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.

ahhhh...Friday. I'd much rather have sore arms than legs! Not nearly as distracting as I try to work out. 

Nice and easy day...1 hr on the upright bike, variable resistance to 8 - total 17 miles

Had to use the rest of the 30 min of daycare time...so I reluctantly hit the TM for another 5K - finished in 26 min 6 seconds...not too bad, I kept a steady 8:30 for the first 2.6 then went to 7:30 then pushed the last .13 trying to get in under 26....SO close, if the course was measured wrong I may have gotten in at 26 min :)

That's a pretty speedy 5K on the TM. I thought you'd take it easy after yesterday's brutal workout.

Way to go speedy! Do you have a long run tomorrow?

From RAD on Fri, Sep 04, 2009 at 14:04:36 from 76.27.12.70

Carolyn, I had my friend next to me the entire run...until the end, then I just wanted it done with!!!

Leandra, I'm hoping to do a 18-20 tomorrow...Kelli suggested Provo river, which sounds enticing!

RAD- Glad to see you've showered! :-) I thought you were going to go easy today too.

I'm with you on the sore arms being better than sore lower body.

Have fun on your long run tomorrow. Hope you have great weather.

hmmmm...I guess I shouldn't have told you that, lazy Friday...not yet. I will, I will, give me a minute - or hour :)

From Smooth on Fri, Sep 04, 2009 at 14:39:18 from 71.36.64.93

You never stop, do you? That's a speedy 5K for an EZ Fri.!!!! Your mileage is approaching the 50 mark with your long tomorrow! GOOD JOB!

From RAD on Fri, Sep 04, 2009 at 14:53:57 from 76.27.12.70

Smooth, there was no running on the docket today...until my butt hurt after an hour on the bike and I didn't want to do weights. That 1.5 hours in the daycare MUST be used to its fullest, so I had to do something :) It's all the daycare's fault today!

From Smooth on Fri, Sep 04, 2009 at 14:58:17 from 71.36.64.93

You're too funny! Don't they have a lounge chair where you could have rested your achy butt and read? Somehow I just can't see you sit and do nothing. YOU ARE A REAL RUNNER!!!!!

From RAD on Fri, Sep 04, 2009 at 17:04:09 from 76.27.12.70

lol! I actually told my friend that I should just pull up a mat in the corner and take a nap! I did get one this afternoon, thank goodness!!
