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.

From home to the Pumpkin run route then a short cut home to avoid the big hill back up to the park. I love being able to get out early, have a running partner and avoid daycare costs at the gym. I think QP needs to move here...  :)

Afterward I did the shred at home and then 3X 60/60/60 planks with 20 push ups between each set. Never mind the fact that a 17 month old was crawling on my back and under/around me the whole time.

Don't forget and spread the word!! Black Friday run, Lehi JRP 1500 N, 10AM.

It's a Dekker girls sale: For a limited time there will be buy one get one free Dekker girl workout opportunity. Running shoes and a good appetite are required. And the shoes are actually optional.

Nice run.. Your exercise with the kids climbing all over you reminds me of when my kids were little and climbed all over me.

Hahaha! I love your add, wish I could be there. I have very fond memories of our last year's Turkey Day run. Looks like it will be warm enough in Utah to actually run outside this year. You going up to that big Turkey trot?

Nancy, I know there will come a time when I miss it :)

Julie, shoot! next time you'll have to come join us.

Becca, yeah, were going up to Cottonwood Heights. It certainly won't be as exciting as our 13 on the TM, but it will have to do :)

Eric and I (and Elliott!) will try to make it on Friday.

Good luck at your Turkey Trot!

Catherine, I'd LOVE to see you all!! We're meeting at the 1500N entrance by the bridge. I'm sure you know how to get there. If not, let me know and I can send a map. YAY!

Sweet, I'll be there for the post food coma recovery run. My youngest, 4-year-old Paige, and hides outside the bathroom after my after-run-shower to try and scare me with a very cute "boo" when I get out.

From RAD on Wed, Nov 23, 2011 at 13:09:43 from 98.202.23.178

bye-wing, lets make it happen!!!

Chad, perfect! I love little kiddos, aren't they the best? :) We are looking forward to seeing you!
