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.

Total Distance

0.00

I think I'll try a few miles tomorrow, but my little aches haven't completely subsided so I don't want to push anything.

Woke up to a full fledged snow storm this morning!! UGGHHH!! I now have to replant tomatoes for the 2nd time this spring - REALLY?!? What is the deal? I'm SO done with cold weather!! Not only was it snowing, but I totally forgot about my daughter's ortho apt and got all 3 kids and I up and out in 15 minutes to get here there! However, when I got there they said her apt was in 2 weeks...not this morning. Wow, I'm really loosing it! They said it wasn't a big deal and could get me in anyway, so she was late to school for the waiting, but we got it done.

Because of the late apt I'd missed 1/2 of the step class so I re-vamped my workout plan for the morning . Besides, the step teacher had her baby Friday (like 2 weeks early - SO NOT FAIR!) and I'm sure it wouldn't have been as good as I would've liked.

Elliptical 60 min @ L6 - 5 miles total and HR was up 150+ the whole time

TM walking 10% grade @ 3mph for 30 min.

Now I think I'm going to get started on the boys room...clean and paint. I've got to get some of this 'baby' stuff done, time is going WAY too fast!!

You know what they say about procrastination...

From RAD on Mon, May 24, 2010 at 14:22:46 from 67.172.229.125

No...I've never heard! Maybe you can tell me tomorrow? :)

From Burt on Mon, May 24, 2010 at 14:28:19 from 206.19.214.144

I can't. I don't know what they say. I was hoping you did.

From RAD on Mon, May 24, 2010 at 14:35:52 from 67.172.229.125

maybe we can figure it out next week?

From Burt on Mon, May 24, 2010 at 14:55:10 from 206.19.214.144

That sounds delightful. LOL!

From Brent on Mon, May 24, 2010 at 15:07:13 from 168.178.30.194

Devine Miss M - Hard Core, more apple core - maybe you baby is telling you something? 150 HR for 90 minutes on an elip, tough workout.

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

Yes, hot tubs

From Kelli on Mon, May 24, 2010 at 15:07:14 from 71.219.93.114

Good luck with the painting!! It was nice chatting with you at the end this morning, helped the last miles to be pleasant!

Hey, your baby might be early, too. You will run that baby right out of you. I do agree, Heidi's classes are the best, no one else even compares.

From RAD on Mon, May 24, 2010 at 15:28:15 from 67.172.229.125

Brent, I'm trying to remember that I have another body that is dependent on me and my 'aching' body as well. Running bug is just too strong sometimes!

Kelli, I'd like to hope I could labor myself, but my past history disagrees with me :( However, I've never run through a pregnancy before, so we'll see! Just not too early...I do want a happy healthy baby! At least 2-3 more weeks! I'm REALLY going to miss Heidi!

From Burt on Mon, May 24, 2010 at 15:31:42 from 206.19.214.144

No hot tubs for pregnant women.

So you're not the only crazy workout lady at that gym? Was that woman teach step class in the morning and then deliver her baby in the afternoon?

Please don't send your snow here. It would all blow away anyway.

From Kelli on Mon, May 24, 2010 at 16:20:35 from 71.219.93.114

Heidi totally would have done that! She would probably just give birth during intermission and then come back and finish the class.

From kccowart on Mon, May 24, 2010 at 17:06:20 from 71.195.242.175

Just curious. Is this Heidi at 24 Hour Fitness? I teach there too. Taught a spin class 6 hours before I found myself holding my youngest daughter. Instructors are kinda crazy like that!

From Kelli on Mon, May 24, 2010 at 19:03:33 from 71.219.93.114

I know she used to be at 24 hour fitness, not sure if she still is but I think YES.

From The Quiet Pirate on Mon, May 24, 2010 at 21:06:07 from 65.191.108.72

Sorry about your tomato plants.

I wish the next 3 weeks would fly by, and you're hoping for more time to get things done. I wish I could give you my long drawn out days that never seem to end...I'll take your days that go by too quickly.

From RAD on Tue, May 25, 2010 at 00:16:45 from 67.172.229.125

Carolyn, nope - I've got company/competition there :) Oh...and the snow is gone - hope it blows away!! :)

KC, I agree with Kelli - I think it is, and spin 6 hours prior to birth. Now that's my kind of day!! :)

QP- It may only be 3/5 of the plants...I'll do final checks on Friday to see how they all fared. Please do switch me days! However, I do need to sleep in - none of the 4AM stuff you do :)

From KP on Tue, May 25, 2010 at 09:48:25 from 65.208.22.26

first of all - rest! you will be popping out baby fartlek in a month!

secondly - are you supposed to paint when pregnant?

third - nice workout!

From Michelle on Tue, May 25, 2010 at 10:00:52 from 97.118.36.161

Good luck with getting all of the baby stuff ready. I don't think we are getting your snow, at least not today and I hope it stays that way.

From DonGardinero on Tue, May 25, 2010 at 14:25:37 from 75.162.179.76

Don't stress!!! Things will get done.

From RAD on Tue, May 25, 2010 at 14:43:58 from 67.172.229.125

Kp, I'm trying to rest :) really, I am! Yeah, painting is fine - except the backache afterward!

Michelle, I hope you don't get the snow! The baby stuff is all here...it's just a matter of digging it out of the pit/basement :)

Dale, I sure hope so!!
