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.

kick-boxing class wasn't the best decision today. ITB at the injection site is pretty sore today, had a hard time sleeping last night with the pain - should've taken something. I guess I just never realized how much jumping/balancing/twisting/lunging we do in kick-boxing, didn't really get a good workout in, well cardio wise. Then I did ab's class wow...that was tough today. 

Already getting sad I have to put goose eggs up for mileage....can't WAIT until Saturday!!! :)

Don't worry about the goose egg. You'll be back at it soon enough. Maybe you should just sleep in and take it easy for a couple of days.

Okay girl, what is going on Saturday? Sorry to hear about the ITB, seems like the whole blog has either ITB issues or PF issues, dang it all to heck!

I'm sorry you couldn't run and that your kickboxing hurt a little. Saturday will come soon.

Carolyn, Friday I'm thinking I'll take a null all around...I've got a Halloween party at school.

Leslie, Saturday is when I can run again. I'm doing our stake 5K and a 5 mile pumpkin run out here in Herriman.

Nancy, Thanks...it can't come soon enough! I'll miss you tomorrow, but see you next Tuesday!

Does that mean you're not running with Lowell? GOOD LUCK with all your 5Ks! WOW!

From RAD on Wed, Oct 21, 2009 at 23:56:50 from 76.27.12.70

Smooth, I would really like to, but I've signed up for the 5 miler at 10:00 (money paid) and so I feel I need to do that, but after the cortizone shot the doc thought that 6-8 back on Saturday would probably be a good limit. So, I'd come do some early miles with you guys, but I guess I'm kind of stuck :( I REALLY wish it was next week!!! Maybe I can meet up with you all afterward? I'd LOVE to see you and Lowell.

K, we'll keep in touch!

Man that IT band is a killer. I've been reading the "Lore of Running" which has a whole chapter about biomechanics and trying to find the cause of injuries. They make a lot of suggestion that shoes and orthodics can rememdy biomechanical falires. I don't know, but I'm sure there is good information out there about finding out why your IT is bad and what, besides healing it may be causing the problem. Injury is the only negative aspect of running. I hope it get's better, but I know that IT issue is a long road.
