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.

It took a lot of convincing this morning, but I did it! I got up AGAIN and ran outside. It was really hard after getting 6 hours straight of sleep, it's been a long time since that happened and I wanted to just keep sleeping :)

On my way out the door (it took me forever to get ready so I was a little behind as it was), hubby told me he was going to his office clear across town. This gave me 30 minutes to be back home :( So, I asked him if I could do at least 5 (I was planning my 7 mile route) and he said that would be fine. I guess this should've motivated me to run faster, but it didn't. Felt nice and comfortable the whole time - even on the hills. Took me a tad longer than anticipated, but meh...it's all good!

AP: 9:25 splits: 9:58, 9:11, 8:55, 9:14, 9:48

Some good splits in the middle. The whole back side of my R leg (hamstring area, especially up near the hip) feels like it's in a cramp or a torn muscle *blah* so it took a while to warm up. I will be stretching and rolling to get it out of me!!

Now I get to go off to the gym and if I'm luck do a killer workout with Kelli and Wendy!

***I was a little late, but caught Kelli and Wendy as they were just starting. They had a great workout and I'm glad I wasn't lazy and got up to do my miles so I could do it with them and not watch them! All major muscle groups some sets with the ball, which is always fun.

I got called away in the middle for a diaper change, and as luck would have it I'd brought the diaper changer bag  IN to the gym so I didn't have to go outside. Hahaha, just kidding...no diapers inside, just wipes and diaper bags - nice! I begged the only other person with a baby there for diapers so I didn't have to go home or to the store and buy some, she was nice enough to let me use one even though SHE had to go out to her car and get it.

So, I finished up the workout then did the stuff I'd missed and added some ab's on to the end then did 30 min on the elliptical @ L15 = 2.95 miles, SO close!

Good workout today, I'm ready now to tackle Saturday and hopefully get a full good week in next week! Onward and Upward***

Great job getting up and out. It's so hard to be motivated to run on these cold dark mornings, but I'm always glad when I do.

Nice work getting outside cutie!

(Especially nice job swiping the diaper!)

Have a great weekend! :)

Diaper Dandy Devine - half diaper will travel, with wipes. I am sure we all have diaper changing stories, most of them messy and stinky, with some crying (baby or diaper changer)

Nice workout, Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out
