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.

After a leg workout Tuesday and Mtn goat yesterday, my legs were feeling quite a bit like lead today! Even without my neighbor coming, I still got up and out and got the miles in. It was slow, but we all need a 'recovery' day now and then, right? 

It was a lot colder than I remember it being for quite some time today, I had to keep hiding my face to keep it from freezing. Got home and showered and warmed up, then out to yoga. I really love yoga and I think I need to do more of it!

Glad you were strong enough to brave the cold and get a good run AND yoga in today.

What's the story behind the "oscar" and "cookie monster" shoe names?

You are one dedicated runner. Great job.

QP - it has to do with the color of the shoes, since they are all Mizuno Inspires. My green ones are the color of Oscar and the new ones I just got are the color of Cookie Monster...or maybe I reverting or hungry :)

Nancy, thanks! I was thinking since I didn't have my neighbor today I should've gone to run with the BBK's!

Recovery days are SO SO SO important! Hooray for you for being smart! I SO need to do yoga.
