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.

Someone has caught stroller fever! Seriously... who knew I'd like jogging strollers so much?!? Not this girl. 

I again slept in (I think I'm having a lot of anxiety about waking up at 2:00 to get to UVM!), and made a nursery appointment for baby for 2 hours. An hour to run 6, an hour to bike. HA! Then, I put my thinking cap on.

I could've ridden with baby too, but I was selfish and wanted to read my book :) I like reading on the bike...true multi-task. So, I put baby in the stroller ran the 3 miles DOWN to the rec center (loverly paces!) then paid for only an hour for bike time then ran the 3 miles back UP to the house. I need a little heat/hill training for TOZ the end of this month. So, it is all in good practice. MUCH better than 6 dreadful miles on the TM! Plus, I got to stop on the way back home (the UP) and take care of little puppy that I'm dog sitting during the day this week...made the journey home not so overwhelming.

AP down: 8:07 splits: 8:12, 8:07, 8:00

45 min on the bike (it always takes a few to get on and off the bike, so with only an hour in daycare I usually get 45-50 on the bike)

AP up: 9:38 splits: 10:06, 9:29, 9:19...I finally got the hang of pushing that stroller! 30 pounds of kid and 15+ of stroller? yeah, I'll take that uphill :)

I've pushed a few baby jogger in my lifetime and it is really good exercise. Nice run and bike.

Love the stroller idea. I need to get one to use with my grandson.
