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, the best laid plans....

2AM I woke up chucking my guts about every 15 minutes. I now wonder why I was so 'crazy' yesterday. I still have yet to decide if it's sickness or food poisoning.  Needless to say, it's noon - I'm finally sitting upright - consumed 1/2 cup of liquid for more than 45 minutes - and will be resting for the rest of the day. I'll probably be out of it for a while now, it always takes longer for us pregnant ladies to recover from crud like this.

Oh crap... I'm so sorry you are not feeling well. Take it easy little girl :) Get plenty of rest, plenty of fluids. My thoughts go out to you that you will feel better soon.

oh no! do you think it's late morning sickness? since i've never had a child, i feel that i am entitled to ask stupid questions like that!

hope you are feeling better soon. i'll eat an extra moon pie in your honor ;)

Lori, thanks! I'm working on liquids, but don't want to do too much too fast - could be disastrous!

KP, I don't think it is; however, my husband is calling it a girl flu. Only my oldest (only daughter) and I have it - everyone else is fine! Oh, and PLEASE eat at least 2 for me - they sound dreamy!! :)

I'm sorry that you're sick, but I'm glad that you're giving your body a rest today. Feel better soon! Hopefully this is the kind of thing that is gone quickly.

I'm sorry Rachel. I hope you feel better soon.

Thanks all! A rest day was just what the doc ordered. I'm feeling better today, except my back - from laying down all day yesterday. It sure is interesting what a day of 'nothing' does to you...and your house!! :)
