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.

Taking a phrase from Carolyn: Easy eight this morning.

Regular rounds around the hood. Got to say hello to Kelli this morning as she sped by!

AP:9:01 splits: 9:25, 8:27, 8:26, 8:59, 9:27, 9:30, 9:01, 8:52

mile 1 is 150 ft ascent, 2 and 3 are that down, 4 is flat, 5 and 6 are 150 ft gain, then 7 and 8 are 'easy' declines of net 80 each. Funny, but my paces totally show the elevation!

Back is feeling TONS better after having a weekend of rest. Only problem is my ITB kicked me hard this morning at 6.5 - NOT fun. I really just don't like that stinkin' thing!!!

off to the dentist and then volleyball tonight - YEA!!!

I can't take credit for the easy eight phrase. That comes from JD. And he runs easy eights a lot more often that I do. I'm stuck on six for most of my easy runs.

My pace is really affected by elevation changes as well.

Nice run RAchel, have a great day and enjoy your volleyball tonight.

Good times on those hills for an "easy" run. I can just picture you running in the hood!

Did you take Ms. Lucy with you?

Have a blast at volleyball. I'm trying to talk Sophia into going out for volleyball this winter. She can use some encouragement from her super cool Auntie Rachel.

Sorry you have to go to the dentist :-(

From RAD on Mon, Sep 28, 2009 at 13:50:58 from 76.27.12.70

Carolyn, I guess I see you use it the most so I gave you the credit for it.

Leslie, I certainly will enjoy Volleyball, it's the highlight of my week usually!!

QP - you know how I love to run the 'hood! No, Lucy stayed home today. We took her on a bike ride yesterday (she ran, we pedaled) and with my back I didn't want her pulling me at all! I will definitely do some volleyball encouragement where ever it is needed!! Dentist was good, no cavities for the whole family!!

Nice steady easy 8, pretty good clip on those hills. Have fun at volleyball!

From Kelli on Mon, Sep 28, 2009 at 18:13:48 from 71.219.96.151

HUH??? Did I miss you?

From Nancy on Mon, Sep 28, 2009 at 18:37:06 from 76.27.11.127

I'm glad your back is feeling better.

"Easy eight's" sound just DREAMY right about now!

From Scott Wesemann on Wed, Sep 30, 2009 at 15:03:50 from 66.239.250.209
