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.

Total Distance

15.50

I had a wonderful run with some wonderful ladies this morning. It was nice to just relax and have a nice easy long run with EXCELLENT company!

Met Smooth, Luz, Karen and Toby at JRP in Lehi. I think I made a good decision foregoing the tempo run I had planned, because my lungs were hangin' on with just the flat and slower paces today. Lots of good running therapy, which sometimes is better than the miles and run itself. I did 2 - 1/2 mile pick ups each time on our way back to the cars and kept the pace under an 8mm. Felt good to run it out a bit, but after that 1/2 I was done :)

Thanks ladies for a wonderful morning! Oh, and we got to see lots of baby calves in the fields today - they were SO cute! Almost makes me a vegetarian.

You did more miles today than I did all week! Love the new picture:)

The great thing about running slower than you'd like is that when you get a chance to go you're own pace, you feel like a rocket ship. Thank you for letting me tag along today...It was so good to see you and Smooth. I can't tell you how good.

From Smooth on Sun, Mar 06, 2011 at 00:49:09 from 67.2.85.101

Rachel ~ THANKS for coming to Lehi to run with us! Too bad Lowell was no show! He sure missed out!

From Kelli on Sun, Mar 06, 2011 at 01:33:18 from 71.219.97.85

WONDERFUL!

From Burt on Sun, Mar 06, 2011 at 13:47:57 from 72.223.90.79

Jealous of the company.

From Toby on Sun, Mar 06, 2011 at 15:19:02 from 216.194.124.36

It WAS a great run with great company!

From RAD on Mon, Mar 07, 2011 at 15:17:43 from 67.172.229.125

Terri, yeah, I get a little crazy sometimes :)

Luz, you have NO idea how much I loved and needed this run and I wasn't going any slower than I'd like - it was perfect!

Smooth, that stinker Lowell is gonna get it! However, I had a wonderful run with you and some of the things that we talked about have made a HUGE difference to me in the last 48 hours, so thank you! You are amazing as always.

Kelli, when you're tired and sore from your 50 miler we'll plan a 'short' run for you to go slow with us :)

Burt, I don't know what I would do on a long run without company!

Toby, one of the best runs! I was SO happy to see you again, but SO sad when you turned to go - we need to get those miles up for you so you have more 'chat time' with us :)

Sounds like a great way to spend a Saturday.
