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.

Short night and tried to talk myself out of an AM workout, but I got up and got at it...

90 minute spin class (I was a few minutes late, thanks to baby)

3.125 miles on the dizzy track (25 laps). Kept up pretty well with Becca, but when the speedy girl started running Becca went and kicked her trash. I got left behind, but was proud to be running with the speedy girl! The last mile I did start gaining on Becca, just a little, I thought about sprinting the last few laps to catch her, but I was happy in my 'comfortably hard' pace and only poured it on for the very last lap -Becca had stopped at 3 even to grab her ipod so the chase was over :(

On the drive home I kept trying to think of different ways I could get out and run again today. ppbbbttt, nothing will work; however, it gives me hope that I will remember that desire (even after getting up early) and get up Monday, despite any bad sleeping nights, and RUN.

Great job Rachel. You get a lot more exercise than I did when my kids were young. I remember doing hooked on Aerobics with kids hanging all over me and using the baby for weights.

At least you got some exercise in yesterday. I couldn't bring myself to do anything today. lol

Congratulations on the training you are able to get in with your intermittent and interrupted sleep patterns. You're inspiring and motivating. Seriously, I've got my ___ up early and ran a few times the last week and it's partly from reading up on your blogs.

WHAT?????? I had no idea this was going on! Haha, that girl was making me want to go fast. Pretty good speed session for us after that kick-trash spin class.
