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.

P90X last night was shoulders and back - a gazillion push-ups and pull-ups with Abs afterward, so I opted out of resistance today at the gym and just did cardio. I'm scared to run outside...it's SO cold! I went from hot outdoor running to cold, I needed an interim period.

45 minutes on the elliptical L12 = 4.0 miles

45 minutes on the TM = 5 miles, AP 9:00. Started at a 9:22 then ended at a 7:53 and it turned 5.00 just as time ran out, perfect!

Plyometrics tonight for P90X, I hope I can get the kids to bed on time so that I'm not up late exercising. The mornings AND nights are getting tough on the sleep end of things.

I've thought about doing P90X; the off season is the perfect time to do it!!!

From Smooth on Tue, Oct 26, 2010 at 15:33:54 from 63.228.197.20

You're doing great w/ the 2-a-day workouts. NICE job! Please get some sleep will ya? Rest/sleep is a very important yet under-rated part of training!

From RAD on Tue, Oct 26, 2010 at 15:45:16 from 67.172.229.125

MrsFIT - the P90X is only for my hubby, well, I'm doing it with him to encourage and support him, but I'd rather not :) It's not bad, I just like my gym workouts better (NOT in my family room and with other people and something different every time) and I can't do both, it burns me out WAY too fast.

Smooth, I'm trying oh, I'm trying! I think baby is on a growth spurt and needing to eat more so he wakes up at night a bit more than he used to. This past weekend was crazy too, so I didn't get a day to sleep in.

holy moly you are gonna be ripped! nice job on the workouts

Rachel, How do you do all that with a young family?? Wonderwoman!!!!

From RAD on Tue, Oct 26, 2010 at 16:22:47 from 67.172.229.125

Ryan, HA! Like I said, this is my 'support' workout, so I never do it as hard as I would if I was at the gym or doing it for myself. I can still kick my hubby's trash at it though :)

Leslie, The gym is 90 minutes of free day care every day, and p90X is after bed time for the little ones. Otherwise, it would be like everything else in my life: procrastinated until it's a moot point! :)

Miles, miles, I see miles! I haven't been on FRB for a few days so it's good to see that you are up and running. Um, Saturday will be the BOMB! I have a few costume ideas.

From Burt on Tue, Oct 26, 2010 at 17:32:33 from 206.19.214.144

Is this week 1 or week 2? I've lost track. Don't forget to BRING IT!

From Toby on Tue, Oct 26, 2010 at 23:02:00 from 66.133.97.196

How do you get it all done lady? I know "early mornings", but I do early morning and still can't get all my wife/mom/etc duties done! You are amazing!

From Scott Wesemann on Wed, Oct 27, 2010 at 01:23:09 from 75.165.249.90

Keep kicking your hubby's trash. I love it! :)

From RAD on Wed, Oct 27, 2010 at 14:04:30 from 67.172.229.125

Burt, week two - officially 10% done.

Toby, I'm good at procrastinating and enslaving my children to get things done. A lot that I'd like to do doesn't always get done until hubby gets home and I get free arms.

Scott, will do! He's stronger than I am, but I've got the endurance to keep going that he has yet to develop...so it looks like I can kick his butt.
