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.

Okay, lets start with last night. p90x was plyometrics, jumping + bad calf didn't really seem like a good idea. I did what I could, but was pleasantly surprised there was little pain. One exercise they have you hop on one foot - that one got me, but the rest were actually okay! I was worried about how it would feel this morning, but it was great - NO pain!

Got up early and did my 'faux running' on the elliptical. 60 minutes @ L10 resistance 5.5 miles.

After getting kiddos off went back for Boot camp. It was a good circuit training today. She did have us run about .35 miles or so. Honestly, I debated, but thought I'd give it a try. I ended up with the least amount of limping and gimping since about 2+ weeks before SGM. Another good sign! I also was able to do jumping jacks etc with equal weight on the feet. I can feel it a bit now, but it's just a small throb, not even close to pain I was having even just a few days ago.

Hit the bike to round out the 90 minutes of day care time (I spent 10+ minutes jabbing to Kelli and Wendy, so I had to cut the time down a tad). 20 minutes @ L7 = 5.0 miles.

Tonight is arms, back and abs. It's crazy to watch my husband gimping around, but still ready to take it on again tonight. He's doing great!

Awesome! It sounds like your gimping days are just about over.

What is the date for OBX?

Elliptical, boot camp, bike, and p90x? Do you ever stop?

Cal, I'm looking forward to putting them behind me.

Chad, no rest for the wicked!

Allie, thanks, I'm afraid if I stop or slow down I'll either go into a coma for lack of sleep or die.

Lily, I'm not crazy...I'm just bored :)
