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.

4.1 with Sandra at AP 10:00 - I love the company even if the pace is a bit slow.

3.15 with Lucy, I had to practically drag her the last .5 home while I was finally ready to pick it up. Oh well, it was nice to have her along and getting better every time.

AP: 9:13 splits: 9:08, 9:31, 9:19, 7:32 (last .15)

Now off to boot camp class, but I refuse to make myself sore. I want to be ready for spectrum!

I agree having company is the best even if it is a little slower. Good luck on the spectrum race! :)

From Scott Wesemann on Tue, Mar 15, 2011 at 18:01:57 from 66.239.250.209

I agree about having company, although I am usually the company slowing down my partners.

Nice job getting in 7+boot camp.

From Nancy on Tue, Mar 15, 2011 at 18:58:36 from 76.27.19.206

You are in such great shape I don't think anything could get you sore.

From Bec on Tue, Mar 15, 2011 at 19:49:52 from 71.199.9.12

A Lucy run! Great miles today RAD. Take it easy this week.

From Toby on Tue, Mar 15, 2011 at 22:15:11 from 216.194.124.36

Maybe it was good that it was slower pace....you've got to open a can of "whoop A" at Spectrum!

From LuzyLew on Tue, Mar 15, 2011 at 23:57:44 from 71.195.221.218

Yes, company makes all the difference. So glad you had a good day even if Lucy didn't!

From The Quiet Pirate on Wed, Mar 16, 2011 at 11:58:07 from 152.26.59.252

I agree with Toby, you'll be opening that can and doing great at spectrum. You're ready and strong from all your training and cross training and dog training runs too.

Hope your week keeps improving.

From Carolyn in Colorado on Wed, Mar 16, 2011 at 13:18:00 from 71.229.134.155

You are in great shape.

Lucy is a dog, right? (I'm going to be really embarrassed if I'm wrong.)

From RAD on Wed, Mar 16, 2011 at 16:51:02 from 67.172.229.125

Merri, running IS my socializing time so I totally agree!

Scott, maybe I should run with you sometime. Then you can change that role :)

Nancy, oh I do one new thing and it can leave me sore for days!

Becca, I'll have to get Lucy ready for a long run so you can enjoy her for miles and miles :)

Toby, true, very true! I'm excited to see how it goes.

Luz, I've been such a bad dog owner and haven't gotten her out running for so long it's just taking time to get her back to running more than a couple miles without dying! Soon I hope to have her back to running 8-10 with me.

QP, I hope things go well, but I certainly need the vacation more than a PR at this point :)

Carolyn, yes you are right. Lucy is my dog a lazy one lately, but still my stinky dog.
