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.

Despite being tired and getting up at 2 and 4 I HAD to get out this morning, and I'm glad I did. It took me a lot longer than it used to to get out the door, but I got out without a hitch.

Plan was to run 6-8 miles, took off and decided to do my 'sunny side up' route. Downhill there and at the end, but hills in the middle. Then when I got back to my 'hood I decided to add another mile on the end and finished off with seven. Nice morning, but I  stayed on busier roads most of the time so it wasn't too peaceful. I was reminded why I don't like to run on busy roads in the dark many times. Eye contact with drivers turning R in front of you is the only way to do it!

AP: 8:59 splits: 8:26, 8:24, 9:27, 9:41, 9:23, 8:52, 8:58, 7:34 (last .2)

Great morning run, but now I get to miss yoga thanks to primary responsibilities...blah! I guess I'll have to do p90X yoga with hubby tonight.

I think I need to do this more often! :)
