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.

Ate like a cow yesterday...I figured calories don't count on Mother's day :) However, I think they just got transported to today! I went to bed and woke up with swollen fingers, wrists and ankles. I will be drinking TONS of water today to get whatever it is out!

Went to step class this morning and it was another good class! I kept moving and was sweating all over my bench, it's good to get some cross training it.

Then I hit the TM where I was really feeling the binging yesterday...I swear I'm carrying an extra 10 pounds now! 3.1 miles AP of 9:40 and the last .1 was at my top TM speed 8:57mm. Walked about 5 minutes cool down. When I was finishing up that .10 I finally started to feel a groove - I've decided it was because Kelli had come out of class and I had some company :)

SO tired now... I will be taking a nap to function today!

you need an extra 10 pounds so that you actually look pregnant!

From RAD on Mon, May 10, 2010 at 14:51:32 from 67.172.229.125

lol! Oh KP, I tell you - if it was on my gut it would be one thing, but I still only gain weight in my hips and thighs :)

Devine - always feels better when the rock star makes an appearance. Happy mom's day the day after. Your only carrying an extra 10. I hate step classes, they are for sissie! (It is like yoga, if you can't do it, say it is for sissies) Nice work.

I love naps. I hope you get one.

From MrsFIT on Mon, May 10, 2010 at 16:38:23 from 205.127.241.18

If all your carrying around is an extra 10 lbs. @ 7.5 months that's AMAZING!!!!

From RAD on Mon, May 10, 2010 at 16:42:50 from 67.172.229.125

Brent, yeah...step class is for sissies :) However, I like it. Gives my brain a workout as well! Thanks for the mom's day wishes and yes, Kelli always makes a workout better!

Carolyn, I'm workin' on it - I just need to get off the computer :)

Mrs, oh no...I've gained just over 20 through the pregnancy (so far...), the extra 10 is on top of that from this weekend's eating festivities!!

From Smooth on Mon, May 10, 2010 at 16:45:28 from 174.23.172.155

You deserve Mother's Day calories. Can't believe all the workout you do. I'm sure you'll loose all that water weight after today's humongous workout. Hope you got your nap in.

From Merri on Mon, May 10, 2010 at 20:08:24 from 160.7.252.148

I always feel like water will flush anything out. :) Good job on all the working out. I'm on bed rest :( (well kinda I don't follow doctors orders as well as I should)

From Nancy on Mon, May 10, 2010 at 20:44:05 from 76.27.19.206

It's okay if you eat all you want on Mother's Day because it only comes once a year. Hope you had a nice one. I sure did. Great job with all the exercise.
