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.

First full week back and leg is A ok! 

Got to run with a great group through the Shaggy Mountain Half loop today. Dave, Chad, Mike, Rob, Kelli, Shanna and I all met to brave the hills! Since I have no speed my goal was to do a continuous run to the peak again, but this would be 8 miles and many more hills. No stopping or walking! Well, being the tail end of the group, I can get away with not stopping at re-groups. They can always catch up! 

Despite my lack of speed, I made it! Okay, the mud was deep on the last stretch and I tried not stopping, but my feet had 5 inches of mud and I couldn't lift them anymore, so I had to stop for 30 seconds to scrape it off. But that was it in the first 8 miles. Tough, but now I KNOW I don't need to give up and walk those hills. I can do it! Had a great finish to the run and had a great time with friends!

went home, got my protein shake in, then took a nap. I'm always tired.

12-3 was my ride at the kickr lab. 74 miles on a good zone 2 ride, 1700 calories burned. Ahhh! Tomorrow, I get to eat like a fat kid!

Did you run with Kelli? She was telling me she had to scrape mud off her shoes, too.
