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, again only up 4X last night. I'm getting more used to it, although it is still difficult to get up in the morning!

Same deal as the last couple days: 40 min on the elliptical 3.9miles @ L14 to get some reading in.

5.0 miles on the TM @ AP of 8:30mm. First 4 miles were at a steady 8:41 then the last mile I increased the speed to 8:27 for the first .25 mile then increased .2mph every quarter until the last one and I did .1mph every .05 mile. Ending at 7:30mm. Felt good and had a nice chat with Kelli for the majority of the time, which always makes time fly!

So glad that you came to chat---I was lonely! Now head to Buckle and get yourself some cute pants and then over to AE for a sweater or two.

Were you chatting about all the cute bloggers...?

From DonGardinero on Wed, Dec 15, 2010 at 14:40:28 from 174.52.230.9

Burt, that would exclude me.

Rachel, another awesome job getting it done.

From Burt on Wed, Dec 15, 2010 at 16:25:35 from 206.19.214.144

Someday when you are old like me and wake up every morning at 4am you will wish to be young again. Great job with all the exercise, especially with not much sleep.

Way to get up and go!! It's so hard to get up with sleepless nights.

From RAD on Thu, Dec 16, 2010 at 01:43:38 from 67.172.229.125

Kelli, never made it to AE, spent too much at Buckle :) But, it's ALL good and I have a few options to choose from - yippee and thanks for the suggestion!

Burt, not so much the cute bloggers...more the big hairy ones :)

Dale, we're all about inclusion around here!

Nancy, both my mom and grandma would get up early like that...so I guess this is just early training?

Carina, Thanks, it is hard, but thankfully the gym helps out on the worst days - I just have to miss my favorite classes.

Devine Miss M - do old and cute go together? I think so, never over the hill - Devine, keeping after it, good work.

Burt and Dale, I promise we will talk about you today.
