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.

drag, drag, drag - although sleep is better :) We got a memory foam mattress topper this weekend, ahhhh! Sleep is almost good now!

TM at the gym with lead legs - I feel like I've gained 50 pounds sometimes when I run!

2 miles 9:50 then 9:40 

upper body weights on the bosu ball, push-ups, core work and ITB stuff.

2 miles 9:40 then 9:31

Same weights repeated

2 miles both at 9:40

Same weights again

Can't wait to go to BBK's tomorrow!! I'm worried about the wind & weather, waking up early & not keeping up, but I'm excited to feed off the energy of amazing runners again! YAY!!

oooOOOOhh memory foam! nice workout today with the weights mixed in between. sounds fun. i was sad i missed you on saturday. my final decision not to race was weighing on whether or not i REALLY wanted to forfeit the chance to get some magic water from you. but my motivation, my left shoe and my hip all won out. they are so uncooperative sometimes! good luck on your run tomorrow. i hope you beat the storm because this one looks nasty.

From RAD on Mon, Mar 29, 2010 at 16:54:59 from 67.172.229.125

Allie, I think you made the right decision! I will save the magic water for you when you are recovered and at your best game - then you can 'plug' me and my mad water skills in the paper :)

From Smooth on Mon, Mar 29, 2010 at 17:11:11 from 174.23.251.49

NICE run and weights in between today! You're doing so awesome! NO WORRIES! You will have a ton of fun running w/ the BBK tomorrow! I think the storm is coming on Wed and Thu.

From RAD on Mon, Mar 29, 2010 at 17:25:04 from 67.172.229.125

Smooth, it's the wind as the pre-curser to the storm that worries me. Wind destroys little purple pansies in the spring! :)

Hey girlie, how do you do all that pregnant??? Be careful!!!! I hope you enjoy your new bed!

From Merri on Mon, Mar 29, 2010 at 19:34:03 from 160.7.252.148

Yeah that's awesome you're still running!!! I gave it up probably too early :)

From RAD on Tue, Mar 30, 2010 at 00:04:26 from 67.172.229.125

Leslie, 2 at a time isn't bad - especially if I have someone on the TM next to me. BBK day tomorrow may put me through the ringer! Oh, and LOVING the bed!

Merri, being 6 feet tall it's easier to keep the tummy small and run longer. One of the few perks of being an amazon :)

From Merri on Tue, Mar 30, 2010 at 00:07:54 from 160.7.252.148

ha ha but I don't think you are an amazon :) but I guess 6 ft is pretty tall.

From Nancy on Tue, Mar 30, 2010 at 06:00:36 from 76.27.19.206

I'm excited to see you. I'm sure you can still run faster than me. I have to be to work at 6am so I'll only see you if yo come to the early miles.

From The Quiet Pirate on Tue, Mar 30, 2010 at 09:28:58 from 24.199.205.252

Hope your BBK run was wonderful. Can't wait to hear about it.

Happy Days are Here Again!

From Michelle on Tue, Mar 30, 2010 at 09:47:46 from 71.218.114.99

Great work out. I know what you mean about feeling like you gained 50 pounds. Even adding a few pounds and a larger stomach makes it harder to run. Just think about how easy running will be after the baby! You will feel so light.

From Carolyn in Colorado on Tue, Mar 30, 2010 at 15:30:21 from 24.8.167.243

I'm sure you haven't gained 50 pounds. I bet you look fabulous. You continue to work out with the best of them. Amazing.
