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.

Got another good hill workout in with the BBK's this morning. I'm learning to love those things, I HATE them while I'm doing them, but when I feel faster and good afterward then I realize how much they really help me!! My splits today were pretty decent - especially if anyone has run parkway palisades, of course I was dragging the back of the group, but I can only race against myself so it was good for me! My AP for the run was 8:39 - splits: 9:46, 8:50, 9:02, 9:03 - mostly warm up, started hills at 4.8 something? 8:22, 7:54, 8:19 - hill repeats, yea! One under 8 must've been the downhill :) 8:39,8:09,8:22 - tempo run to finish things up.

After the run I went home, caught a little nap then met Kelli at the gym for weights (following her workout kicked my butt!!) then did 9 miles on the upright bike (30 min). Whew! A great workout. Now I'm ready to hit the park and hang with more friends all afternoon - YEA for warmth (I'm trying not to say it too loud, it might go away if I do :)

Nice run RAchel!!! FAST FAST FAST!!!

NICE hill workout and AWESOME paces. I changed my mind about your mp being 9mm. I think you're hitting your mp at 8mm. Keep up the good work! Glad you're enjoying the GREAT weather!

Devine Miss M - maybe your name should change to the Divine Commando Miss M - great workout. Do you have a time goal for the SL Half or have a race plan?

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

you and Kelli and two of a kind, your entry makes me tired.

Yes! We need a dog run!

From Kelli on Tue, Apr 07, 2009 at 16:50:11 from 71.219.95.20

Great splits this morning! Those hills are killer and you did awesome!

From Bec on Tue, Apr 07, 2009 at 17:12:34 from 205.123.38.98

K girl, you are awesome! Those hills sound like a pain, and I know that you just prance right over them. You are on the right track for your first marathon. You have done so much for your first marathon. For sure you will be ready.

Marion and Smooth, thank you! I've been working hard, but 26 miles is a lot further than 10!!!

Brent - I would really like to finish SL under 1:45; however, I'm nervous about it because my best 1/2 so far is 1:47. I usually shoot low, so I now have to try and push myself.

Leslie- Kelli and I are just crazy! you'll see a nice drop now for the rest of the week :) I think we should go up Milcreek for our dog run!?

Kelli- your so nice, you know that you were kicking my butt up those hills! I almost caught you on the way down though...

Bec- the hills are a pain and I definatley don't prance over them, more like dragging a dead horse (me) up the hill!! I'm excited for Ogden...are you running too??
