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.

wow, I honestly didn't realize I hit a whole mile today until I just figured it out - YIPEE! 

So, another Monday *sigh*

60 minutes on the TM: 8 min walking 10% grade @ 3MPH; then run 2 min 1% grade @ 6.5 mph. Repeat it 5 times, total of 10 min running, 40 min walking @ grade - 10 min cool-down at 5% grade.

Weights; mostly upper body on the bosu ball - I think I hit all the major muscles. Core on bosu and 2-legged weighted and single leg squats on the ball.

Home; stretch and foam roll....

Now for the rest of Monday *sigh*

Hooray for a mile! I only got to do 7 minutes running. Take a nap!

From Emily on Mon, Mar 08, 2010 at 15:15:41 from 71.219.137.145

Great workout AGAIN! I have to agree, I'm not a fan of Mondays. Keep up the great work!

From RAD on Mon, Mar 08, 2010 at 19:11:39 from 67.172.229.125

Toby, isn't it funny how fast those minutes go?

Emily, ugghhh - it was a rough Monday from the alarm to well...now! :)

From Carolyn in Colorado on Mon, Mar 08, 2010 at 21:23:45 from 24.8.167.243

Monday is almost over. But you're back to running, so it's all good.

From Brent on Mon, Mar 08, 2010 at 21:43:53 from 168.178.30.194

Devine Miss M - nice keeping after, keeping after it - consistency pays off. Hey, article in RW this month on stretching ITB.

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

Lottery - still 4 more draws

From RAD on Mon, Mar 08, 2010 at 23:54:20 from 67.172.229.125

Carolyn, this Monday has just been extra strange and blah. The running is the highlight!

Brent, LOVED the stretches, do a lot of them in yoga, but not enough at home. Waiting on the draws...*gulp*

From Michelle on Tue, Mar 09, 2010 at 09:46:05 from 174.29.65.50

Yeah for a mile! I was excited to see were able to run today. I hope you continue to feel well and increase your miles.

From Kelli on Tue, Mar 09, 2010 at 09:48:15 from 71.219.89.82

So glad you were by me on the treadmill, although I had to yell backwards at ya since the treadmill was so HIGH!!!! Glad you got in that mile, and at 6.5!!! I start at 6.0, you are tough!

From The Quiet Pirate on Tue, Mar 09, 2010 at 13:08:01 from 24.199.205.252

So happy for your 1.1 - those goose eggs are growing into little baby numbers..... soon they'll be all grown up numbers :-)

Hope the rest of your week isn't "blah"

From Nancy on Tue, Mar 09, 2010 at 17:52:46 from 76.27.19.206

I think it is great that you are able to run a mile now without pain. Before you know it you will be back with the BBK's.

From Smooth on Tue, Mar 09, 2010 at 18:44:46 from 174.23.198.220

NICE to see you blogging miles and at an incline to boot! Keep it up...steady does it!

From RAD on Tue, Mar 09, 2010 at 19:21:40 from 67.172.229.125

Thanks all! It's fun to get miles, I feel vindicated after months of goose eggs! Slowly, but surely working those miles back.

Kelli, that TM was high, plus I think it's a little further back anyway!
