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.

slept in. I really need to get to bed earlier! 5 miles on the TM - 4 of them just chatting with Wendy and Emily. I was going to do 6 with 20-30 min of easy bike while I read, but I got called to the nursery. I was afraid it was baby being a turd, so since I was at exactly 5.0 miles I just called it. Luckily he just HAD a turd :) but, it was late enough it wasn't worth going to the car to get diapers change him and still get done on time. whatever...so I just left. I'll do 6 tomorrow instead.

nice job this morning, although i'm sorry about the turd.

i've been a bad blogger for three months now...no time anymore. :)

enjoy the taper week. you will do great on saturday.

From Andrea on Mon, May 14, 2012 at 11:25:30 from 72.37.171.52

Haev a nice taper! Don't push it hard this week - aka run + spin + more running + etc :)

From Smooth on Mon, May 14, 2012 at 12:46:20 from 174.27.212.157

I'm glad you slept in! :)

So what are you going to do with all your "extra" time now that you're "shutting down" your "hobby" and tapering? Hope you're not picking up some extreme "habits"! Hehehe! :)

From Rachelle on Mon, May 14, 2012 at 13:11:25 from 199.190.170.31

Great run today Rachel and I agree with Andrea...no marathon workouts this week okay!

I am only a good blogger because I work a boring 8-5 office job. It is my only entertainment. :)

From Nancy on Mon, May 14, 2012 at 16:47:16 from 76.23.21.118

I'm glad you slept in. Computers can take over our lives if we are not careful. Smart son.

From Terri on Mon, May 14, 2012 at 18:03:20 from 108.18.158.95

I have always been a bad blogger. No drama, just get to the point. Guess that makes me a little boring...or maybe I'm just lazy. Maybe I'm boring AND lazy :)

From Toby on Mon, May 14, 2012 at 20:29:03 from 199.101.229.6

I think sleep is the best part of tapering! It's going to be hard to start getting up early in 2 weeks! Just relax and be lazy this week!

Allie, I really shouldn't have time for the blog, but laundry and dishes usually wait :)

Andrea, what? me? never... :)

Smooth, I'm actually getting my house in order! crazy what you can do with an extra 2 hours in the mornings.

Rachelle, you guys are lecturing me already! :) you don't know me or anything, do you? :)

Nancy, I'm not sure if he is so smart, maybe just observant and not afraid to say the truth! :)

Terri, I don't like to think of it as drama, but my life story! :)

Toby, oh I'm LOVING sleeping in!! I could sleep until 10 everyday if people would let me.

Brent, thanks! I'm just going to sit back, relax and enjoy the ride!! :) Oh, and you're a good man! I always tell my husband "I don't change diapers or wipe butts on Mother's Day (or my birthday)!" my only 2 opt-out days.
