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.

Another morning run with my neighbor. She seemed a lot stronger today than she has in the past, with no stopping at all. It's fun to see such progress! 3.3 miles @ AP: 9:50

Took off on my own not knowing what to do this morning or how long to go. I could tell my legs have a bit of fatigue in them, so I just ran comfortable the whole time and didn't push the pace. Ended up doing a 10K loop with 2 miles downhill, 3 miles up, then the last 1.2 down. Good course with lots of good training hills :)

AP: 9:12 splits: 9:04, 8:53, 9:44, 9:49, 9:35, 8:17, 8:35 (last .2)

Actually saw 3 other runners out today, must be the 20 degree heat wave we had this morning :)

Now I'm off to yoga and I'm determined to keep the computer off the rest of the day...yeah, good luck!

Nice miles this morning. The temps actually felt really good today. I was SWEATING! You need to join us on Wire.

Loved this morning. As you can tell I have a hard time staying off this darn machine too!

From Shelly on Thu, Jan 13, 2011 at 21:42:42 from 67.166.68.81

Nice run! I like those runs when I'm not sure how far I'm going to go. You are a great neighbor

From Toby on Thu, Jan 13, 2011 at 22:01:37 from 66.133.97.196

Hooray for you and getting out there!

From Smooth on Thu, Jan 13, 2011 at 22:22:07 from 67.232.119.27

YAY!!! Heat wave!!! We're complaining how cold it is here...it's 48 today! Silly us!

NICE run Rachel, check out that 8:17. Someday I'll run a 8:17 mile...may be downhill! :)

From Teena Marie on Thu, Jan 13, 2011 at 22:42:08 from 67.2.113.131

So ... I'm interested: How did the computer goal turn out?

Scott, I've got to get myself to Wire! I will do it some morning...I will!

Carina, I was getting guilt over being a bad 'off-track' mother and spending more time with you guys than my kids :)

Shelly, Honestly this morning I wish I wouldn't have had a time limit to get back home for hubby to leave for work, I probably would've added a couple miles more.

Toby, I love it - once I'm out and feeling good :)

Smooth, I know - crazy that 20 feels nearly tropical! Oh, and that 8:17 WAS downhill :)

Teena, I did it! There were a couple times before we left for the aquarium and library that I wanted to get on and just check, but I knew it would lead to an hour or more of nothing. So, I resisted and was a good involved mother today! :) I can be on now, because the kids are at Grandmas (except baby of course) having a sleep over. I got to go with Craig to a fancy work dinner at Ruth's Chris. Mmmmmm....steak is good, but their broiled tomatoes taste like CANDY! Dessert was all right too :)

Oh Allie, it will get cold again...just hang on a little while longer :)
