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.

Thirteen fabulous miles in the winter wonderland! Loved it. I just wish that they would plow a few inches past the white line. It was all frozen slush rocks, not soft snow :( I did a lot of sidewalk running to escape certain death on the roads, but then the hole in the heel of my mizunos (they have a horseshoe shape on the heel, not a real hole to the inside) would fill with snow and I'd be running on my toes. Crazy. Still loved being out on the road! Sleep in and still run, yup the only good thing about winter.

Best part was about 1/4 mile away from home I was trying to move to the side of the road and went a little too far into the gutter/edge - stepped in a hole of icy water up to my ankles. BRRRRR! All the cars driving down the street got a crazy dance out of me as I tried to run/jump/flail onto dry ground. Good thing I was almost home - and wore old shoes, actually they were the mud ones from 2 weeks ago with Smooth, so I guess they needed the bath :)

Good times out on the road, I forget how much I love the hills out here...just plain forget (insert sarcasm font).

TT: 1:58:35 AP: 8:54 (not all that fabulous, but I'm going to blame the snow. Plus I was just out enjoying it. I honestly didn't care about pace! Especially since my slowest mile was downhill, but in the snow packed sidewalk, I think I have a right to blame the snow and slush rocks :) ) Splits: 8:52, 8:40, 8:35, 8:44, 9:08, 9:22, 8:21, 8:50, 8:54, 9:17, 8:50, 9:13, 9:06, 8:38 - last .3

It sounds like you had a nice slushy run. Way to get in those miles.

I think I would have enjoyed this run with you, even in the snow. Go for you to get so many miles in for the week in just four days.

Well done. I got rocks stuck inside the hole of my Mizunos quite often when I run off road. The only thing I don't like about them.
