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.

Kids off track so I got to sleep in till I felt darn stinkin' ready to get up - or was too scared about what the kids were doing unsupervised :)

Elliptical 20 min @ L10 -1.5 miles 180 calories

PT stuff, bosu ball (bi, tri, shoulders, raises, abs, single leg squats), 20 push-ups (girly ones), 60 crunches, 7 chin ups (assisted).

repeated 2 more times (1.6 miles on the last elliptical set)

total of 60 minutes & 4.6 miles on the elliptical - I'm really getting sick of this machine!! I almost ran today - heaven help me I'm going crazy not being able to run. I wish my hip would heal already! No ITB issues today thank goodness!!!

I'd imgaine that pregnancy isn't the time to push your bones and tendons since they are most prone to calicium depletion and hormonal softening to prepare for birthing. You are doing great keeping fit while you are pregnant. Consider it downtime for the ol' ITB and hip. I hope you can watch TV or a movie, or read something good while you're on the machines! Congrats on the extra sleep. Here's the deal, you sleep extra for me, and I'll ski a little for you :)

Thanks Luz, I know I shouldn't be pushing anything and it's the only thing keeping me on the elliptical and bike and NOT running. I just miss it like crazy!! I just want the SF to heal so I can run just 3 miles a day...just 3!

I'm trying to stay entertained on the machines, but it's just like a TM or track after a while...just boring.

I'll take your offer on the sleep/ski exchange :) I am going to venture onto the slopes with my little ones in a couple weeks. They ski slow and only greens, so I'm not too worried. If I had to try and keep up with my hubby THAT might be dangerous :)

Hey, a day with no ITB pain is a good day.

Hang in there! I can't believe how you're xtraining like crazy!

From Michelle on Tue, Jan 26, 2010 at 09:43:07 from 174.29.77.117

Yeah for no pain today! I love when I can sleep in and the kids leave me alone for awhile. It doesn't seem to happen very often. Keep up the good work.
