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.

BBK day today! It was hard, I'm not going to lie. This morning at my doctor's apt she described running pregnant as "running trying to push a jogging stroller with a 40 pound child, and a corset tied around your ribs". VERY accurate! 

It did feel good to get out and run with friends, chatting and enjoying the morning! We did a 1.5 mile warm-up, then 3 one mile loops (those wanting a workout did speed for .7 of it then recovered .3 - NOT me!), then the same 1.5 back to the parking lot.

AP: 9:30 splits: 9:20, 9:16, 9:28, 9:29, 9:28, 10:00 (this last mile had the horrible hill that I was dreading the whole way back to the lot!).

Hit the gym for total body class - it was tough, but not as bad as it is sometimes!

Finished off with 30 min on the elliptical @ L8.

Hubby picked me up at the gym and we went to the docs. Only 1.5 pounds this last month - YAY! but it feels like 20 :) Happy hiccuping baby boy, still. Did the glucose test and not eating all morning then drinking that crud almost made me throw up after about 45 minutes - yuck! Doctor told me to keep on running! Just don't push to barf-zone, watch for joint injury/pain, over-heating and getting sunburns easily when I do run in the sun. Cleared medically for SLC 1/2 which is the best news :)

You are one tough Chick for running a half while preggo! Go YOU!

Great news all around! Congratulations!

Toby, I'll probably earn myself a personal best in LONGEST time, but if I can shuffle through I'll be happy!

Carolyn, thanks - it's always nice to feel good and get good news :)

YAY for doc's okay to run SLC 1/2. Hey! your prego pace is my normal pace! :-O You're one fast, strong momma!

From KP on Wed, Mar 31, 2010 at 09:16:43 from 65.208.22.25

You are nuts! But, I admire your determination. I'm very glad to hear all the good news! Not too long until hiccupping baby boy is here!

From The Quiet Pirate on Wed, Mar 31, 2010 at 09:29:51 from 24.199.205.252

Hooray for all your good news & good running.

From Michelle on Wed, Mar 31, 2010 at 09:50:09 from 71.218.114.99

I'm glad your running is going well! You just can't get enough exercise can you. I would call a 6 mile run good for a day but you add body building and the elliptical. You must have tons of energy to pull that off every day!

From Nancy on Wed, Mar 31, 2010 at 18:30:47 from 76.27.19.206

You did a great job at running group. I'm sorry I couldn't stay but I'll be there Thursday and if I'm lucky I might be able to keep up with you.

Wow! Great run!!! That's so great everything is going well with your pregnancy and you are cleared to run the SL half. With my ITB issues, we may be crossing the finish line at the same time! That would be great to ride together. My brother is driving down the night before and will drive and I think there is a girl in my ward that wants to come too. I don't think we'll be coming straight home after the race though. Is your hubby going to be at the finish line?
