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.

Spin on baby...spin on.

Good tough interval spin class today. Finished up with my PT/core exercises and then grabbed the kids. We spent the next hour or so splashing around in the pool and enjoying the sun. I spoiled them and bought them lunch at the pool while we dried off. Finally time for a shower and chores! :)

****I am wanting to run up Butterfield Canyon tomorrow. It is still closed to motor traffic (at least it was yesterday) so it would be a beautiful road run up the canyon. It isn't too steep and with no traffic it should be wonderful! I would love to have anyone/everyone join me! PM me and I can send you directions to my house (I start here, then I get a little more gradual up before hitting the canyon climb). Start time 6:30ish? I'm flexible, just trying to avoid heat and still sleep in a little :) ****

Carolyn, I wish you could come too! Maybe next month? :)

Brent, You'll have to come sometime when there is good packed snow to run on. That is a good time too.

Smooth, you've got a speedy race to get through! Have fun and if the canyon is still closed (they open it when the top pass melts...so who knows?) We shall do it again! :)

How are the leggies? Mine felt like crap today. First run since the m-thon. Haha

Rachel it sounds like a good run but I am having a garage sale Saturday and need to do a shorter run close to home. I've run Butterfield many times and it doesn't get any easier but sure gives you a good workout.

From RAD on Sat, Jun 25, 2011 at 12:13:36 from 98.202.17.113

David, since UVM they have felt like CRAP! Lead legs and nothing gets rid of them. It's pathetic honestly.

Nancy, I hope your garage sale goes well!
