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.

Woke up to get to early miles, but my 5 yr old had other plans...he filled his bed with puke as I was getting ready, so I got to clean up :) I BARELY made it to regular miles and had to run to catch the group. The weather was lovely (spoken very sarcastically!), I'd forgotten how nice it was to run with the sleet blowing into your face. 

Because I had to start out fast the first couple miles were faster than I would've liked, but then I took it back to a nice easy jog. AP: 8:59, splits:  8:29, 8:31, 9:16, 9:28, 8:52, 9:18, 8:55 (last .5)

Came home and got a nap, because kids are off track and I didn't have to get them up and showered! Hit the gym (kids stayed home, Dad's work has asked that if anyone in the family is sick to telecommute) and did a training session, a little of everything, and then did 5 miles/20 minutes on the bike. 

I think I'm going to have a nice lazy day at home :)

I don't think you can explain your day as a lazy day after all the running and training you did :)

It sounds like you had a full day already. You should definately take it easy the rest of the day.

Lori, I guess I mean the rest of the day - I'm glad I got the tough stuff done early!!

Carolyn, so far so good...nice and easy today!
