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.

Had a great run this morning. Got up not too early and did my 7 mile loop again. I'm really starting to like that course :) Now for another day of pampering the boy...he woke up NOT happy, today may not be as good as yesterday!

AP:  8:48 splits: 9:13, 8:19, 8:21, 8:48, 9:24, 9:27, 8:05

okay, just saw splits and I'm so happy that my uphill miles were 30 sec faster than Monday. The run felt a TON better, I didn't realize I was running a 30 sec faster AP either. Ahhh, what a couple of rest days can do for you!! I'm ready to tackle 18 tomorrow!

Great job on the run. Good luck with your 18 tomorrow.

From Carolyn in Colorado on Fri, Aug 07, 2009 at 10:52:15 from 24.8.167.243

So does your boy have paper all over him now? Sorry. I couldn't resist. I assume you're really pampering him.

Great running today.

lol!!! Okay...looks like I'm in need of some editing. Too bad I can't just wrap him up for the next few days, it would be easier :)

From RivertonPaul on Fri, Aug 07, 2009 at 11:57:41 from 67.42.27.114

Good dealio.

From Leandra on Fri, Aug 07, 2009 at 13:14:50 from 67.41.235.172

Nice pace and I love making up new routes that turn out to be good! I just made up a 5k route that I'm really lovin.

From allie on Fri, Aug 07, 2009 at 13:20:47 from 208.54.15.75

nice work. have fun on your 18-miler tomorrow.

From Brent on Fri, Aug 07, 2009 at 13:48:23 from 66.7.127.219

Devine Miss M - good to see you back in the saddle, have a good long run.

Stay Kool, B of BS rools out

From Bec on Fri, Aug 07, 2009 at 14:23:42 from 67.177.35.60

Good workout RAD. You are good to go! Enjoy your day. Sounds like I won't be seeing you on my h-run tomorrow? Get those 18 in :)

From RAD on Fri, Aug 07, 2009 at 14:44:32 from 76.27.12.70

Thanks Paul!

Leandra, new routes are always fun! I was just thinking this morning how I need another one or two new ones as well.

Allie, thanks - I'll try my best :)

Brent, it's good to be back.

Bec, don't count me out yet! Still deciding....

From Smooth on Fri, Aug 07, 2009 at 14:55:23 from 71.36.83.20

SO HAPPY you got in a nice PR 7 miler and on a newly discovered route. Hope little David feels better soon. The next day post-op is the worst...I'm sure your pampering will make him feel a ton better.

Good luck on your 18 miler. I'm doing mine on the Lehi JRP. I opted out of Provo River 1/2 this year. I have had enough of that crazy race.

From RAD on Fri, Aug 07, 2009 at 16:28:50 from 76.27.12.70

Smooth, I'm deciding whether or not do run 7 up to the race then down the 13; or do JRP....

From Smooth on Fri, Aug 07, 2009 at 16:34:49 from 71.36.83.20

Come do JRP. If you choose to run Provo. Do NOT do it same time as the race. It is madness, downright dangerous!

From Kelli on Fri, Aug 07, 2009 at 16:39:07 from 71.219.94.65

Nice work Rachel! Gotta love it when you do better on the same course, that is what this is all about!!!

I did not want to tell you yesterday that he would crash and burn after the medication was all worn off. Sorry!!! But tomorrow will be better. Just give him lots of popsicles and keep the pain medicine in him.

Did I tell you that Ashly actually ate a taco on the way home from the hospital after getting her tonsils out??? They feel nothing for a few hours!!!!

Have a good day. Do you think you might be able to get away for a run tomorrow?

From RAD on Fri, Aug 07, 2009 at 18:17:39 from 76.27.12.70

Smooth, are you serious? It's that bad? My SIL is doing it for her 1st one. Maybe I will join you if it's crazy...is it on the trail the RHPC was on?

Kelli, he is doing better now, as long as the meds stay in, he's good. He actually still wants to go outside and play. I will go run tomorrow. After Smooth's comment I may be joining you guys!

From Leandra on Fri, Aug 07, 2009 at 18:28:18 from 67.41.235.172

Yeah Smooth, I wanna hear how bad it is. My plan for tomorrow was to run 5.5 up Provo and then back down again and I wanted to start around 6:30 so i probably will get caught in the race pack.

From Shelly on Sat, Aug 08, 2009 at 00:02:03 from 24.10.160.70

Great Job! You are getting so strong. You should be proud of yourself. Good Luck tomorrow whatever you decide to do. Run a couple of miles for me :)
