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.

Want to run a marathon for $10? well... you can! My friend posted these codes for the Utah Marathon 10/13 (yes, week after SGM), that makes the prices for ALL events only $10. Yup, true story. Paid $10.84 for a half registration. Can't beat that! PLUS you can run on the Fast Running Blog team that Jake set up.

I'm going to run the half that starts at 7AM, then meet the family (I'm assuming I can run a sub 2hr half at a recovery pace the week after SGM) for the 5K that starts at 9AM and run/walk with them. Fun family time...for CHEAP!

Here they are, I don't know when they expire. I did it today hopefully it will still work when you sign up! Come have fun!!

Thanks for the codes! I was a little unsure about these codes being real, but I just paid $10.81 for the full marathon and signed my sister up for the half for $10.84. She is furious that I paid less than her. So I feel really good now :)

From Tmck on Mon, Aug 13, 2012 at 11:01:37 from 69.20.153.156

Oh, and my Dad signed up for the half. Thanks again for the heads up!

From Jake K on Mon, Aug 13, 2012 at 11:22:50 from 155.100.226.54

I still can't believe this pricing. Everyone better sign up before the race realizes they made a mistake!

From Tmck on Mon, Aug 13, 2012 at 11:35:03 from 69.20.153.156

I am wondering if no one was signing up because of SGM, as well as SOJO marathons. I was debating between this race and SOJO and decided to do SOJO because its course looked like I could PR (Utah Marathon course looks tough). But for $10 I quickly changed my mind. I can always PR next year.

WOO HOO!! I am in. Thanks Rachel.

From Jake K on Mon, Aug 13, 2012 at 12:26:55 from 155.100.226.54

I get an email as "team captain" everytime someone joins the team. We're up to like 8 people already this morning! :-)

From Rachelle on Mon, Aug 13, 2012 at 12:32:32 from 159.212.71.77

Team "Fast Running Blog" is totally going to dominate. There better be a team prize. :)

TMCK, I'm glad you got the codes to work today! Lots of people from the tri group that put them out were signing up Sunday and I was afraid they'd expire. Every day I'm afraid they'll take them away! So, get 'em while the getting is good!!!! Yeah, that 5K fee is expensive! Over 10% of the cost of the race :) I think we should complain...ha! Oh, and heck yeah about PR next year. This will just make you stronger and ready to PR in the Spring!

Jake, nah, if they would be in the world of making mistakes they would've let me use the blonde runner code for $10 off WITH this code :) I was really excited about a race for $.84! Oh well, I guess I'll pay the $10. I also forgot to add my husband to the team, so my kids and I are, but I forgot when I registered him. I may try to call and fix that...later, when the codes no longer work. Can't tempt fate too much.

Rachelle, YIPEE!!! Awesome! Which one are you doing? Oh, and my kids and hubby are on the team...so if it is overall time/placing that may pull us down :( we may have to drop them...and me! I'll only be running easy recovery after SGM the week before.

FEEL FREE TO SHARE/POST THESE CODES!! LETS GET THIS TEAM GOING!!!

From prestonmadera on Mon, Aug 13, 2012 at 21:10:29 from 67.186.200.142

I signed up today, and am in! $10.00 half for a fun recovery atmosphere!
