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.

Another round of the Urban Trail Loop, but this was an early one with the Newtons - Chad, George and Kimberly. I was working hard to keep up, but managed to get the AP under 9mm. Quite a feat for the way I've felt this past week with these quads! It was nice to have everyone a little sore and worn out. 

AP: 8:58 splits: 9:36, 9:20, 8:41, 8:47, 9:03, 8:44, 9:07, 8:26 - I actually felt GOOD at the end and almost went home and ran more...almost.

Went to the gym with Adam after I got kids off to school, because I needed to move again to wake up from my morning nap. We walked the track with the stroller (he is doing lots better, but his cough still doesn't sound good), then I did the bike for a bit - maybe 45 min. Then Sara joined me and we did a good core workout while Adam watched a movie on her phone. Perfect.

I just love the names you give your shoes! Nice workout again today on the trail. Glad Adam's improving!

Lake mountain wrecked my quads in June 2019. Oh my gosh I will never forget it! I couldn't run for 6 days after it.

So sad about your friends son passing :(

Nice workout RAD, the legs will be back before you know it!

Devine, I though Adam was real man, the silent type. A little sore from last week, when do you start you big build up for Boston? ARe you going to try and PR at Boston, how cool would that be.

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

OMG!!! I'm so glad you let slow poke me tag along yesterday. There is NO WAY in a million years I could run that fast on that trail. :)

Glad Adam is feeling a bit better and let you go to the gym. Awesome workouts as always!

My core (or non-core) needs some repenting! :)

Nice running Rachel and I am so glad to hear that Adam is feeling better. :)

From Terri on Fri, Nov 30, 2012 at 15:47:23 from 108.28.226.253

glad your little man is feeling better...and your quads :)

Glad your quads are feeling better. Yeah for Sarah and her cell phone. It is hard to gget a good workout with sick kids, but you are very resourceful. I might need to borrow Sarah's phone idea sometime.

You must be putting up new curtains!!! I hope they turned out beautiful!!! Wish I lived next door so it would have been more convenient!!! If you still need any help/touch ups, let me know!!!! It would be so wonderful to catch up. Great run too!
