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

7.25

Well, all bike rides fell through this morning and I'm too much of a chicken to go by myself - I just know I'll die. So, I slept and waited for my running date with Becca. We should've gone earlier since I didn't have the bike to contend with, but hey - I need some heat training...right?

We started about 8:15 and it was already hot so the choice to go up and down Rose Canyon probably wasn't the best one. But, oh well - gotta love the hills! :) She got a good tour of the burned out area and we stopped a couple times to gawk around...yeah, thats it, we weren't hot and tired we were just looking at the scenery.

Once we turned and came back down it was SO much better, but I stil had to stop once to get a drink and cool down a bit. I was going to go a little further down the street to do 7.5, but as we neared home and I saw 7.25...well, I decided to stop. I was good.

It was a wonderful run with Becca! I sure do miss running with her all the time, I think I'm moving to Texas :) We stretched and chatted afterward, just a good time!! Thanks for driving all the way out Becca, lets do it again soon! :)

AP: 8:24 splits: 8:55, 9:16, 9:20, 8:35, 7:41, 7:30, 7:34, 8:21 - last quarter. I slowed down that last quarter purposefully. I was tired and hot. Becca however was still shivering cold in this freezing weather compared to Texas! :)

Good running friends are the BEST!! I am so sad I couldn't make it Saturday. I think another RHPC run would be fun this summer, hopefully on a day I can make it :)

From Bec on Mon, Jul 09, 2012 at 14:47:51 from 71.199.9.12

Awwww, I LOVED our run today! Tapering and a good friend can't be beat! We can go heat training anytime you would like. I should have brought my own water so I didn't have to drink out of yours. Thanks for sharing.

I think I might just stay here a few more months so I can train and play with you! Have fun at Girl's Camp if I don't see you tomorrow.

Thanks for the uphill tour. It was nice to stop and give the legs a break.

I really better be invited to any future Rachel and Becca runs. I will drive halfway across the State any day of the week to chat it up with you awesome gals. I am being 100% serious here.

devine, did you get chased by a pit bull up rose canyon, last time I road up there got chased. Nice run in heat.

From Bec on Mon, Jul 09, 2012 at 18:19:43 from 71.199.9.12

Rachelle, Rachel is in need of a new great female running companion... She is the best for conversation and running! You are welcome to any of our escapades, but we will have to chase you down.

Brent, There was a random horse, does that count? He came out of the trees and then I have no idea where he went. Every noise I heard in the bushes I thought was a snake...

From Brent on Mon, Jul 09, 2012 at 21:16:32 from 66.7.127.67

Devine - seeks mew crazy and fun female type running partner - will carry camel back, gus and your extra pair of shoes - will always laugh at your jokes, always let you win the day and only pass gas with your permission. If interested, come ready to run and laugh at the same time, must laugh in 4 languages.

Devine, look for a Van that has Keena Coaching on when at the boat harbor. I could wear a wig and run with you a few times,but, wearing skorts is too much.

Bec - yours was funny,

Yahooooooooo for you girlies!

From RAD on Mon, Jul 09, 2012 at 22:40:50 from 98.202.23.178

Carina, I think I'll be going down to Provo a couple more times before SGM - so I'll keep you updated!

Becca, I will have fun...it is going to be a nightmare, but I'll have fun :)

Rachelle, I will totally keep you in the loop! We may do the urban trail loop on Friday since I'll miss my Thursday go at it!

Brent, nope. No dogs this time. Like Becca said...just the stray horse! I think I can outrun a horse :) I thought every noise in the bushes was a mtn lion!

Brent, I may just have to put that post out for good! I'll take you in a wig, but yeah...the skirt might be too much :) I'll look for the Keena coaching. I can't imagine there will be too many people in wetsuits at the harbor at 6AM.

Toby, you must come run with me again!!! or I can come to you...

From Nancy on Tue, Jul 10, 2012 at 09:01:44 from 76.23.21.118

I'm glad you got to run with Becca and see all the burnt out portion of Herriman.

From Smooth on Tue, Jul 10, 2012 at 14:57:03 from 71.213.102.15

What a fun run date with Becca! :)
