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.

Just an easy little jaunt on the bike this morning with a friend that is trying to get used to biking and get some more miles under her belt before conquering busy roads. 

Nothing more now until tomorrow...then, lets hope I can FLY - without my cape this time :)

I am totally thinking bungee chord this time around.

Good job on the taper Rachel, you make me proud!

I am biking 13 miles with a friend tonight and I am scared to death. I have zero cordination when it comes to biking. Hopefully I live to see you at AF half. :)

Devine, how did the open water go? Hey, crossing training miles count.

Biking rules of the road, stay a bike length behind your fellow biker, wear something brite, always let the experienced biker lead. Safety over speed, slow down if you don't feel in control.

Last rool of the road, ride uphill, get some quad bang for your effort. Hills are the real fitness maker for the bike, same as running.

Another rachel rachel, little devine?

Want to run a good run leg on a Tri or increase your speed running the hills, become a superior biker, you quads may ocmplain, but it pays big time.

Devine, are you going to blog for cat on the move, give me the scoop on her Shark attack?

Chad, bungee cord plan = success! :)

Rachelle, biking is really nerve racking to me! I don't like the traffic. But, it gets easier the more you do it.

Brent, I think (so far) I'm following the rools nicely. I need to bang those quads on the bike more. I struggle on hills, well I'm usually front of the mid pack. so, not too bad...but I want more :) Open water at Blackridge is GREAT! I did 5 laps of the res and the wetsuit is getting more and more usage, but still not easy to get on!!

Brent, she did great. new bike, I made her run up the hill (yelling from the top) and she put it all on the line! Her 10 min PR in the half today was impressive as well. She doesn't have access to internet where she is staying, so blogging doesn't get done much :(
