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.

Tried to keep routine by waking up early and I went to the gym and did my personal training session in lieu of BBK's. Then I did 17 miles on the bike in 45 minutes at 3.5 resistance. 

Came home and got the kids off to school, then ahhh...yoga! Afterward I did Zumba again, it is SO fun!!! Good day despite no running...I'm just taking this as a taper for the race Saturday. I'd better be ready to go and run fast!! :)

Okay, I just read your blog. HMMMM, I don't know what to think? I am really happy that you are allowed to run the 20 next Saturday, and I am really excited about your decision about the marathon!!!

Keep up your cross training. Thank you for helping me be more motivated.

I hope your leg will be better! I just read this thing in my new running book about forced tapers (due to injuries and things). Very often, athletes run their best races after forced tapers because they could not run and came to the race well rested. Who knows? Overall, I hope your IT band stops giving you problems.

Becca, I'd like to do Provo Canyon next Saturday...anyone/everyone invited!

Luz, I'm hoping that's the way it goes - fingers crossed!!

Brent, Zumba is a new aerobics/dance class. It's really just fun! Pumpkin Run out here in Herriman, it's a 5 miler and THANKS!!

GOOD LUCK on your 5k race(SSS) tomorrow!

I have no doubt that you will run fast tomorrow. I'm looking forward to your race report(s).

I would love to run the half next weekend!! Let's plan on it! I still want to break 1:30 this year, and I think I might be able to do it on that course.

How are you feeling?

From RAD on Sat, Oct 24, 2009 at 19:14:03 from 76.27.12.70

Becca, I didn't know there was a 1/2 there next weekend. I actually need to be done by 9AM, I want to do 20 and I'd like to get some descent downhill miles. LMK if you're still interested.
