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.

2 miles to start out on the track. I didn't want to know the pace, but I think it was decently fast. I finished in less than 18 minutes, but more than 16...so, lets say 8:30.

3 miles on the TM. 1@ 8:34, next @ 8:27, last @ 8:20 with a progressive last 1/4.

TT: 25:20 AP: 8:26

1 mile to finish up on the track. I meant to track time, because I wanted a fast finish, but I didn't. The effort was harder than the TM so I'm gonna call it a sub 8 - no idea really.

Home to get the kids off to school then back to the gym. Fartlek got a thumbs up for daycare behavior! Even a smile out of the ladies with "good job!"

Spin class. Not as hard as yesterday, but hard enough! Legs were tired, I was done - so I left :)

Now after a long day and a short nap I'm going to play racquetball with the hubby! woot woot!

You always have some new exercise up your sleeve. Raquetball, who would have thought. Enjoy.

I saw a guy in bootcamp with a T-shirt that made me think of you. It says, "I run this town".

So happy Baby Fartlek got thumbs up! You got two thumbs up for awesome runs and workouts and racquetball with the honey! :)

Wow. You must really be in shape, all that exercise and then racquet ball.

Good boy Fartlek! Your run and workout sound like fun. :)

Off to a great weekend of NO pain!!!

What's plan B for tomorrow? :)

Excellent workout- your times are amazing for your recovery time.

Have fun with raquetball. It's always fun till someone wacks the ball wrong and it smacks you in the face.
