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

10.00

Trying to hit 40 miles in 4 days this week is going to be a challenge, but I guess it's do or die time. No more messin' around; this ain't no kids game.

5 miles to start - TT: 41:03; AP: 8:13 - started at 8:27, 1.75 went to 8:20, 3.3 went to 8:13, mile 5 was the finishing MP mile started at 7:47, then at .3 went progressive every tenth to finish at 6:58 (7:30 TT).

Did a short, good arms set 3X for about 20 min and said hello to Kelli. Missed my TM buddy today!

5 more miles to finish the day - 41:00 AP: 8:12 (just enough faster to round down!) Again started at 8:27, at 2.0 went to 8:20, 3.0 @ 8:13, last mile I decided to hit at a 7:30 since it was the AP of my last set; made it to 4.75 then went progressive every .05 to finish at 6:58 again (7:27 TT).

Good workout for the morning hustle and bustle. I'm really going to get my butt out of bed tomorrow and run. The TM is getting SOOOOOOO boring.

*oh, all 10 miles at .5% incline - with NO cheating :)

HOW do you do it all? HOW HOW HOW :)

Hey you stole my running motto. :)

Glad to see you are keeping up the miles, even if on the treadmill.

I'm with Toby... HOW do you do it all?

Yesterday my day consisted of making cookies, eating the dough, eating the cookies, and eating the frosting.

No run, just Relief Society where I ate MORE cookies. PERFECT day. :)

P.S. I like it that you don't cheat on the TM. I HATE it when people stand on the side. GRRRRRRR, I could trip them! (When they exit the gym of course!)

Bec...I like your day! YUMMY COOKIES!!!

Toby, have you looked in the mirror lately? I don't do it all, but I think you do!

Bye-wing, if you throw a rubber biscuit against the wall and it don't bounce back? You go Hungry! :)

Becca, I am LOVING your perfect day...I need to take one of those and soon :)
