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.

Since I'm going to try and run 31K (19.22 miles) tomorrow I decided to not do my 'normal' run today but take things easy. So, I went to my step class (the teacher I love is finally back after having to go through 2 open heart surgeries with her baby!) and man oh man did it kick my trash! I loved it! Sweating like a fool and doing something other than 'forward' motion, I'm glad she is back, because I forgot how much I love this class!

I then went out and hit just a 5K on the TM nice and easy. About a mile into it everyone on the TMs left and I got bored so I kept increasing the speed and finished with an AP of 8:32. I couldn't tell you splits, because I was all over the place. Either way it was a good 'loosen up' run for the trek tomorrow.

If anyone would like to join me PLEASE let me know! I would LOVE some company. I think I'm going to go to the JRP, probably in Lehi since I love it so much down there and start around 8ish. I am flexible on place and time if anyone wants to come and can't make it at that time...or you could come later and meet me for the 2nd half? Just let me know!

Good luck on your 31k tomorrow. If I didn't live so far away, I'd bring my bike and ride alongside to keep you company.

That's right you are doing a 31K because you are turning 31. Happy Birthday tomorrow. Good luck on your run.

I so wish I could come! I just don't think I'd make it dragging two kiddos with me :) I hope you have a amazing run to start off an amazing birthday!
