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.

Nice easy run with the BBK's, but it was HARD!! I really thought I was rested and feeling good, until I thought for sure I was pushing a 7mm and was only at 9!!! It was nice to be back at it and have a good run with good people. It always makes it so much more enjoyable to have people to talk to. Splits: 9:08, 8:29, 8:30, 8:13, 8:32 AP for the run 8:34.

Then yoga....ahhhh, the best part of Thursdays!!! Now I'm looking forward to another short sweet Saturday run and a fun 5K Monday - woo hoo for a long weekend!!

Marion, the new form is getting easier - I just hope I'm really doing it right :) Its not so much that I thought it was slow it just felt like I should've been going A LOT faster for how tired I was!!

From Carolyn in Colorado on Thu, May 21, 2009 at 17:57:44 from 198.241.217.15

Rachel, you sure ran faster and farther this morning than I did. But of course, you would have beat me big time in that marathon if your IT band hadn't been acting up.

From Nancy on Thu, May 21, 2009 at 18:15:46 from 76.27.11.127

It was good to see you for a minute. I'm glad you are feeling a little better.

From Michelle N. on Thu, May 21, 2009 at 18:53:45 from 75.162.247.50

Okay, good to know that some of those miles were in the mid 8's. Julie and me ran that last mile SLOW so our overall was 8:42 but man, I felt like we were sprinting the whole time.

From RAD on Thu, May 21, 2009 at 20:01:38 from 67.166.99.8

Carolyn, I think I probably would've come in around your time-I know I would've slowed down anyway!

Nancy, it was good to see you too! I'm glad you're recovering from the race.

Michelle, AMEN!! That felt so much like I was pushing 7mm its not even funny. Hopefully I get some legs back before my 5K Monday...I do have my pride :)

It was nice to get out but the miles did seem faster than that. There is nothing like lead legs- ya gotta love em:)

Okay...I can't see the new pic! I added it, but its still my old one on my computer! WHY??? Weird. Thanks Allie, I've been catching up on your recovery as well, looks like things are improving well for you too!

From Brent on Fri, May 22, 2009 at 13:14:48 from 168.178.30.75

Devine Miss M - I expect you will shatter your 5K PR on monday if you have your legs. Good luck on the changing form. Have Fun.
