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.

Step class this morning, I really miss our teacher that had a baby last month. The sub just isn't as good. Heidi will be trying to come back starting next Monday, so I'll have to wait even longer for her *sigh* I did get a good workout though - she at least kept us moving!

Then I went out to the TM to chat with Kelli as she finished up her daily marathon :)  30 minutes @ 10% grade, 3.2 mph.

Now I'm working on the final scrub down of the house so I can sit back and not have to deal with cleaning for at least a week, then make my slave husband do it the next :)

Here's to hoping that I get to keep my induction apt tomorrow AM and that by evening I've got some good news to spread around! I'm trying not to be pessimistic, but I think waiting SO long to have a baby kind of makes you that way...

I can't believe it it TOMORROW already! Ahhhhh. I'm so excited for Baby Fartlek to be here. I also can't believe the workout you just did the day before giving birth to your 4th child. You must've been really "bored" today.

Good luck! Best wishes! Congrats! (oh wait... that one needs to wait until tomorrow)

I can't wait to see a pic. We expect a full blog update tomorrow ;)

RAD, you are rad!

From Kelli on Mon, Jun 21, 2010 at 17:40:20 from 71.219.99.30

Thanks for chatting with me, I needed the company today.

RAD- way to get out there and get a workout on your last day of incubator duty!

If you call me when the baby's born, I'll put it here on the blog for you. Or you can make everyone wait until you're ready to post it. Either way, you'd better call me!

Sleep well Sister, we'll all be waiting to hear from you soon.

RAD told me I could let everyone know that baby Adam arrived this afternoon at 2:13 pm. 7 lbs 1 oz, 19.5 inches long. He and his mommy are both doing great!
