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.

I'm honestly getting tired of not sleeping well *sigh*

TM day - walked 10 min (.5 miles) at 8% grade @ 3 mph; ran 1 @ 9:05; walked .25 on 6% grade @ 3mph; ran 2 @ 9:05; walked .25 @ grade; ran 1 @ 9:05; walked .25 cool down.

This felt rough today. Not sleeping well and still having sore quads made a rough warm-up this morning, but by the time I got to my 2 miles in the middle I felt better. Again, reminding me that it is always those first few miles that are the hardest!

stretching and weights on the bosu to round out the 90 minutes.

Volleyball tonight, so not much shoulders on weights...I'll be sore enough from serving and hitting!

Nice job on keeping the running gradual, and still walking in between.

Have fun a volleyball!

QP, I think on the road I could keep the running miles consistent, but I'm really enjoying the breaks on the TM :) So, I'm trying NOT to run outside (fighting with everything I've got), so that I can keep it gradual!

Thanks Carolyn! I think it's just the pregnancy. I can't sleep comfortably, so I'm in bed for nine hours, but feel like I get 2 hours! I just toss and turn trying to get comfortable.

I'm sorry you're not getting enough sleep. If you ever get a chance take a nap during the day. Great job exercising even when you don't get sleep.

How did the volleyball go? Hope you had a great time!

I hope you got better sleep last night. I depend on sleep so much it is really hard for me to not sleep well. You are doing great at running and increasing your miles, way to go!

Nancy, if I didn't have a 2 yr old that likes to flush toilets with 1/2 a roll of toilet paper in them and draw on walls with a sharpie marker I may get a nap once in a while :)

Teena, Volleyball was honestly a disaster! However, we went to Chili's afterward and drowned our sorrows in chips and salsa :)

Michelle, thanks - it's not easy, but we're getting there!
