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.

Total Distance

8.00

Tried the RC loop in reverse. This means downhill both ways, BUT the uphill is one mother of an uphill!! I've run this hill before, but I forgot how much I love it :)

Had a couple runners to chase a few different times along the route, that always helps me keep up the pace.

Uneventful run, except I can feel some twinges in my calves - so I'm going to do step class, but I'm going to put my bench down low and be sure to stretch and roll my calves/legs every day this week.

AP: 8:48 splits: 8:52, 8:35, 8:04, 8:39, 10:30 (can you tell where the hill is?), 8:33, 8:37, 8:32.

Glad I was able to keep the paces all under 9's except that darn nasty hill, but hey, I conquered it and in good form :)

***Step and ab's class. Step wasn't all it usually is, but I also took out a riser from what I'm used to so that could be some of it too. Ab's was just normal class, sometimes I wish she'd change things up a bit more.***

Mizuno Inspire - Oscar Miles: 8.00

Great Run!! Way to get that hill! You are doing amazing.

From Calvin on Mon, Sep 13, 2010 at 10:16:32 from 66.133.117.3

Very cool. Knocking out that nasty hill really makes you feel like you accomplished something, doesn't it. Nice run!

From Tom Slick on Mon, Sep 13, 2010 at 10:18:20 from 69.171.174.241

super consistant recovery run...you are ready for SGM. Now just use taper time to the maxxxx. No injuries, no illness, lots of extra rest. Past Time to give up the cross training and weights. TYI...

From RivertonPaul on Mon, Sep 13, 2010 at 12:11:01 from 67.42.27.114

Nice run, again.

From RAD on Mon, Sep 13, 2010 at 13:47:53 from 67.172.229.125

Lori, thanks - it's nice to be able to come back so quickly.

Cal, yes, yes it does. I only wish I could've hit a better pace, but there was a nasty head wind up the hill and even when it flattened out I still felt like I was pushing against a freight train. So, I'm just glad I did it!

Slick, is it really? I usually don't give them up until the week before. Tapering is NOT a strong point for me.

Paul, thanks!

AWESOME!!!!

How was step?

From RAD on Mon, Sep 13, 2010 at 14:23:04 from 67.172.229.125

Teena, it was okay, it's been better, but the teacher wasn't having a great day today either. Meh, it's just a fun class anyway, right?

From The Quiet Pirate on Mon, Sep 13, 2010 at 15:06:50 from 152.26.59.252

Running and Stepping...I guess you had a RUSTy day :-) nice work!

From Little Engine That Could on Mon, Sep 13, 2010 at 15:07:19 from 68.98.198.29

Holy cow....you're Super Woman! I'm getting tired reading what you do on your workouts! AMAZING!!!

From Maurine/Miles on Mon, Sep 13, 2010 at 20:41:24 from 97.117.59.81

Roll, roll, roll your legs, all the way to the marathon.....

From Brent on Mon, Sep 13, 2010 at 21:37:55 from 76.8.201.223

Devine Miss M, you could be a sailor, one mother .... of a hill hey? Nice workout, stepping is for sissies? Now, I did say that before I tried stepping many years ago, sweat hog workout is the best description.

Stay Kool, B of bS rools out

From RAD on Mon, Sep 13, 2010 at 23:17:29 from 67.172.229.125

QP, hmmm, I like my RUSTy days :)

Engine, it's the 90 min free day care that keeps me going to the gym, and I hate the TM!

Maurine, you're singing my tune!

Brent, not quite a sailor. It was just a mother, you know a long-suffering, "I'm only doing this for your own good" kind of mother? :) (my husband gets after me all the time for making up my own cussing language. It usually ends up as "son of a monkey's uncle" or "Heavens to Betsy", I'm also fond of "I'm so mad I could kick their teeth in!")

From Toby on Mon, Sep 13, 2010 at 23:28:11 from 66.133.97.196

That is a lot of working out - think of all the calories you get to consume :)

From KP on Mon, Sep 13, 2010 at 23:37:59 from 173.29.127.169

you are so awesome!

From Bec on Tue, Sep 14, 2010 at 15:01:11 from 67.172.233.189

Great run after your 22! Way to work the mother hill.
