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.

Oh how I love to sleep! However, baby is still on EST and waking up at 5AM ready for the day...how can he adjust so easily there, but not back? *grump* Either way, I knew if I didn't get to the gym early I wouldn't get cardio in today. I did my best arguments to try and convince myself to sleep, but I got up and went anyway.

60 min on the elliptical @  L15 = 5.5 miles

After getting the kids off I went back for yoga. It was a good class today, just enough to elevate the HR, but not sweat and all my favorite stretches.

I'll probably jump back into p90X and do yoga tonight, I've been going to bed while hubby works out these past couple nights.

You have to convince yourself to sleep?! I have to convince myself to get up.

From Lily on Thu, Nov 18, 2010 at 15:13:16 from 67.199.181.73

I have to convince myself to sleep as well....except on a Sunday :)

It sounds like you recovered well from your marathon. Where is Outer Banks?

It sounds like you had a fun time with your sister and her friends.

From Scott Wesemann on Thu, Nov 18, 2010 at 18:23:52 from 66.239.250.209

I have been thinking about taking a yoga class at the gym. Do you think it helps? Maybe I'll try it out.

From allie on Thu, Nov 18, 2010 at 20:39:03 from 174.23.238.75

nice recovery this week. yoga is excellent for that.

From Bec on Thu, Nov 18, 2010 at 21:27:11 from 71.199.12.198

Great to see that you are back at it! No injuries I am assuming? Good to hear. What are your Turkey Trot plans for next week?

From Toby on Thu, Nov 18, 2010 at 22:40:59 from 66.133.97.196

Even when you don't run, you are a workout machine!

From KP on Thu, Nov 18, 2010 at 22:50:02 from 173.16.13.61

love yoga!

Carolyn, it was after the alarm clock went off guilt, so I was up...I just didn't want to be!

Lily, if it wasn't for Sunday I'd never get a good nights rest! (or afternoon nap)

Nancy, Outer Banks is in North Carolina, and it was a GREAT weekend.

Scott, I could go on and on about how much yoga helps!! I would definitely recommend it!!

Allie, I feel like another lazy week with recovery as the excuse.

Bec, Sat I'll be at LC...you too? I always do Cottonwood Heights Turkey Trot, great prizes!! oh, and awards 5 deep :)

Toby, I'm just a pansy and don't want to get up early in the dark and cold!

KP, you've got some of the best yoga moves around! :)

From KP on Fri, Nov 19, 2010 at 14:14:31 from 65.208.22.25

ohhh... i do have some GOOD yoga moves! have you mastered those yet?

From RAD on Fri, Nov 19, 2010 at 14:25:48 from 67.172.229.125

HA! you're funny :)

If I could do some of the simple ones I may try your moves, but as of yet my long gawky body doesn't quite move that way.
