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.

Easy early day at the gym. Had to be home by 8:20....

40 min TM walking 10% incline @ 3.2 mph

30 min Elliptical on L10 2.5 miles

60 min spin class. Good sweaty effort, but not the best Sat class I've been to :(

Again had the wonderful company of Bec! (and the book lady...oh, and she took a bike from someone to 'read' through class. They hadn't gotten a spin card so she was rightfully entitled to the bike, but still....I'd like to smack that book out of her hands and tell her to work out or go out!)

I am so surprised that she reads in spinning class...I don't know why, but I feel like she doesn't deserve to be there either if she's not taking it seriously.

I guess to each their own.

Nice am workout on your part.

maybe she is a spin class secret shopper. it is very common for spies to use the "just reading a book" tactic to act casual.

...or maybe you should just knock the book out of her hands.

I know a neighbor who reads while walking outside on the road. The scary thing is he does this on a narrow road that goes down the hill from my house. It has blind sport (curves) where people can't see. May be these people think they're so cool to show off their "multi-tasking"!

GREAT workout(s) early morning!!!

I don't know how anyone could spin and read at the same time. She must not be doing the "Lance Armstrongs" as our Tri teacher calls them. They are killers and I bareley make it through them. Great job with all the exercise.

Good job getting out early on a Saturday. I hope you had a restful weekend and aren't as tired this week as your were last.
