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.

Why is it when I blog about running each day, it doesn't seem to get old. But, when I blog about having to cross-train everyday I feel like it's just always blah, blah, blah....

Lower leg feels better actually AFTER the workout today than it did before, I'm honestly getting really tired of feeling it and want the pain to just GO AWAY!!!

Subconscious self-sabotage this morning: set my alarm for PM not AM. Thank you baby for waking up to eat and getting me out the door.

20 min of elliptical = 1 mile @ L6 resistance

Spin class - another good sweat fest, I really prefer to do hills and resistance on the bike than sprints and fast work...kind of opposite of my running :)

40 min of elliptical = 2 mile @ L6 resistance (plan was to do 1 hr before class, because hubby is going rock climbing today; however, the sabotage made me relinquish plans and do it this way. He had to wait an extra 30 minutes for me to get home, but was nice about it).

Hang in there RAD. Be patient, it will pay off in the long run.

Allie, I hate it when that happens - if it wasn't for baby I would've missed it ALL this morning. I wouldn't have gotten 9 minutes!

Terri, thanks, I've got less than one month...

i hope you enjoyed the extra sleep!!!

I'm glad you a good cross-training workout it. I hope by Monday your legs feel better and you can run.

What's going on with your lower leg?

From DonGardinero on Sun, Oct 17, 2010 at 15:13:18 from 75.162.103.23

It's definitely not as fun blogging about cross training as it is for running. Hope the leg gets feeling better soon.

From Bec on Sun, Oct 17, 2010 at 20:19:46 from 67.172.233.189

What is going with your leg RAD? CALL TOSH!!! You have two big races coming up and I HAVE to do Halloween 1/2 with you. Well, I would rather just have you up and running so I don't have to read about your cross-training anymore. It's so blah blah blah...JK

I miss you. Tri class will start the week of the 1/2. Think about it! It will help you from not running so dang much.

From Smooth on Sun, Oct 17, 2010 at 23:24:07 from 67.41.235.104

Smart xtraining! You will come back stronger and faster! Here's to back to blogging running miles soon! :)

Kudos to baby saving you from sub-conscious self-sabotage! :D

From MrsFIT on Mon, Oct 18, 2010 at 12:44:12 from 205.127.241.18

Just remember that all this cross training will HELP you get back on the road ;)

KP, I always enjoy extra sleep - especially when it is cuddling with a cute boy :)

Nancy, thanks, when I don't heal quickly it makes me feel old. We're getting there though.

David, horrible shin splints, with a couple of 'knot' like pains in the calf area. It was bad before SGM, but it came back with a vengeance after. I've got another full coming up next month, so I want to make sure the leg is 100% before running on it again.

Dale, it's strange how that is! I hope to be back to the running blog soon.

Bec, it's getting there. I've put a call into Joel, but haven't heard back yet. I'm a little shy to go in, because I'm afraid it's just going to be "rice it and no impact" which I'm doing and I don't want to spend $25 plus time and babysitter to hear that. It's feeling better, so the blah blah blah of cross-training should end soon :)

Smooth, thanks - I'm trying to stay positive about it. Gotta love a good running partner that always gets you up and out the door :)

FIT, you're right! That's why I'm keeping it up and trying to stay positive with it, I know it's doing me good. I just love to run...
