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.

Total Distance

Last week was a big fat goose-egg on running miles for me! The good news: I really don't think this week will be. The leg is really starting to feel better and there are even times of the day that I don't feel the pain. THAT is a huge accomplishment for this leg lately. I think I'm going to try some test miles Wednesday morning if healing continues on this way.

Got up and out early again, it really makes a difference in my mood when I do this. Went to the gym, but was a little late so I only got 45 min on the bike before I had to be home. 14 miles @ L7 resistance.

Kids are back on track today, so got them off to school then went back to the gym for another set. 45 min on the elliptical 4.5 miles@ L10 resistance. Then ran right into ab's class - she kept me sweating for the next 30 minutes. I was going to finish up my last 15 min on the bike, but baby filled his diaper and so my plans had to change.

My husband is starting p90X tonight, I told him I'd do it with him...this should be interesting...

I was too caught up in my own goose egg, I didn't see your goose egg last week. But I'm guessing that you worked out at the gym like today even if you didn't run. So that's not a goose egg as far as I'm concerned.

Good luck with P90X.

Thanks Carolyn, you are right - cross training every day to keep the cardio for the full coming up with QP.

From The Quiet Pirate on Mon, Oct 18, 2010 at 15:12:06 from 152.26.59.252

RADster- Glad the leg is improving. Will you be posting your P90X photo results like Burt? At least you won't have to wax!!

From RAD on Mon, Oct 18, 2010 at 15:30:35 from 67.172.229.125

hahaha...you're SO funny! I won't even be taking pictures, but thanks for the offer :)

From Toby on Mon, Oct 18, 2010 at 15:56:08 from 66.133.97.196

RAD - you are a rock star in my book! Everyday you are bustin' your hiney at the gym! I want pictures too of the p90x success :)

From RAD on Mon, Oct 18, 2010 at 15:59:14 from 67.172.229.125

Toby, so sorry - NO pictures of me! If y'all remember...I had a baby 4 months ago. I'm still packing a good extra 20 pounds! So, I'm letting hubby have his own journey this time :) Maybe in a year when I've worked off all of baby I'll be brave like Burt! Hubby will probably be ready to do it again by then :)

From Burt on Mon, Oct 18, 2010 at 16:04:39 from 206.19.214.144

RAD!! You have to do pictures!!! That's what it's all about! And I don't believe that you won't have to wax. Whatever QP.

First, that picture is soo cute. I haven't commented on your blog for so long! Second, my husband and I did P90X beginning last November and we were totally faithful. Great changes for my hubby as for me, my thighs increased an inch. I was bummed so I quit doing the thigh wrkt (#5, I think) I enjoyed it so much. My abd are always sore after #1. So have tons of fun with it and I recommending taking pictures, its fun to see the changes !

Even if you are not running your cross training is giving you a hard workout. I'm glad you leg is almost better. I did P90X with my daughter a couple of years ago and it is really a hard workout.

From Scott Wesemann on Tue, Oct 19, 2010 at 02:44:59 from 75.165.249.90

Great workout today Rad. I'll be interested to see how you like P90X. My wife is thinking about starting up soon.

Good luck with the darn leg.

From KP on Tue, Oct 19, 2010 at 11:36:15 from 65.208.22.25

please post P90x updates (complete with pics) like burt did!

From RAD on Tue, Oct 19, 2010 at 14:21:45 from 67.172.229.125

Burt, I'm just being a supportive wife and doing it with my husband HE took pictures, but there is NO way I will!

Mac, the thighs are the one place I DONT need any increase, I'll have to watch out for that one.

Nancy, I swear I'm the last person on the planet to DO p90x!

Scott, thanks - and after yesterdays workout I'd say she should go for it. I think you'd probably enjoy it too.

KP, Sorry, there is NO way I'm giving into peer pressure to do pictures! I'm not even taking them just for me...nope, I don't need to see it any more than I have to.

glad the leg is doing better.
