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.

Tired and ornery...

Went to the gym and did 60 minutes of elliptical 6.0miles @ L12

Then an upper body workout, all major arm/back muscles and core for 30 minutes (3 sets). Now off to eat all dozen doughnuts I just bought on a whim at the store...I know that will make me feel better :)

Krispy Kreme?

From RAD on Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 14:27:52 from 67.172.229.125

Oh how I wish :) I bought them for tonight, but I keep contemplating just eating them all because I'm having such a crappy day!

From catherine on Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 14:44:30 from 216.49.181.254

Good luck. I think I'd cave and eat them. With milk. Maybe chocolate milk.

From Scott Wesemann on Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 15:02:41 from 66.239.250.209

This might make you feel better: Grandeur Peak tomorrow morning, followed by a run around the mountain. 11+ miles. Do it! 6:00 am at the trailhead. See you there?? :)

From RAD on Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 15:06:53 from 67.172.229.125

Catherine, a nice big glass of chocolate milk might just push me over the edge...I'll have to wait until the kids are down for nap time. I don't like to share :)

Scott, oh man! Are you kidding? I would LOVE to...6AM? I'm getting tired already :) Which trailhead? church fork?

From Scott Wesemann on Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 15:10:06 from 66.239.250.209

The West Ridge trailhead. We'll go up that and then run down to Church Fork, and back around to the cars.

From RAD on Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 15:13:53 from 67.172.229.125

That is the trailhead at the end of Wasatch Blvd? Where you would get on the BST path that goes over the free-way? This would mean about 4:30 wake up call for me...this may be decided when I see what time I get to bed tonight...

From Merri on Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 15:15:11 from 160.7.252.148

A dozen donuts always make me feel better. :)

From Scott Wesemann on Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 15:24:22 from 66.239.250.209

Yep. Wasatch BLV to 33rd South and then turn right (east) and follow the road to the trailhead.

Just shoot me an email and let me know if you plan to go so we will know whether to wait for you or not.

I just ate my donuts in bed...sick and grumpy at this house too!

From Kelli on Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 17:24:31 from 71.219.84.215

There is nothing that cures ornery like a dozen donuts, or some Frogurt, or sugar cookies....

Great work this week, you would never know you just ran such a great 1/2 marathon, you are cranking out the workouts already.

Have a good weekend.

From Carina on Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 22:17:31 from 204.15.86.83

Nice work today, I am not a fan of bad days! Sugar works for me, nibs preferably!

From Brooke on Sat, Jan 29, 2011 at 13:09:25 from 155.97.238.134

It was Friday, you have kids and you're a runner...perfect combination for an ornery, crappy day. Hopefully you can get some rest and some delicious junk food soon. :)

From The Quiet Pirate on Sat, Jan 29, 2011 at 15:54:17 from 65.191.244.148

I didn't know you were training for the Krispy Kreme Challenge with me!!! I'll probably only have 5 or 6 today..I've got to start my taper this week. :-)
