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.

Still not feeling up to 'snuff' or even enough to show my 'snot face' at the gym. Too many people might spray me with the disinfectant spray mistaking me for a big germ! 

Using shoveling piles of snow for my calorie burners...not that I'm getting to take in more than 600-800 calories per day. I'm sure if I could actually eat I might be able to kick this cold and feel like I can run again :)

I've become a horrible little snot faced troll that doesn't go outside! After med's starting Wednesday night, I'm starting to at least open the blinds and move around a little in this cave of mine. I nearly talked myself into going to the gym this morning, but decided what little energy I have should be spent on folding the MOUNTAIN of laundry (I don't think anyone has any clothes left in their dressers/closets!) and cleaning the house. Priorities, priorities. REALLY looking forward to getting out tomorrow though - I will, oh yes...I will!! (even if it's only to get the apple pie caramel apple from RMCF I've been craving like CRAZY!!)

I did it! I did it! I got out and ran!! I can finally say I'm a runner again. I've turned from a snot faced troll to a snot faced runner :) It was stupid of me NOT to bring a whole BOX of tissues with me, but that's what gloves and sleeves are for, right? 

It was nice and easy, and with about 1/2 inch of powdery snow newly fallen a little slippery. I just did the stake 5K loop, then picked up Lucy and did a flat 1 mile to get her out and finish off.

The first mile was downhill and I saw 2 sets of footprints from other runners, entertained myself for a bit thinking about who it could be. Then the 2nd mile I saw 3 sets of footprints, imagined running with them (although the prints were going the wrong way) and remembered the last time I'd run that loop with Kelli and how I miss my running buddies! This mile and the next were all UPHILL and about 2.5-3.5 were on unplowed neighborhood streets that made the going MUCH slower, but I felt a steady effort. Just before finishing 3 I got my final downhill and finished at my house at 3.25. When I took Lucy, it was on a busier neighborhood street so it was all plowed and I didn't have to run in the snow. I was finally able to run a descent pace again. I'm honestly really embarrassed that I had over 10 mm, but I guess I shouldn't expect too much after how I've been feeling!

AP: 9:55 splits: 9:42, 10:22, 10:07, 9:34, 9:38 (.25)

Well, I'm just happy to be out again and ready to get back at it next week! Today I am grateful for modern medicine and Zofran that has allowed me to eat some these past few days!
