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.

Last run :)

Took Lucy to relax and enjoy myself and not go too fast. I was dragging the poor girl home the last downhill stretch that I wanted to pick up for fun. She is only used to 2 miles :)

Massage this afternoon to pull all the built up crap out of my legs and then I'm just waiting, waiting, waiting for Saturday. I'm SO excited, I just can't wait!! If ANYTHING goes wrong, you'd better just be ready to hear it from me. I'm not taking any excuses this time - I'm gonna do this! Watch out baby...I'll see YOU in Boston :)

AP: 8:45 splits: 8:32, 9:08; 8:35 - finished the last 1/3 in the low 6's, felt good! but Lucy almost got road rash from being drug so far. Poor middle aged girl.

Go RAD Go! Tomorrow is your big day. Sounds like you are more than ready. Lucy will probably enjoy the day off.

After the race is over, you can come back home and Work on your other hobby "computer" :) as you give us all the fantastic details of how you qualified for BOSTON!

Go RAD Go!

Does Ogden have Athlete tracking? I was planning to come up and watch but got talked in babysitting and I am going to be going crazy wondering how everyone does.

From Lulu Walls on Fri, May 18, 2012 at 11:16:56 from 155.100.212.98

Good luck in Ogden. I am sure you will do amazing :)
