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.

Good workout day at the gym. Bike butt is getting to me, but a few mid-ride adjustments helped enough to get me through!

60 min of cardio on the spin bike, good consistent effort the entire time, tried to not let cadence get below 80 unless I did a few minutes of hill climb to get my butt off the seat :)

Since Kelli had brought her plethora of workouts, I stole one from her (I think it was the same one she and Wendy did today). It was super sets: chest/back, biceps/triceps, upper legs/calves, abs/obliques. I only got through 2 of the whole rotation, but it was a good workout. Then I did my leg presses as prescribed by the doc to keep my leg bones healthy and strong.

Oh...I remember the bike butt feeling! Glad you are still getting your workout in! :)

Hooray for you! When do you get that boot off?

From Nancy on Thu, Jan 05, 2012 at 18:35:05 from 76.23.21.118

Nice job. Do you wear the boot when spin biking?

From RAD on Thu, Jan 05, 2012 at 18:38:11 from 98.202.23.178

Steam, It usually doesn't bother me, but three days in a row is starting to wear on me...

Toby, no idea! Go to the doc 1/10 for follow up x-rays, but probably mid-February.

Nancy, yes. I have to wear it all the time. I can only take it off for bathing and sleeping. Can't really walk well without it still.

From Carina on Thu, Jan 05, 2012 at 19:17:20 from 204.15.86.83

Seriously you are doing so well cross training. Everytime I do spin I vow to get some padded shorts, but I still don't have any!

From Kelli on Thu, Jan 05, 2012 at 22:43:09 from 71.219.84.120

I never get bike butt. Does that mean I have a big butt or something??? Really, it only bothered me the first time I did spin. Weird. Maybe I just have a butt of steal (I would rather have abs of steal!)

You explained that workout better than I did! I think you did it as a circuit, we did it one set at a time. I like your way better. ;o)

Devine Miss Bike Butt - if you spin in bike shorts or Tri shorts, cream in the right area before the spin helps beyond help. Good work and keeping positive.

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

Carina, I just think walking around in those shorts would be enough to make me NOT want to buy them :)

Kelli, I actually liked your way better :) Since I wasn't doing anything between I just did one right after another trying to get in what I could before daycare time. I had 15 min left after the first go-around, so I powered through a second set. Barely over daycare time. My bike butt doesn't bother me too much and it hasn't been horrible, but once. 3 days in a row is just making my butt tired - I want to run!

Brent, I don't know...whenever I see those shorts they just look SO uncomfortable to wear and walk or run in! Maybe I'll end up in them sometime...

I got a chuckle with Brent calling you Miss BB! hehe!

GOOD JOB spinning and strength training! Keep up the positive attitude!

I hope you come to St. George in 2 weeks. Love and miss you! :)

From RAD on Fri, Jan 06, 2012 at 18:53:20 from 98.202.23.178

Smooth, I guess he could call me worse things :) I think I may be coming down to SG in Jan! Fingers crossed it works out.
