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 bet you we'll look very cute, and I'm sure they will make you run faster.

AW, you got a running skirt? I love those things. Do me a favor at Ogden...Please "chick" several males for me in the last 3 miles of the race. That is when you know you "own" your marathon! I think everyone desrves a new running outfit if they are running a marathon. You will look so dang cute.

Fat and lazy? HA! That is all in the glory of the taper. You are not fat and lazy.

Thanks Nancy!

Bec- I just hope I'm not WALKING those last 3 miles, When I was the 'fat lady' running 1/2's I would pass young guys and tell them "come on, don't let the fat old lady beat you!" I loved it :)

RAD,

You will not be walking. It is very possible that you could be flying by that point because you will be feeling so good.

"Fat Lady?" Whatever RAD! I can't imagine you that way.

Pass at least 5 of them or more! Do it for me!

Did you not register for SGM? Or were you like me ang just didn't get in?

Hello and relax everyone feels fat and lazy on a taper and aches and pains begin, but thats because your recovering from all your hard work....

If you dont want to walk, go out slow, and even if you feel great at 16-18 miles still keep it steady, wait till the last 5miles to pick it up and if and when you do pick it up real slowly!

The Marathon is a 20 mile jog with a 10k race at the end!

and to add, you will start the marathon but end it with a different outlook on life, its like when you have your 1st child! you will be buzzing for weeks.

Good Luck

Just to add, with your half marathon time your looking at 3.28 hrs which is 7.56 pace, I would go out at 8 min pace or slightly slower.. just a thought....
