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.

Decided to skip spin class. I didn't want to push my legs that hard...especially after yesterday's climb fest.

So, I did the spin bike on the track and just read for an hour at a good flat/cadence. Sweaty goodness, but not overdone. I hope.

I hate figuring out how to taper for an ironman. What am I supposed to do for x-training, but to keep my HR up and the legs fresh. stink. I'll probably figure it out...next week! :)

EEEEk I cannot believe your HIM is this weekend. I am so excited for you! I have no idea how to taper so don't ask me.

Carina, oh I'm SO not feeling like Superwoman lately!

Preston, HA! okay...I won't :)

Smooth, I wish you could be there!! Then I wouldn't be so nervous and could just relax on the run with you.

Dale, yeah, yeah...sleep is over-rated :)

Nancy, Just a half Iron man. A full would take a LOT more iron!! :)

Rachelle, yes - it is going to be SO hot! We run last and I should be starting the 13.1 run around 11AM due to wave starts on the swim. BLECH! I'm going to need bags and bags of ice! :)

I read flat/cadence as flatulence. I was confused. I'm tired. Haha.
