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....very difficult - legs couldn't move that fast :) -however, by the end I was actually jumping and doing the 'power up' steps..took all my energy, but I did it!

5 miles on the bike to 'spin out' the soreness

stretching - quads and calves are VERY sore!

Stairs are my nemesis...we'll see how volleyball goes tonight!

WOW! Back at it already! AWESOME active recovery! Slide down the stairs! Volleyball...stand and spike it...no heroic act to dive for the ball, ok!!!

I'm with Smooth, if you can do ALL that after TOU (2 days ago!) you're GOLDEN!

From DonGardinero on Mon, Sep 21, 2009 at 14:31:38 from 75.162.163.199

Well I'm glad to hear that someone else is actually sore I'm so sore I can barely walk. You did awesome at TOU!!!

Smooth, there will be NO heroics at v-ball tonight, THAT I can promise! :)

MrsFit, everyone was asking me what was wrong as I was 'hobbling' through class...I may have done it, but not well!

Dale, sore is an understatement! I can run 26 miles, but don't expect me to walk today! :)

From DonGardinero on Mon, Sep 21, 2009 at 14:49:02 from 75.162.163.199

Rachel, sore IS an understatement for sure!!! I have to be careful when I'm walking or my legs will buckle and I'll collapse to the ground. LOL I'm going to try some cycling tomorrow to see if I can loosen up and speed up recovery.

From RAD on Mon, Sep 21, 2009 at 15:00:40 from 76.27.12.70

lol...that's about what I feel like today too! Everyone was surprised to see me at the gym, but I knew I HAD to get out and move or it would just be worse tomorrow!

Hehehe. Luv you.
