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.

30 minutes on the elliptical - 2.5 miles at L9 resistance.

How's the hip?

Another 1 1/2 hour workout. You are strong.

hip is slightly better than yesterday, but still with some tenderness/pain. Still waiting to walk again.

Your blender broke!!!! AWWWWEEE! I think if that happened at my house we really would not know what to do. Right now the blender is used 12 times a day at my house (not kidding!) I even told my family that we would be in a real pickle if the blender broke.

I have read your blog, you seem to be really down. I feel your frustration. You will pull through, I KNOW you will. You have to look at the bright side of things.

1. You get to read books while you are on the elliptical (you can't do that while you run).

2. The weather is still poopy.

3. Think of all the trouble we are saving our joints because we are NOT running.

4. For some reason that baby on board does not want his mommy running around.

5. Long gym sessions with me! How about Saturday, what are you doing on Saturday?

6. You are turning 30. You get to be a NORMAL 30 year old. Most of the people our age don't do anything as far as fitness, let alone running. You get be just like them :)

7. This list. You would not get a list like this if you were running.

8. All of those stinky people at the gym you get to meet from the hours you spend Xtraining.

9. I am starting to run out of reasons.

10. You don't have to run away from skunks at 5 in the morning on the Parkway!

Get better, I love you!!! Do something fun this weekend to celebrate the fact that you DON't get to run. I certainly am. :)

I missed you at the gym when I ran in to weigh myself today!!! I wonder where you were?

From RAD on Fri, Feb 12, 2010 at 18:10:08 from 67.172.229.125

Becca, thanks! I needed a laugh today - I'm just in a bad rut and was looking forward to getting out! I'm still considering tomorrow...I have to do the membership if I go.

Kelli, that was the 'long time to motivate myself' :) I didn't get there until about 10:45 or so!

From Kelli on Fri, Feb 12, 2010 at 18:11:07 from 71.219.89.82

I guess I missed you by about 15 minutes then!!! It does not matter how long it takes to get there, as long as you finally make it!

LOVE Bec's list! Yes, you are loved and know that all these xtrain is doing some good. I never exercised no less run when I was pregnant with all six of my kids. You are doing awesome.
