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.

Well, I could hardly believe that I was sore from my excursion yesterday, but I was. Quads were a little achy, but other than that I'm feeling good from yesterday; however, I don't think I'll run again until Fri or Sat - hopefully I got it out of my system!

Went on a walk this morning with baby and Lucy (our dog). I brought Adam in the walking stroller to ensure that I wouldn't run even just the downhills. I wore the garmin to simply see how many miles my walking route was - it was just shy of 4 miles, so I walked a bit extra to get a full 4 miles. I finished in an hour, and my pace was 15:01 for the walk - which for the hills I have to take in on this one I felt good about.

It was nice this morning - much cooler and it's so fun to be out with this little guy and watch him looking around and just enjoying the stroller time with mom. We got a five and a half hour stretch of sleep last night - gotta love it!!

You are amazing. I can't believe you are already out there again. Amazing. Your little guy is super cute too. Congrats.

I'm glad you can get out and walk. That is still a pretty fast walk while pushing a stroller.

jun, I go a little too stir crazy :)

Nancy, I tried to keep it moving at a decent pace, plus Adam LOVES being out in the stroller.

Love you RAD! Your baby moments are sweet and I am happy that you share that on the blog, so cool!

I have an appt. with Joel on Friday, I am looking forward to it. I looked at the TOSH website and I was pleasantly surprised at what that place has to offer. When and I called them and told them what was wrong they asked if I was a runner. Thought that was kinda cool.
