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 with the WBR team this morning! They really are a fun group of people...I can hardly wait! I went early to get some extra miles in, I really wanted to see where my ITB would take me.  The first 6 miles were from Harmons, up to Daybreak lake around the lake and back down; AP: 7:59 (I had to push the pace because I'd gotten there late and was afraid I'd get left for the next run!). Then we again drove out to Copperton and ran back to Harmons, with a break stop at mile 6. The last 4 miles back were of course the best, I just love running down the big Daybreak hill, beautiful flowers and nice downhill...ahhhhh!

AP for the full run was 8:18. Splits: 9:01, 8:13, 7:58, 7:52, 7:33, 7:17, 8:42, 7:59, 8:53, 9:00, 8:09, 8:02, 8:33, 9:01, 8:10, 8:21.

Nice run and thankfully no ITB pain...I did tape it as well, but I was afraid because of the increased mileage. Happy that I was able to get that far with no pain!! Left calf is tight, stretching will again take up a great piece of my weekend :)

Great run Rachael. I like your skydiving picture.

From Shelly on Sun, Jun 07, 2009 at 01:16:54 from 76.27.55.22

WOW! 16 miles at an AP of 8:18- that's impressive. I'm glad to here your ITB is doing well. You are one speedy girl- way to go!

Did you decide on a leg for the Wasatch Back? When does your team start?

From RAD on Sun, Jun 07, 2009 at 01:28:18 from 67.166.99.8

My team starts at 10:15 and I am leg #9 - are you running?

From Shelly on Sun, Jun 07, 2009 at 01:35:50 from 76.27.55.22

I am. My team starts at 1:30 and I am the first leg.

From RAD on Sun, Jun 07, 2009 at 01:38:56 from 67.166.99.8

wow...you've got a FAST team! From what I understand the later your starting time the faster you're anticipated to finish. That will be neat to be the first runner and get the start line! I'm sure I'll see you in passing - well as you pass us :)

From Cal on Sun, Jun 07, 2009 at 02:26:30 from 76.27.9.237

Great mileage and pace for the day Rachel.

You'll have a blast at WBR. (Your last leg will be way tough, but rewarding.)

From Brent on Sun, Jun 07, 2009 at 10:01:35 from 76.8.201.223

Devine Miss M - good to see you recovered from the marathon, happy days.

Looking forward to the WBR race report.

Great run! You are going to ROCK!!! :)

From Bec on Sun, Jun 07, 2009 at 21:06:34 from 67.177.35.60

GREAT pace speedster! You are improving weekly.

From Smooth on Mon, Jun 08, 2009 at 00:25:55 from 71.32.239.83

AWESOME run, check out your pace and mileage. YAY for NO ITB pain. You're gonna do awesome and have so much fun at WBR. I just found out from our team captain that the guy running #9 had a knee injury requiring surgery. I emailed Lowell to see if you can fill in. He is getting back to me on that next week. Our team, Runaholics Uanymous starts at 1:00.

From RAD on Mon, Jun 08, 2009 at 00:53:02 from 67.166.99.8

Smooth, ooohhh, I'd love to try to 'run against' Lowell! How fun. I've really grown to love that guy! He reminds me a lot of my late father, I told him he gets to be my filler father while he's still here. He graciously accepted :)
