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.

Nice easy Monday. Have to work again *sigh* so I couldn't do all I wanted at the gym, but I also wasn't willing to get up early :)

10 min walking @ 5% to get warmed up, still have some lingering in my legs from the 10 miler Saturday, not pain just regular carry over.

2 miles @ 9:50 on the TM (with a quick potty break thanks to shifting baby!)

upper body, core and squats all on the bosu ball

2 miles @ 9:40 on the TM...finished out the full 20 minutes so I got like 2.05 :)

bosu ball stuff again.

Plan is: 4,6,4,6, off, 10 for the week. I'm not going to increase my miles now - I want to just stay 20-30 each week for the next 10-12 weeks until baby is here!

That sounds like a great plan if it's not too much for you. You are one tough cookie. I don't think I could do nearly that much if I were pregnant.

From KP on Mon, Apr 05, 2010 at 14:03:37 from 65.208.22.25

That baby is going to come out running!

From RivertonPaul on Mon, Apr 05, 2010 at 17:25:39 from 67.42.27.114

Yeah, blame the baby for whatever suits you.

From Nancy on Mon, Apr 05, 2010 at 19:19:27 from 76.27.19.206

Wow. You will be running more than I do and you're pregnant. Great job.

Carolyn, it doesn't seem too much for me now - I'll reevaluate every week to make sure I'm not pushing too much.

KP, I hope not! I hope he doesn't learn to walk for a couple years - I like it when they stay in one place and don't talk back :)

Paul, being pregnant you always have an excuse for anything and everything!

Nancy, you do SO much other stuff and are up at 4 every morning!! I just run and sleep :)

From Michelle on Tue, Apr 06, 2010 at 09:50:31 from 97.122.175.87

Great plan. I am only doing 20 a week, you are doing awesome! I can't believe it was only a month ago that you weren't even running yet.

From RAD on Tue, Apr 06, 2010 at 10:01:19 from 67.172.229.125

Michelle, it's funny you mention that, because I was just thinking about it yesterday! Even though I'm running now I feel like I'm doing a lot less, I can get the same amount done in 45 min on the TM that I could in 75 min on the elliptical. Time seems less - effort about equal.
