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.

16 miles in what I thought would be nasty weather, but it turned out nice - well, wonderfully tolerable :)

Started at 11400S and I-15 (wal-mart) then ran up to daybreak, around the lake and a little extra loop, then back down. I hate to admit that I really didn't like the up and REALLY enjoyed the down. But, I was feeling the effects of not really eating yesterday around mile 14. I was spent, but kept plugging along up the last 2 rollers back to the car.

It is nice to have the long run out of the way, and I got to get a long run in with Kelli! Amy also came along and I am SO grateful they were willing to go slow for little ol' me. Glad to top out a 50 mile week (even though it was in 5 days) and feel like I can do a nice road bike ride tomorrow and take 2 recovery days :) excellent!

Excellent indeed!

Sounds like a fabulous run Rachel!

I was just reading your sidebar (did you just update?) and I think we share the EXACT same problem with the marathon. Mcmillan predicts me at 3:16 based on 5k, 10k, and half times but nope can't even break 3:30. *sigh*! This is totally going to be our year though. We are breaking the trend!!

From Toby on Fri, Apr 06, 2012 at 20:24:21 from 199.101.229.254

Nicely done Rachel! Hooray for getting the long run done and hitting 50 miles this week! Yahooooo.....

From Nancy on Fri, Apr 06, 2012 at 20:37:24 from 76.23.21.118

Nice job. I thought I saw you running past my house.

From RAD on Fri, Apr 06, 2012 at 21:44:00 from 98.202.23.178

Smooth, you'd have loved this run - except the traffic. We had to stop talking at times because we couldn't hear each other!

Rachelle, I think I updated it last weekish, but yes - fairly recent. I'm in on this goal! I'm SO sick of not hitting MP like I should!!! BQ or Bust for me this year :)

Toby, I may be paying for these 50 soon, but they were good :) AND I can't wait for an easy day tomorrow!! Just a long bike ride, my body won't know what to do with 2 days running recovery!

Nancy, I didn't know you lived right on 11400S! We totally would've stopped :) I was looking for a reason to stop on the way out - and back!

Great long run! Sounds like you had a refreshing run with Kelli. :) Miss you.

Awesome miles this week. You are playing it nice and easy getting those miles up there, good girl.
