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.

Went to the gym and did the recumbant bike for 60 minutes (15 miles) - just enough to keep the legs moving and warm, then was able to stretch a little. Trying to save/recover some legs for my 22 tomorrow, peaking before Ogden - can't believe its already time to peak - aahhhh!!! The butterfiles in the gut just started....

Good luck on your training run tomorrow.

Thanks, I'm dreading it already... Legs are tired and sore.

Peak? Oh, crap, maybe I better try and sneak 20 in, instead of 18... oh, well

I have not done a marathon since TOU, this is going to be painfully slow, and you know, IT'S OKAY!!!

Good luck tomorrow!

Dang 22 miler. I would love to feel able to get one of those in before Ogden. I will be happy to get just 18 in. Hopefully those butterlies will help pick you up after mile 16.:)

Thanks for all of your help. You are the nutrition angel I needed :)

Devine Miss M - your funny, you won't get lost in a forest, you may be related to forest gump, all that running. Have a sweet long run, don't worry about the pace, if fact, don't even check your pace until the run is done.

22!!!! Do it my friend. I want to read all about it on the blog tomorrow. I was thinking about joining, but I think the spinning class is calling my name. Are you getting ready to qualify for Boston? Don't be surprised when it happens.

From RAD on Sat, Apr 25, 2009 at 00:02:06 from 67.166.99.8

Thanks all!! I'm ready to get out all my 'demons' tomorrow. Got some bad news about 3PM this afternoon...I'll be out of town for my uncle's funeral sometime next week :( Anyway, my cousin put me in charge of informing my side of the family and then life just exploded tonight. Then, to top it all off I had 6 kids to watch tonight while my husband worked late. Aaaaahhhhh, running would be a fabulous relief right now!!!! Too bad all I could do for dinner was pizza, too tired to do anything else...we'll see how pizza, cookies and bananas fuel a 22 miler :)

From Bec on Sat, Apr 25, 2009 at 01:11:02 from 67.177.35.60

Sounds like great fuel to me!

From RAD on Sat, Apr 25, 2009 at 01:23:57 from 67.166.99.8

oh, did I mention the bananas had hot fudge sauce on them? It was the 'healthy' solution to my chocolate cravings :)

I hope you guys figured out I wasn't coming this morning. I completely spaced it and realized I never even said whether or not I was really coming. Also, I'd forgotten I had set up running with a friend in Provo a few weeks ago, and had to cancel that one too. I hope the 22 didn't give you any trouble and you'll have a bit of time to recover!
