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.

Well a nice spring snow storm scared away the others, so I ran the loop from home by myself. Well, I did have Daisy, I've always got Daisy. I wasn't super fast, but faster than I normally am when I'm alone. I was also consistent with my pace, only 2 10+ miles so I can't be too upset. The roads and sidewalks were barely wet and there was little to no snow the entire way, until the last 1/4 mile! That plus my walking cool down turned me into a snowrunner and Daisy white. I'm grateful I got up and got it all done! AP: 9:42

Shaggy Mountain "catch me" game! I left first and then Mandy caught me at mile 1.6 and we ventured together until the top of mother hill where Kristyn caught us. Then we all enjoyed the downhill miles together. Even with the finishing portion of mile 7 being uphill and flat I still averaged 7:32 on the mile!! I was so impressed with myself. Then the next mile I hit at 7:49 without really trying...okay, I was, but not as hard as the previous mile. 

I finished in 1:18 - I haven't done this loop under 1:20 for YEARS. So I was pleased with myself. Maybe I really do have some speed left in me...somewhere. 

Now I'm off to Norway!
