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.

The regular 10 mile loop with just George and Ronnie "Todd Newton". We had a great run and a great chat as well. At one point I was in the middle flanked by these 2 guys. I told them I felt like a rockstar out on a run with her 2 bodyguards :) Good times. I was surprised when the pace came in. I hadn't looked at my watch the entire time, just felt comfortably hard. I'm really liking my new AP :)

AP: 8:12 splits: 8:24, 7:58 (up and over temple hill), 7:57, 8:22, 8:33, 8:23 (Mavrick Hill and gentle uphill these last 3), 8:06, 8:03 (downhill fun, but the 8:03 we had to run 1/2 mileish on a dirt road and I think it slowed us a bit), 8:18 (flattens a bit), 7:57 (last push to the finish - I let George and Ronnie race it out). The garmin has my last 36 feet at 6:14...nice finish.

Came home and slept for another 2.5 hours. I was tired :)

I think I need to taper and sleep this week for AF...maybe.

Nice run. I want some bodyguards to run with.

Might as well race, you know you want to!

Becca, I'm thinking I will...might as well!

Lily, It has been SO nice during the summer when my kids sleep until 9 then they kind of leave me alone and my daughter plays mom until I drag myself out of bed :)

Nice running pace, and good for you getting a nap in today. Summer really is wonderful, isn't it?

Hey, you are getting too fast!! I sometimes wonder if I will ever catch you :) Oh, and I think one day this week you should take your kids to get shaved ice at the place by Mountain Mikes on 104th. My cousins are the owners, and it's really good!

From Terri on Tue, Jun 19, 2012 at 19:36:36 from 108.18.158.95

Isn't it great to be able to take a nap when you really need it?

From Rachelle on Wed, Jun 20, 2012 at 12:34:28 from 159.212.71.25

Awesome run this morning Rachel! Yes taper and sleep my friend you can do it. It will be worth it when you fly through that finish line in lightning speed.

Don't even think of sticking with me and Josh. You are capable of much faster! 1:34 at least on that course garaunteed.
