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.

Mandatory sick day....

Yesterday about 11AM I picked baby up from a nap and he was HOT, uh oh... Well, nothing would really break the fever all day (even alternating meds) and the night was long and sleep was fickle. Finally a 2AM warm bath helped bring his temp down to 103.5... I think I finally slept restlessly from 3AM-7AM while he tossed and turned next to me in bed, but at least not crying or screaming.

Doctors appointment this morning (with a broken fever, thankfully!) revealed blisters on his throat: hand, foot and mouth disease. Nothing to do now but get fluids in and hope the fever doesn't come back. 24 hours from fever break he will no longer be contagious, now I just wonder about the rest of the household.

:( sad. Poor little Fart. That sickness and much more floats around the base here. A lot of adults are sick a lot of the time. I hope he feels better quickly and the rest of the family stays healthy.

Ugh!! Sick babies are the worst! Hope he gets better soon!!!

From Kam on Thu, Mar 08, 2012 at 15:09:25 from 68.66.163.179

The 2 worst things about sick babies are how sad they are, and the snot.

From Rachelle on Thu, Mar 08, 2012 at 16:12:14 from 159.212.71.200

I am so sorry Rachel. :( I hope he feels better soon.

From Kelli on Thu, Mar 08, 2012 at 16:59:45 from 71.219.85.126

OH NOT FUN!!! That is going around, I hear! It could be worse, you could no in shark infested waters with a hole in your boat, no food or water, and have Japanese airplanes shooting at you! ;o)

From Smooth on Thu, Mar 08, 2012 at 17:03:53 from 174.27.219.252

Oh I am so sorry! No wonder he didn't sleep well the other night...poor baby! I hope he gets feeling better quick and no one else in your household get it! More cuddling and reading time for you right?

From Nancy on Thu, Mar 08, 2012 at 17:13:02 from 76.23.21.118

I'm sorry you didn't get sleep. Several of my kids and grandkids have had that. Hope baby feels better and you get some sleep tonight.

Poor little kid, and poor mom. Well hopefully you can finish up the book. It is a good book, I had a hard time putting it down when I read it. I hope they make a movie out of it sometime.

Hope he is on the mend soon.

Becca, he is feeling better - fever is over anyway!

Carina, thanks. you always think once they sleep through the night you're good - ha!

Kam, thankfully little to no snot is involved, this time.

RAchelle, he is feeling better, now I just need some sleep!

Kelli, that made me laugh! you are right - it could be worse. Although I'm almost done reading about it :)

Smooth, the cuddling time is good, but I'm starting to resent the lack of sleeping time.

Nancy, I guess it goes around and there is really nothing you can do about it. I'm ready for a healthy house!

bye-wing, I think they'd have a hard time not making the movie rated R with all the violence. It really sheds new light on what a lot of people went through and why so many of the men felt the way they did.
