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.

NOT in a good mood today. I just want to be done and sleep. best to just leave me to my own devices. Almost didn't go to the gym, but I sucked it up and just did it.

6 miles on the TM

3 miles @ 1% 8:34, 8:34, 8:27 (until .25 left and the nursery called me. I was SO ticked off I didn't want to deal with baby and his problems and I didn't want to have to take him and go only 3 miles in...grrr, I was just starting to feel better!!! So, I wanted to just finish the last mile before I went down there. 10mph pace (6:00) for the last 1/4 mile until I was done with the 3 miles - didn't feel too hard!). Luckily it was only a diaper change. I really might have just left him there and ran away today if it was anything else!)

3 more on the TM @ 1% - 8:20, 8:13, 8:00 with another pickup the last .25 at 6:58 pace. Walked a cool down to finish the show I'd been watching.

TT: 49:50; AP: 8:18

Don't ask me to do anything else today, I'm done. Dumb party hangovers!

Can I giggle....just a little???? That was my Saturday..too many kids! AND summer break is almost here. I need to find that MOM MOJO somewhere!

Regardless, you got the miles in and are done for the day. If I've gotten my run in, I usually don't care if I didn't do anything else. So take a breather....go get a cherry coke and chocolate mini donuts and watch a dumb show (in your jammies)!

I agree with Toby whole heartedly!!! :) :) :) Take a chill pill along with all of the above goodies! :) :) :)

Toby, yes - I'm sure I'll laugh about yesterday's craziness soon :) I'm just in a bad mood now today and can't shake it. Problem is I had too much candy/junk food yesterday and too much 'relaxing' (not getting done anything I NEEDED to), so today is catch up, with mom in a bad mood :)

Smooth, maybe I just need to duct tape the kids to their beds and take a nap :)

RAD- sorry you had a bad day.Glad you got your run in. You may be getting pre-race anxiety that's making you a little 'off' too. It will pass :-)

Hope Thursday is better!

Hi Rad, hope you're having a better day.
