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.

Okay, well I've finally done it! Way to start out a new year. Kelli, after your pleadings to join I finally did and I loved reading the blog, then actually finding the names of the people that I ran with this morning, since I couldn't ask you and I was horrible at remembering the names anyway. I think this is a great way to track what I do and keep up with others! It is late and I need to hit the gym tomorrow (especially now that I have the sleep counter working!). Loved the run this morning, just not the wind and cold...my knees didn't like it. Looks like Saturday's weather will keep me at the Oval! All others on the BBK that Lucy and I have ran with please bring yourself to my attention, because I think the cold shakes on the way home before the warm bath completely froze my brain and I can't remember names. Hope to run many long, fun and inspirational runs with you all, if I can keep up with my measly 9 min miles! But, no where to go but up (or down if your getting technical), right?

Today has been a mix of ups and downs. I did Lisa's body building class and my normal hour with Mike (my trainer), so I felt really good about my workout even though no 'mileage' was clocked. Then, I got a great lunch date with Steph at Chick-fil-a. A great healthy meal inspite of the small fry and few licks of icecream that I had. However, this is where the good ends and my stress starts. Stupid phones! My cell phone decided to stop working this morning so I thought it wouldn't be a big deal since it was under warranty to get it replaced. Boy was I wrong, long story short after an hour and a half of running from Herriman to West Jordan and all around twice including waiting in who knows how many lines for who knows how long I finally found out that no one in the state of Utah had my replacement phone and that I could get it "overnighted" and recieve it by Tuesday or Wednesday. HMMM?!? Is this confusing anyone else? Well, with the stress of that and trying to get ready for Lauren's baptism in the morning I got home and had to have a piece of chocolate and instead of making my chicken and veggies like I was planning scarfed down a belgin waffle with syrup....MMMM! So, I guess I'll start again tomorrow. I also will try to run evening at the oval if anyone is interested.....anyone, anyone, anyone?
