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.

More improvement - I can go down stairs without holding on to the hand rails, it's been quite some time since I've been able to do that. There is still a bit of pain, so I'm holding off on the run until I can get a NO pain day, but I'm seeing a light at the end of the tunnel.

I also actually got up early today (something else I haven't done in a while) and went to the gym to get the bike done. 60 min @ L6 - 16 total miles after a short cooldown.

Came home got the kids up and fed then went back for boot camp (I need some resistance work!). Didn't do jumping jacks or shuffling across the floor due to worries about pain and making things worse. Good work out either way!

Now I'm babysitting and being mom for the rest of the day - too bad injury can't help me take a break from that :)

You must be bored.

From RAD on Wed, Oct 13, 2010 at 13:27:05 from 67.172.229.125

aren't I always?

From Burt on Wed, Oct 13, 2010 at 13:32:51 from 206.19.214.144

Yeah.

"So what happens, this guy tricks some sucker into paying for his check and gets away with it scotch free?"

"No, in the movie they catch up with him a half-mile down the road and slit his throat. It was a good one."

Samsonite! I was way off.

....our pets heads falling off

Duh! We're in the rockies!

*a bit of trivia* The scene at the picnic table in the snow by a lake? I watched them film that up Millcreek canyon here in Utah. It was the middle of summer and they'd put batting type material all around the lake and done other crazy things to make it look like winter. It was a good one.

You've got to try this Harry! It feels like you're running at an incredible rate!

From KP on Wed, Oct 13, 2010 at 13:52:59 from 65.208.22.25

i'm proud of you for taking time off!

From Burt on Wed, Oct 13, 2010 at 13:53:29 from 206.19.214.144

I expected the Rockies to be a little rockier than this.

That John Denver is full of ...

life is a fragile thing, har. one minute you're chewin' on a burger, the next minute you're dead meat.

according to the map we've only gone 4 inches.

Hey, chicks love it. It's the shaggin' wagon.

From Nancy on Wed, Oct 13, 2010 at 19:08:54 from 76.27.19.206

Great job a taking it easy. I bet it is so hard for you to hold off on your running.

From RAD on Wed, Oct 13, 2010 at 19:27:11 from 67.172.229.125

Thanks Nancy! It is hard, but these crazy bloggers keep me comin' back for more.

From The Quiet Pirate on Wed, Oct 13, 2010 at 22:43:49 from 71.77.158.102

nice job working out twice when you're bored and not doing anything!

You're an animal-

probably an opossum, because you play dead, but you're really just at the gym taking boot camp class!!!

Glad the shins are starting to cooperate. maybe we won't make that walking PR after all...

From Bec on Wed, Oct 13, 2010 at 22:56:46 from 67.172.233.189

I like the fact that you haven't been running. You are really playing it smart. That pain will be gone in a short while.

From Teena Marie on Wed, Oct 13, 2010 at 23:40:04 from 174.23.122.157

Why are you in so much pain? I am so behind on everyone's blog!

From Brent on Thu, Oct 14, 2010 at 09:22:30 from 76.8.201.223

Devine Miss M - mommy, tough job being mom. Hey, by the way, how did the picture turn out of us at the bon fire in STG. I would sure like a copy of the picture for my scrap book.

Burt, move to the country, eat a little peaches, without John

Devine - hey, get healthy, QP and Devine running together, look out.

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

From RAD on Thu, Oct 14, 2010 at 10:17:54 from 67.172.229.125

QP, Opossum...I like it! :) Walking PR's are always good.

Becca, I'm hoping its gone soon - it's getting better each day. I just can't wait for the day when I don't even anticipate pain going downstairs!

Teena, I think your tape job at the marathon really did save me - literally. The calf/shin pain that I had you tape up just came back with a vengeance the day after SGM and I've been trying to be smart with it and not run on it until I have zero pain. Now that I have the full behind me I need to make sure I'm ready to go for the next one (11/14). Not running is killing me!

Brent, the picture is GREAT! I may have to get QP to send it to you, I still have no idea how to get pictures off my phone. I need to have hubby figure it out for me. Thanks for the well wishes, slowly and surely healing up.

RAD- I emailed you the pix. Enjoy!!
