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.

Did kick-boxing 1/2 effort this morning. Mostly the cardio, no squats or lunges. It was kind of fun to sit back and not 'kick' my guts out :)

Then to waste the last 40 min of daycare time I did the recumbant bike at nearly no resistance for 6 miles then stretched, stretched and stretched some more. Lots of water and good nutrition - I am committed!!!

oh, BTW - my sister finally set up her blog - feel free to send her a welcome from all of the cool people on the blog :)  she's the quiet pirate - charmaigne.fastrunningblog.com

GOOD JOB!!! You're following the stretch and hydration commando. Looks like everything's in order. Carb-load well, make a check-list for your race gear and bag. Enjoy the next couple days. Get plenty of rest and sleep. Did Lowell email you? I have a feeling you're gonna do FANTASTIC!!!

From RAD on Wed, May 13, 2009 at 17:22:01 from 67.166.99.8

Smooth - Yes, I got Lowell's email and yours as well!! I am excited for Ogden, but really bummed you won't be there - however I completely understand!!

From Kelli on Wed, May 13, 2009 at 17:22:50 from 71.219.89.83

Good job! I knew I could not NOT do class today, so I opted to stay home.

Thanks for reminding me, I need to go drink some more.

From RAD on Wed, May 13, 2009 at 17:26:06 from 67.166.99.8

Kelli- class wasn't as bad as it sometimes can be. Plus when you have an excuse to not bust your guts its fun to watch other people suffer :) hehehe, I guess that's my dark side.

From Kelli on Wed, May 13, 2009 at 17:33:19 from 71.219.89.83

I my sweet side just does not want people to suffer alone!!!

Totally kidding---it is more the competitive side that will not be beat. Tell no one I admitted that!

From RAD on Wed, May 13, 2009 at 17:49:05 from 67.166.99.8

Oh, so thats why you'll always run so slow with us? To make us think your sweet and nice when really its an evil plot to beat us all!! :)

From Bec on Wed, May 13, 2009 at 17:52:34 from 205.123.38.151

Rad,

You are an evil girl. Watching people suffer? HEHE, I love it. I can be the same way. During my workout classes I always think, "that person can push harder." I am just plain old mean.

Girl you don't have very long until your race. You are within the most critical resting and carb-loading period. ENJOY!

From RAD on Wed, May 13, 2009 at 18:07:01 from 67.166.99.8

yeah...I may be taking the carb-loading too seriously :)

From Kelli on Wed, May 13, 2009 at 18:29:34 from 71.219.89.83

NA---carb loading is what it is all about! I do not know if it really helps, but it is a great excuse.

And, yes, now you know the REAL ME!!!

From RAD on Wed, May 13, 2009 at 22:57:29 from 67.166.99.8

I'm excited to get to see the 'real' kelli come out at Ogden - I think you should beat Scott again!! :)

From Brent on Thu, May 14, 2009 at 08:39:34 from 168.178.30.75

Devine Miss M - what is the carbo of choice? Have fun at Ogden. By the way, how will I recognize you and K-Power? Are you wearing matching pink?

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

From quiet pirate on Thu, May 14, 2009 at 11:22:26 from 24.199.205.252

RAD- do you want me to tell him what you'll be fueling up on, or are you still going to save that surprise for the big day?

Just don't be like Alice and get lost in the rabbit hole.

Have fun!

From RAD on Thu, May 14, 2009 at 17:20:28 from 67.166.99.8

QP- Don't give away my secrets!! Thats how I've gotten so fast so quick :) I just hope I don't see any racoons, they might pose an 'unforseen' problem!

Brent- Last night it was icecream, the day before it was skittles. Hopefully today I can get some good ones in :)

From Smooth on Thu, May 14, 2009 at 17:22:52 from 71.36.74.243

GOOD LUCK Rachel! You're gonna be a star!!! Can't wait to hear all about it!!!

From RAD on Thu, May 14, 2009 at 17:24:39 from 67.166.99.8

Oh, Brent I don't know what Kelli will be wearing she'll be a good 20+ minutes ahead of me. I'm going the black route this race: black skirt, custom black t-shirt that on the back says "26.2 Virgin" and a pink visor.

Are you or Sylvie running?

From Kelli on Thu, May 14, 2009 at 20:10:53 from 71.219.89.37

You had a shirt made??? COOL!!! You will not only rock the course, you will look great doing it!

I have not planned my wardrobe yet. Black shorts, black Adidas visor (the adidas part is pink) and probably a black or pink shirt---I wear the same uniform every time!

From RAD on Fri, May 15, 2009 at 10:47:15 from 67.166.99.8

Kelli, I didn't have a shirt made...I made it :) I just bought a tech shirt and put some iron-on letters on it. The poor man's custom tee!
