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.

Well, it's not nothing, but it's not all good either :( 

I got up early for spin class and she did a really good workout this morning. A good 15 min hill climb, then pushed us to the end of the class instead of slacking towards the end like some teachers do. 

Ran out of class to the ARC and did 30 minutes 1.52 miles @ L35; takes a while to get going after spin class - legs are just dead.

I'd been waiting and waiting and I finally got to change my shoes and hop on the TM. Rob's TM was looking particularly lonely this morning and so I chose to work it out. 2% incline and 8:34 (7.0 mph) and just one mile...just one! Not too much, just test it out....just a test. Oh how wonderful it felt to be back into the running groove. Only problem is I had a bit of a continual quad ache; however, it wasn't what was bothering me before. The pain has moved down the femur about 6-8 inches. CRUD! REALLY?!? UGGGHH! I don't know if this is because the femoral 'shin splints' are moving down or what, I'm just kind of bugged. So, my 2 week call into the PT got made and we'll see what he says. The good thing is this really seems to be more muscular where the other one was a DEEP ache, I don't know...I just want it to all go away!!!

Off to yoga momentarily to unwind and rejuvenate!

That's not good. I feel your frustration. Keep up the tough cross training and don't be like me and quit doing it because it's boring.

I'm sorry I hope you can run pain free soon.
