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.

You're very consistent your own self.

does the rolling help your IT band?

From allie on Wed, Mar 10, 2010 at 14:59:43 from 67.177.0.102

i agree, very consistent. great workout(s)!

From Nancy on Wed, Mar 10, 2010 at 21:34:28 from 76.27.19.206

I think storytime is a good way to finish off a good workout.

Nice workout today! You are on the road to recovery!

From Smooth on Thu, Mar 11, 2010 at 01:21:25 from 174.23.198.220

GOOD JOB on all the workouts!

From Michelle on Thu, Mar 11, 2010 at 09:43:25 from 174.29.65.50

I am really happy for you that you are able to start running everyday. You have had a lot of patience with recovery!

Carolyn, thanks- I can't wait until I can get outside!

QP, the rolling is for my hip flexors. After talking to Teena (on the blog) she suggested that I roll out the muscles and insert points in the hip area to help reduce risk of refracture from tight ligaments. It really seems to help!

Allie, thanks, some days are better than others. Why doesn't running 6-10 miles a day seem boring?

Nancy, it's a great way for me - maybe not the 'nose' that has to sit next to me :)

Toby, Isn't it great to be there?

Smooth, thanks! Give me 8 more months then I can keep up with you!

Michelle, patience is the name of the game. I'm glad it's nearly over!
