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.

Urban Trail loop with the Newtons...well, some of them. 

George and James took off, but that is to be expected. Chad hung around with me and my dragging pace today. Which wasn't bad, but slow for this crazy crowd! I did start out pretty slow, but I'm telling you I could NOT see the road today! We start out on a canal road and it was dark and my head lamp was not cutting it! I thought I was going to die. I stepped on a gazillion rocks and almost twisted my ankle, then I'd step in holes and almost do the same. Crud. Then, because I was watching where I was going so intently, I gave myself vertigo. Blech. Seriously, I need to learn to run again.

Foot felt better than Tuesday! So, I'm not going to complain or rant on about it from now on unless there is a problem or things get worse. I'm still taping/icing/Ibuprofening it, but since it is on an upward swing even with running I'm feeling good and confident it should carry me through from here on out.

Calves a little tight when I got home, but getting back to running will do that to you.

AP: 8:50 splits: 9:23, 9:11, 8:47, 8:21, 8:47, 8:48, 8:49, 8:31. Ran the last .2ish low 8/high 7...felt good to get some turnover going!

Nice run. I'm glad your food is not hurting too bad.

Wahoo!

I love the urban trails. Get a new headlamp! I used a crappy one for about 5 years and I finally gave in and bought a new one. It was like going from a Yugo to a ferrari.
