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.

No miles...I wanted to sleep this morning :) I did make it to kick-boxing which was another AWESOME workout. I really like it, because we work so much side to side as opposed to forward, I feel like new muscles are exhausted! Then I did my ITB stuff and hit the last 10 minutes of ab's class then stretched like a mad woman again. I think I'm going to hit the pool for long course laps this evening when the kids swim, just feeling a swim vibe today :)

Can someone please tell me why although I'm logged in I can't post any comments??? I'm really frustrated!

*went swimming while Lauren swam for swim team. I finished 32 laps, 1 mile!! YEA! It only took 75 minutes - what a pace! hahaha.

I love your new picture, so so so cute! Nice workout too by the way.

I assume you're using Internet Explorer... a lot of people are having issues with that and leaving comments. If you change to Firefox you can make it work.

From Rachel Anne Moody on Wed, Jun 03, 2009 at 15:22:21 from 67.166.99.8

Okay, is this firefox thing a way to get us computer stupid people using the browser some ONE likes???

From Susanna Lew on Wed, Jun 03, 2009 at 15:54:39 from 71.36.64.213

I should join your "club". I love how much xtraining you do. When I do zero miles, I do zero for the day. STINK!

Yeah, firefox seems to be the domaine. I also notice now we have to log in before making comments and our full names appear for all to see. So much for trying to have a nick name or remain anonymous.

Oh, I meant to tell you...AWESOME WORKOUT! You're a RAD MAD WOMAN...so dedicated!

From RAD on Wed, Jun 03, 2009 at 17:42:11 from 67.166.99.8

Yeah, its funny - everyone is used to seeing me as RAD, but now I'm Rachel Anne Moody - TOO LONG!!! Plus now everyone will wonder where RAD came from? -Dekker is my maiden name and RAD sounds a lot cooler than RAM :)

From RAD on Wed, Jun 03, 2009 at 17:42:50 from 67.166.99.8

ha, I just wrote that but now it says RAD; I can't keep up with the changes on this site today!!!

Just noticed your blog title. You're bored? With 3 little kids? How does that work?

From RAD on Wed, Jun 03, 2009 at 22:19:04 from 67.166.99.8

I just thought it was funny! I actually saw it on a bumper sticker inside the plane as I was going up to jump.

On this blog people don't think its crazy to run marathons, but so many people I know don't run and they call me crazy for running - so, really its just all for fun :)

From Nancy on Wed, Jun 03, 2009 at 23:13:04 from 76.27.11.127

Wow you can swim a lot better than I can. Great job.

From RAD on Wed, Jun 03, 2009 at 23:15:23 from 67.166.99.8

Thanks Nancy, but I don't believe it! You are an awesome tri athlete! I just kept the pace nice and slow...my 8 yr old in the lane next to me nearly beat me every lap :) I did race her once and won!

From Shimelle on Thu, Jun 04, 2009 at 10:02:15 from 75.162.241.94

Good to chat with you this morning! You'll start feeling better. Those dang marathons take it out of you for a while. Keep on keepin' on!:)
