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.

One nice thing about having the kids off track is that I get to sleep in until they wake up on gym days :) 

15 minute warm up on the elliptical @ L12 -1.5 miles -talked to Kelli first, as she was finishing up her run, so I didn't get my normal 20 min - the day care has cracked down on 'overtime' in the daycare :( 

TM for 7 miles @ 8:43 AP. Started at 8:57 and did progressive through the miles until mile 5 was 8:13 and then did the last mile faster until the last .2 was at 6:58mm. Good workout and I felt great afterward as well.

Thanks for writing on my blog, I can't believe how alike our running times are, how funny!! I'm looking forward to meeting you. :) I can't believe you have 4 kids...man am I behind or what. :) Nice workout today, keep it up!

You aren't behind - I just got stared about 7 years earlier than planned so we decided to just go for it and get 'er done :) Some days I day dream about how wonderful it would've been to have a few 'childless' years in my 20's! Now I just have to wait for my 50's :)

From glidergirl on Mon, Jan 10, 2011 at 16:28:03 from 155.97.238.134

That is a good way to do it! Now you can get all that no sleep, baby stage stuff behind you! (not that they aren't all bad I'm sure) If it makes you feel better, I am very jealous of moms and would much rather be doing that than going to school.

Sleeping in, how amazing!!!

From allie on Mon, Jan 10, 2011 at 20:03:19 from 174.23.238.75

glad you felt good, and glad you got to sleep in. looks like a great start to your week!

Great effort woman, but when are you gunna get it back out on the two lane black-top?

From Nancy on Mon, Jan 10, 2011 at 23:05:59 from 76.27.19.206

I'm glad you got to sleep in and still get in a good workout.

From RAD on Mon, Jan 10, 2011 at 23:31:29 from 67.172.229.125

Brooke, No, they aren't all that bad, and more than worth it (most days). I guess the grass is just always greener...

Carina, I do love the fact that my 3 older children will sleep in until 8:30ish if I let them!!

Allie, it was a wonderful start. I failed to mention that the captain from the firefighters came and was running next to me and we started talking families and he got the 'lion' talk. He was laughing so hard! I still love it :)

Slick, Tuesday and Thursdays I wrench myself out of bed to hit the road. I'm sleeping while I can, once school starts again I'll probably have to get up more.

Nancy, it's the best of both worlds right now...until I don't get home until 1PM and the whole day is shot!

SO HAPPY you got to sleep in a bit!!! AWESOME pace on the TM!!!

Awesome for you! Extra sleep sure does feel good.
