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.

Acted more like a pregnant lady today :)

Some MINOR aches and pains (and allergies or a cold) are convincing me that it's okay to pull down the miles and cross-train. I did want to get in a few today, but they were easy! The boys were at Father's and Son's campout  so my daughter chose to come with me to early spin class and count laps on the track for me. It was fun to have her!

Spin class for an hour - it was a good one! I hate running hills, but in spin I prefer pushing hill climbs than sprints/intervals. Overheard a lady say she hopes I have this baby early so I stop pushing the entire spin class so hard! :) Makes me laugh!!

1/2 mile warm-up before spin then 2 miles with Becca afterward on the track. She kept me from slow 10mm, I think we were closer to 9mm. Either way it was good to chat and run with someone (even if it was painfully slow for her :) ).

After the gym I took my sweet girl to Kneaders for breakfast and we had cinnamon french toast and for any of you who have never been privy to such heaven-ness, let me tell you....mmmm!! I'm sure I more than replaced the 800 calories burned this morning!! EASY...oh so easy, like I said, I acted more like a pregnant lady today :) More eating and less exercising!

Kneaders sounds wonderful. I've never been there for breakfast. Great job on all the exercise. I think its good that you can cross train and maybe taper before you have the baby.

I can hardly wait till it's delivery day. I can just see you "running" to the hospital/delivery room and saying to the doctor that you wished it was just a little bit further away from your house so you cold have gotten in a little bit longer of a run. Keep up the good work Ms. RAD, your Awsome!

From Toby on Sat, May 22, 2010 at 21:45:09 from 216.194.124.36

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Kneaders - hence I never go there, cause I eat and eat! Great workout today. What a fun date with your daughter!

From Scott Wesemann on Sun, May 23, 2010 at 03:11:30 from 75.162.69.51

mmmmmmmm Kneaders! sounds like a fun date.

From Teena Marie on Sun, May 23, 2010 at 11:14:02 from 174.52.45.85

Sounds pretty terrific to me!!!

I have the stupid allergy/cold thing too! Dang!! I have had it since last Sunday and it is still here. Hope yours goes away quickly.

So does that woman in the spin class think that you'll not push hard after you have the baby? She doesn't know you very well, does she.

From RAD on Sun, May 23, 2010 at 12:25:15 from 67.172.229.125

Nancy, Kneaders is heavenly! Just be ready for a calorie load- I don't think they have anything that isn't over 1000 calories!!

Tom, I SO would run to the hospital...it's only about 5 miles away :) - one month count down!

Toby, it was definitely a once a year thing for sure! While the boys are away the girls MUST play :)

Scott, AMEN!!

Teena, what is it?!? I tell you I'm SO sick of being stuffed up - and being pregnant I can take NOTHING!! My face is starting to get sore, I'm afraid I'm getting a sinus infection from whatever it is! :(

Carolyn, that is what made me laugh so hard about it! If you think I'm kicking your trash now...just wait until I don't have to worry about the baby (while I work out anyway)! :) However, I'll be so busy with trying to 'cram' train for SGM, I probably wont make it to class :(

From Michelle on Mon, May 24, 2010 at 10:00:46 from 97.118.36.161

What a fun morning! I am glad you enjoyed a great breakfast. I have never been to Kneaders but have heard great things about it.

From The Quiet Pirate on Mon, May 24, 2010 at 11:37:42 from 24.199.205.252

RAD- Kneaders and breakfast with your little one...I'm so jealous.

I think you'll find that after you have the baby, you're already in such good shape that your SGM training will be easier than you'd imagined.
