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.

Good choice, I think speed work is just as much mental as physical for sure. Good job getting the miles in :)

Nicely done! I remember you telling me you had issues with your IT band...what did you do to get rid of it?

Devine - do you like the pool? Easy/hard work at the same time. Good call on speed, do it another day.

Stay Kool, B of BS rools out

If I ran 6 miles as fast as you I would drown if I tried to swim after. Nice job.

Carina, yeah it just was NOT there this morning!

Toby, are you having ITB issues? it is NOT fun. Honestly, it was getting pregnant that finally cured me :( I can send you a laundry list of things that greatly helped though. Send me a PM with what is going on and I'll give you specifics.

Brent, pool is a nice easy/hard at the end of a run. Feel like it is helping hip flexor and core strength too from the kicking.

Nancy, luckily I usually do cool down for a few minutes and then go to the pool and change. Usually takes about 20 min. between the two.
