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.

Oh HAPPY DAY!!! Guess who is back for a week? oh yeah baby! Becca! So, I found a sitter and met her at her sister's house in Draper for a run. We ran up to PRT then along the trail for a few miles and turned back. Man, it was hotter than I expected - we both wanted water, but all the fountains are turned off. We passed a school holding elections and we decided to go in, hoping that with voters in there we wouldn't be considered a safety risk. When we got back I didn't have time to chat, I had to go get baby for music class. But, we've got plans this week! Plenty of chat time. 

It was like we hadn't missed a beat. Same old chatting and fun. I missed Becca. Only problem was I ditched the Newtons for this run. My plan was to do the normal 10 with them and then add 6 or 8 with Becca. Well, baby wasn't very nice last night and had me up more times than I'd like to count. So, when the alarm went off I decided the 6 or 8 with Becca would be enough - I was going to sleep! I guess if I have an alternative, I won't wake up early :) Sad part is, once I got up and called them (and they called back) I couldn't really get back to sleep. It took a long time...with lots of guilt. Should've just gone. 

AP: 8:15 splits: 8:56, 8:42, 8:25, 8:10, 8:23, 7:54, 8:08, 8:08, 7:55, 7:48

Plan to do a 15ish mile ride this afternoon with a friend in my new ward boundaries that is a cyclist! I'm excited to have a workout buddy, and not be the only crazy one in the ward. She is doing her first tri in 2013, but has knee issues. So, she won't ever be a huge runner, but I'm still excited!

16 miles with Kristy on the Mtn View Corridor. Good times! I hope to be able to keep up with her next time :)

You are forgiven for ditching us. We turned 10 into 7 miles. Georges calf was mighty tight (a little to much fast downhill on Saturday).

I was wondering how he'd fare with 10 today. He did a great job Saturday! Glad Paul was there to pace him through. I know what it feels like to have a friend there to get you to a PR you think is a little out of reach :) AND how sore you are the next week!
