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.

Urban Trail loop with what is becoming a nice big crowd! I love having lots of new stories and fun to throw around. I actually kept up today and didn't get too far behind...just on the daybreak hill, but that doesn't surprise me. I did make everyone stop a couple times for a drink - this cough/cold that is hanging on makes my throat dry. I really love this loop...and the people I get to run it with!

AP: 8:51 splits: 9:46 (I really can't believe this was SO slow!), 9:08 (the hill..how was that faster than the first mile?), 8:44, 8:23, 8:52, 8:26, 8:46, 8:42.

Came home, took Lucy on her 2 mile loop - that poor dog drags SO slow after about 1/2 a mile. I gotta whip that puppy into shape! Then got kids off to school and went to the gym.

Spin class. Did intervals of strength, endurance, speed, agility (jumps). Excellent workout!

Then I did some arm and core weights with Kelli - she always does the best workouts, so I just tagged along for 20ish minutes.

Went home and mowed the lawn, watered all my new plants, fertilized and round-uped the yard. Whew! Now I have my Saturday chores taken care of. Blech...still putting off bathrooms that MUST be done today....ugghhh....

 ****Brent of BSRools is embarking on his Ironman Saturday! Feel free to send him a little FRB love, I don't think it would hurt :)****

SATURDAY RUN: I'd like to do a good hillish long run, with MP tempo after your legs are nice and tired from the uphill :) So, I wanted to see if anyone would like to meet at In N Out Burger at 12600S and Bangerter Hwy at 6AM on Saturday. We'd run up to Yellow Fork Canyon and then turn and come back. I do SO much better with company :) Also, I can put out water at mile 4, 8 and 12 (4 and 12 is the same spot) for anyone who would like to come. Let me know if you are interested...it will be fun!

You did hike Timp this morning too, right????? You seriously amaze me with all your working out! I probably won't be there on Saturday....you guys will be too fast for me! Go kick some booty though!

Your post makes me hungry for In N Out.

From Teena Marie on Thu, May 03, 2012 at 15:49:10 from 174.27.199.63

You have had some sweet workout!!! :) :) :)

Can't wait to see how you do at Ogden!!! :)

From Carina on Thu, May 03, 2012 at 20:31:06 from 204.15.86.83

Your Saturday run sounds so fun, wish I could come!!! Killer week do far, you're so ready for ogden!!

From Smooth on Thu, May 03, 2012 at 21:50:15 from 174.27.212.157

WOW! TWO AWESOME RUNS and WORKOUT DAYS back to back! Your training is phenomenal! :)

Wish I could join you on Sat. but you are TOO FAST for me! :)

Wow you really are an exercise machine.

Toby, you crack me up! I probably only did about half of what you did all day! I did get the bathrooms done, but laundry still needs to be folded today. If you want to come, I'm running an easy pace up and it is just an out and back so you wouldn't get lost on the way back! You know you wanna! It would be fun, and you'd get to see my corner of the running world :)

Catherine, I wish we could run at 11, so we could have lunch afterward! I love In N Out, best cheap burger around.

Teena, thanks! I can't wait to tackle it.

Carina, I would say bring your bike, but it doesn't go anywhere :) you've got bigger fish to fry than a silly ol' run anyway!

Smooth, you guys should come! The uphill will just be nice and easy, and since it is an out and back you'll know the way back - it is an easy route anyway. You'd love the hills :)

Nancy, nah, I just eat too much!
