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.

blah, blah, blah...more of the same!

Slept in and went to the gym during day care time. 20 minute circuit of weights with my old personal trainer. I was just harassing him as he was sitting around doing nothing and I was ready to get going "C'mon - 20 minute circuit for me! Lets go!" So, he actually did. It was a lot harder than I would've pushed myself - a great workout, short and not so sweet. Afterward when he started his real training group I finished up with some push-ups and biceps, so a total of about 30 minutes weights.

Then hit the bike for 60 minutes. I wanted to push harder and go further than I have any other day this week, so I changed the miles to pace and tried to keep the pace over 16 mph. Same resistance = L6. I ended up with 16.8 miles at the end of the hour and finished up 17 total with a bit of a cool down.

Now it's 1 responsible adult vs. 7 children (3 with disabilities and my 4) for the rest of the day...wish me luck!

Even when you don't run you seem to get a very hard workout. Good luck with all the kids.

Great workout RAD! Good luck with everyone today!

Nice x-training.

LONG DAY!!!

I am surprised Mike would do anything for free. Did he try to sell you "drugs?"

Nice workout, you were booking it on the bike, I was very impressed!

Sounds like one intense workout! Hopefully that gave you the winning power to deal w/ 7 children! You're wonderwomen!

Nancy, I'm just trying to maintain the cardio so that when I do get back to running I can pick up where I left off.

Toby, thanks - I'll need a little luck!

Cal, thanks, you are recovering VERY nicely from SGM!

Kelli, of course he did :) I think he was just bored waiting and he knows I'll actually do what he tells me to and he doesn't really have to work.

Smooth, Maybe not Wonderwoman...just Crazywoman! :)
