ogden. As you know I don't worry about time so much as just about finishing! But to get miles in at the gym you have to run faster to 'beat the clock' :)

Bec- I don't think ANYTHING can slow that lady down...she's an animal - but I'll try, I like it when she runs MY pace :)

Nancy- strep is yucky! I don't ever want it again!
