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.

I felt good this morning and so I got up and went to boot camp class at the gym. She did a great circuit with weights and cardio, Heidi's classes are always good! Then I chatted a bit with friends at the gym and hit the elliptical 30 minutes @ L15 - 2.9 miles. 

Feel good and the leg feels good too, a bit of tightness so I'm not sure about running tomorrow - still undecided. If I do it will only be a few miles, then some x-training.

Hubby is at 30 days for p90X and is doing great. Took 30 day pics yesterday and you can see a good difference in the belly mostly. VERY proud of him sticking to it, I should really start doing it more with him...I've been a slacker lately, well and I was out of town (excuses, excuses)

Rachel, sorry to hear your sister could not run, beautiful race report, almost described like Mark Twain, kept me reading. The rolling hills are beautiful. Hey, I need the belly buster, whatever p90X is? I would give it a try if did not cost mulla.

Stay Kool, B of BS rools out

By the way, the crack in the door is getting wider, have signed up for 3 half marathons, Jan, Feb and March, with the hope of getting ready for UVA.

Brent, it truly was one of my top races! We actually borrowed the p90x dvd's from a neighbor. You can always check KSL.com or whatnot for a 2nd hand version. However, I will put as a disclaimer that my hubby has gone from sedentary to doing p90X, so the results for someone as active as you are may not be the same. Are you signed up for painters in Jan? Which races are the others?

I'm happy that you're doing so well after your marathon. It sounds like you ran it perfectly, btw. So your calf issues are long gone now, right?

From RAD on Wed, Nov 17, 2010 at 16:22:57 from 67.172.229.125

Cal, thanks! I'm not sure I'd say long gone...but far enough away that I'm not too worried (well, at least I now know how to fix them if they turn around and start coming back).

Great job on the 30 days Moody's booties!

Rachel, glad to hear the leg is starting to feel better.

Congrats to your husband for working out hard.
