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.

Thanks to Kelli for getting me up this morning and out the door. It was SO cold! Did just a nice easy 5K on the stake route. Got home and grabbed Lucy took her on an easy one mile walk cool-down. 

Finished off at the gym with yoga. Man! I've missed that class. Still can't put my head below my stomach w/out wanting to throw up, which causes issues in some poses, but I just modify what I can.

Great job running in the cold. You are a brave woman.

Yoga kicked my butt today. I am so sore for some reason and today was not the day to hold poses forever!!

Thanks for running with me, I would have slept in otherwise and NOT run!

Carolyn, I actually got a little warm...I did have 5 layers on though :)

Kelli, Yoga was good...except the holding part! Now we can rest tomorrow and enjoy our nice warm beds!

I'm glad you were able to run again.

From Smooth on Thu, Dec 03, 2009 at 23:08:47 from 71.52.65.202

YAY for running again albeit in the freezing cold! Does your body core gets warmer when you're pregnant?

Enjoy yoga during these first 2 trimester; pretty soon you will not be able to see your toes! :) :) :)

Yoga is for sissies? Thats what I thought until I went to a class. Devine, good job staying consistent, will payoff when you return back to racing.

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

Nancy, I'm happy to be back too! I'll probably try group again next week, my energy levels are low and 3 miles really is good for me right now if I want to do anything else the rest of the day :)

Smooth, my doc did mention something about my 'internal heater' while running in the cold, so probably! However...it didn't help my thighs - the fat on them were FREEZING the whole run and were even cold when I got home and in the tub! lol...I didn't think about that with yoga :)

Brent, trying to keep it up - very hard with little energy every day. I try to save a little for my family too!
