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.

No running...inspection for the basement scheduled at 9:00, thought I could take off after that, but they didn't show up until 10:00 and then I had to get stuff for the basement done, because Craig is doing all the electrical...blech. Anyway, No run today.

Tuesday 10. Nice to be back at it. No watch today, I forgot it. I was around a 1:25 though, if I remember correctly. Not fabulous, but getting some of it back. Discussed basement stuff...it is on the brain :)

TM time again. The track at least breaks it up a little. Things seem to be coming back to speed for me. Not a ton, but a little. Nice to have Amy there too!

My friend got me into this race free...yay! It was nice to see lots of friends there. I rode with Kristy, Jessica, Tonia and Derek and Lauren. Lauren and Kristy decided to bandit the 5K. I sent my water bottle with Lauren so that she would utilize any of the race stuff. Met Paul and Tiff there and ran into Brett Bawden, an old friend from HS.

Paul ran the full 10K with me, dragging my sorry slow butt around. It is sad when you can barely maintain MP during a 10K. It is a good course though and I might target it as a race next year!

When we finished we went back and I ran in Jessica on the 10K and then just kept going back and forth on the last 1/2 mile running in friends as I came across them. I ended up with an extra 3 miles just enjoying running people in! A great time on a chilly morning. Even got home in time to get the turkey in the oven!

Shaggy Mountain loop with Kim and Chad. I wanted Amy to come, but her hubby had to work today...stink! We were going to do the extended loop, but Kim had a cold that was slowing him down and had suffered through a half yesterday, so we cut it to the normal one. It was a good run! 1:15

Lake Mountain!

Becoming a Thanksgiving weekend tradition. There was more snow and it was fun to hang with Jen and Kendall and others that we met there. Chad, Amy and I drove down and met them. What a great group of people! I was, of course, the back of the pack on the way up. I suck at hills. That is all. Then, I started back down early with Amy, because I know I'm a pansy on that first steep downhill mile. But, after that I was able to open it up and let it go. I'd guess I was low 7's, but my lovely watch died...so I have no idea. I really need a new battery.

I was impressed my legs weren't sore! I felt the fatigue, but knew I'd make it through without too much soreness...ha! Just kidding said Sunday and Monday morning :) At least it was better than last year, improvement is all we need, right?
