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.

Not quite sure I could call this morning's run a run...more like a nice jog :) I went out not wanting to push or be pushed...just nice and easy, and that's what I got. I really need to get Lucy out more, she's getting bored and starting to find things to do/dig in the backyard to entertain herself, so I want to try to get up and do 3-4 each morning with her. She's kind of forgotten how to run with me, pulling a little too much when she gets 'excited' about something, but when she started getting tired around mile 3 then it got much better :)

AP: 9:34 splits:  9:24, 9:16, 9:58, 9:35 - I did the stake 5K loop with an extra mile at the end.

Now I'm going to go to the gym for step class and I may do another nice and slow 4 on Milley to make it a nice easy eight...stay tuned.

**Finished the gym. Did step and another 4 easy on the TM 9:30 pace **

I'm glad you took it nice and easy this morning. You need some easy days. I take it that Lucy is a dog?

From RAD on Mon, Oct 26, 2009 at 10:48:09 from 76.27.12.70

yes, sorry. Lucy is our dog - she is a medium/large dog and VERY active. She's only 4 and we've had her for a year, so she has lots of energy.

From The Quiet Pirate on Mon, Oct 26, 2009 at 13:46:54 from 24.199.205.252

I bet Lucy was happy to be out running with you. I know she'll be a good running partner for you in the mornings.

Hope the gym was good to you and you had a fun workout.

From Cal on Mon, Oct 26, 2009 at 13:47:58 from 66.133.117.3

I think you work out more than anyone that i know. Great job!

(and congrats on your races over the weekend!)

From RAD on Mon, Oct 26, 2009 at 13:49:59 from 76.27.12.70

QP, I need to get her back to running with me...I've been a slacker.

Cal, I wish my weight would reflect the hours of workouts! And thanks, I had a good time!

You are so funny, you just did 2 races, won them both and now you are back at it, do you know what "recovery" means? LOL! Way to go wonderwoman!

From Smooth on Mon, Oct 26, 2009 at 14:59:55 from 174.23.240.142

I'm with Leslie! Does recovery from winning TWO races mean TWO runs in the morning 2 days later? Lucky Lucy and Milley that you didn't tear'em up! :)

From RAD on Mon, Oct 26, 2009 at 19:30:00 from 76.27.12.70

Leslie and Smooth, you ladies crack me up! Don't you know I have to eat today? :) If I don't exercise I can't eat! Oh, and Smooth, maybe 2 is a good number? 'easy' I think...maybe that's why all the 2's today :)

From DonGardinero on Mon, Oct 26, 2009 at 23:18:01 from 152.216.7.5

Nice job taking it easy. Bet that felt good.

From Brent on Tue, Oct 27, 2009 at 08:27:34 from 168.178.30.194

Devine Miss M - run to eat, my diet plan also. Easy miles are good, step class is tough? Not exactly an easy day. Nice workout week.
