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.

SO SORE...stairs still scare me :) So, I slept - sleep recovery is important for muscle repair, right?

Kick-boxing with only 5000 push ups and lunges and squats....

5K on the TM - sheer torture, at 10mm I was barely hanging on the back...finished it in just under 29 minutes (obviously sped up, a little. Actually was able to do 7:30 for the last .10)

Working on walking and staying active/stretching today...more Butt kicking tomorrow!

Wow, your trainer must be kickin you guys! Keep up the hard work.

From Kelli on Wed, Sep 02, 2009 at 15:28:42 from 71.219.64.200

I do not think I can take it!!!!

From RAD on Wed, Sep 02, 2009 at 15:43:05 from 76.27.12.70

I SO should NOT be on the computer right now...but I don't have the energy to get up. Maybe I'll just put the kids down for a nap and sleep - Must keep moving....maybe tomorrow will be better!

From Kelli on Wed, Sep 02, 2009 at 15:51:40 from 71.219.64.200

I am PTA multi-tasking.....

From Smooth on Wed, Sep 02, 2009 at 15:56:16 from 71.36.65.90

Sounds torturing! Be kind to your body! Eat and sleep!

From Carolyn in Colorado on Wed, Sep 02, 2009 at 17:46:55 from 24.8.167.243

Yes. Yes. Sleep recovery is very important for muscle repair.

So after that, you're going to go get your butt kicked again tomorrow. You are hard core. How long does this go on? Is this some kind of class you're taking?

From RAD on Wed, Sep 02, 2009 at 19:42:51 from 76.27.12.70

Smooth, thanks...I'm trying to eat, but healthy stuff. It's hard when you're hungry! :)

Carolyn, no end...BBK's are every Tuesday and Thursday. I don't think they ever stop...not for wind, rain, snow, hail...they are HARD CORE! My Personal training will only be for a couple months, but the week before TOU I'm not going.

From DonGardinero on Wed, Sep 02, 2009 at 19:49:12 from 152.216.7.5

Dang, save some for TOU!!! lol

From Teena on Wed, Sep 02, 2009 at 22:31:50 from 67.177.20.13

Sounds brutal!!!!

Nice job Rachel!!!

You are seriousy tough.

From RAD on Wed, Sep 02, 2009 at 23:29:11 from 76.27.12.70

Dale, hopefully I'm starting to MAKE some to have at TOU :)

Teena, Kelli is the tough one...you should see that chicka! I'm barely clinging to a 10mm pace on the TM and she's hitting a 7mm pace; I just try to not look too bad running next to her :)

From Bec on Wed, Sep 02, 2009 at 23:42:20 from 67.177.35.60

Whatever RAD, you are an awesome runner! I bet you two gym babes have fun while you grit and spit!

From RAD on Wed, Sep 02, 2009 at 23:57:58 from 76.27.12.70

I grit, no spit...we were both parched! :)

From Nancy on Wed, Sep 02, 2009 at 23:59:05 from 76.27.11.127

5000 pushups!! Wow Rachel you are tough.

From RAD on Thu, Sep 03, 2009 at 00:03:05 from 76.27.12.70

yeah...or an exaggerator, one of the two :)

From Leandra on Thu, Sep 03, 2009 at 14:11:17 from 71.213.99.226

oh I bet you're sore! I know that feeling of being scared of the stairs ha ha . I'm glad I'm not feeling it right now ;)
