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.

NO PAIN! NO PAIN! NO PAIN! I must shout it from the roof tops! Just to be cautious and make sure it is gone I had to restrain myself from running today, but no pain this morning makes for one happy RUNNER! Tomorrow I will run a few after spin class and go from there. It really makes me happy since I did run a bit yesterday in boot camp (just down and back in the church gym for 3-5 min or so) and some jumping, footwork etc that was impact and today was still good! So, I'm very happy - looking forward to a nice uphill run tomorrow (ha! you won't hear ME say that too often).

I had to switch things up today, not to mention ipod was dead (still hadn't charged it from Saturday - lazy, I know) and I want to finish my book that I've had hanging around for a few weeks (it's good, I just don't get much time to sit and read). So, I did the elliptical for an hour @ L14 - 5.5 miles; then I did the ARC for the last 30 @ L35 -1.41 miles (I was into the book and although I was sweating like crazy and working hard I was holding the book in my hands so I could read and workout so I didn't get the 1.6 that I should have).

Finished up with a quick set of PT stuff to keep up on the strength then my normal stretch afterward. I just can't wait until tomorrow! YAY! :)

I'm glad that your pain is gone. I hope you can run a little bit tomorrow. I don't know how anyone can read while they use the elliptical or treadmill.

Smooth, I'm not sure I understood all of the book that I read and it did give me a bit of headache, but I was just really into it and had to make it work!

Allie, :) - back at ya!

Carina, crazy how we take those days for granted!

Nancy, I will put the TM on an uphill and do that, makes the injury better.

Yay!!! We love no pain! I know what it feels like to be wanting to run so dang bad but your body just won't let you! I have learned the hard way to run smart and listen to my body! Hope you get to run and it feels great!

YAY! Hopefully you get to run like normal soon!
