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.

Adam had an abnormal night, so he was up at 6AM when I wanted to sneak out and run alone. I guess he just wanted to come too! So, since hubby had to get ready for work I loaded him in the jogger and tried a new 4 mile course.

It wasn't bad, gives me downhill at the beginning and end - the hills in the middle. A tad harder than expected, especially with the jogging stroller, but being able to use Kelli's single instead of my double is SO much nicer!!

AP: 9:23 splits: 8:57, 9:31, 10:10, 8:52 - you can definitely tell where the hills are :)

I'll head to the gym for full body sculpting, then tomorrow I'll try a long run - a new route I'm expecting to be around 11 or 12. Hopefully I don't die!

You could join the Chumps Saturday at Winchester Park at 5:00 a.m.

From RAD on Fri, Jul 30, 2010 at 12:20:53 from 67.172.229.125

Where is Winchester? I just may...

Good luck on your new route. Try not to die please.

Terri, I'll take my cell phone and if I get close I'll just have my hubby come rescue me :)

Paul, Shoot! That is a little too far for me. I'm still a nervous nursing mother. If baby wakes up hungry I have to get home, hubby can only hold him off so long :) Adding a 30 min drive (each way) to the mix would give me too much anxiety about leaving him so long. I'm already nervous about the 2 hrs or so for the run itself. Let me know if you guys ever meet out in this neck of the woods.

nice stroller run. enjoy your new route tomorrow.

Sculpt that body!

Tell your husband to get one of those prosthetic boobs from Meet the Parents.

From Kelli on Fri, Jul 30, 2010 at 12:51:05 from 71.219.99.30

YOU WON'T DIE!!!! YOU ARE TOUGH!!!

The single is much better than the double, I agree! And Adam is so tiny that has to be nice!

From Brent on Fri, Jul 30, 2010 at 14:59:49 from 66.7.127.219

Devine Miss M - no comments about the nursing thing, but, good luck on your run in the morning. I have been looking for a good double jogger for my daughter, a good one is darn expensive.

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

From Calvin on Fri, Jul 30, 2010 at 15:32:03 from 66.133.117.3

didn't see you on Blayde today, although the timing was probably close. good job on your run.

From KP on Fri, Jul 30, 2010 at 16:37:24 from 65.208.22.26

good luck tomorrow!

Nice run with the stroller! I have a really hard time when I have to bring my two little ones in the jogger. It is A LOT of extra weight. I have a hard enough time pulling my own weight!!

Burt- You are hilarious!! You should look into creating your own and selling it.

From RAD on Fri, Jul 30, 2010 at 17:24:58 from 67.172.229.125

Thanks all - I'm going to try running out to Daybreak lake, around then home.

Okay, so Adam does really well taking a bottle from dad, but it still requires a little more 'preparation' on my part. I'm just too lazy to get up an extra 15 minutes early...plus, I miss the boy and have anxiety about leaving him so long. Baby steps for me...Baby steps :)

From RAD on Fri, Jul 30, 2010 at 17:26:22 from 67.172.229.125

Oh, Brent, I was going to suggest looking on ksl.com for a good double jogger. They have some nice ones that are gently used there and they are a TON cheaper than buying them new. I got a nice new walking stroller for Adam there. Worth a look anyway!

TAKE 'ER EASY

From RAD on Fri, Jul 30, 2010 at 17:44:28 from 67.172.229.125

QP, the marathon only 64 days away is screaming so loud at me that it's hard to take it too easy. Right now I feel like I would die if I ran a 1/2, let a lone a full! Maybe knowing baby will be waiting for me at the end will pull me through those last 20 miles :)

From Nancy on Fri, Jul 30, 2010 at 22:28:59 from 76.27.19.206

You are doing great with your running. I'm sure baby fartlek enjoys the runs too and that is why he woke up so early.

From Carolyn in Colorado on Sat, Jul 31, 2010 at 10:00:01 from 24.8.167.243

What marathon are you running in 63 days? Is it St. George? I thought about a Fall marathon but I chickened out.
