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 just tired this morning. However, I got up and out and off to the gym! I did the bootcamp class and it kicked my trash. Hip flexor is marginally better (I can almost walk normal on it) and so I was ready to run, but when I was done with class every time I stood up I felt like I was going to fall over...so I opted for the recumbent bike instead. 4.5 miles at 3 resistance in 20 minutes. Running tomorrow!

as per requested - tissue count at the gym today: 5! Snot factory is still up and running :) You know that feeling just before you sneeze and your eyes water...I've had that feeling constantly for the last 15-16 hours!

Loving Christmas Miracles!! One of mine this year is zofran. What are yours?

Oh, don't fall over!

Good job on the snot count.

My Christmas miracle is that Michelle joined the blog!

You crack me up lady. Christmas miracles? One for me will be when my dance concert is OVER!!

Sometimes I run on an inside track and there is usually a boot camp taking place in the gym below. It looks pretty brutal, good job getting out the door and going. My Christmas miracle is that I just got all of my packages mailed and now I can relax. I hope you are able to run ok tomorrow.

Carolyn, I'm glad Michelle joined too! Always fun to expand the circle of running friends!

Lori, thanks - I'm hoping it will come down soon.

Becca, trust me ... most of the parents feel that way too :)

Michelle, I hope the post office was good to you! Tomorrow is looking good...Very good!!

oh, and just for clarification...zofran is the drug that keeps me from throwing up every couple hours. Still don't want certain foods and am nauseated, but at least it's tolerable!!
