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 wimped out on the 10 mile Newton loop and met Becca (since she got in town yesterday) at the gym. Kelli was there with Scott, I thought for sure she'd be at home in bed, because my sleep in days are precious!

We started on the track and Kelli joined us for some laps as well waiting for Scott to finish up his workout. 2 miles on the track, no idea on pace.

3 miles on the TM - 25:30 AP: 8:30

2 miles on the track - not timed.

3 miles on the TM - 24:40 AP: 8:13

What a wonderful morning workout chatting along! The only way to survive the TM!!! I'm SO excited to have Becca back for the month :)

Yeah for such a fun run! It was a running party! I hope Adam has been nice!!

Awesome fun!

Nice running lately! By the way, it's time to update your running accomplishments and short term goals. You rocked them!

Inside or out having friends to talk to always makes the run better :)

From Scott Wesemann on Wed, Dec 12, 2012 at 10:01:18 from 66.232.64.4

Maybe I need to find someone else (besides myself) to talk to when I run on the TM. I'm sure I would like it more. BTW- When I talk to myself on the TM it is a lot of cursing.

Glad Adam let you have some good gym time today.

Toby, he is doing better...this week :)

Terri, I'm sure you'd agree running is always better with friends!

Russ, you are right. Man....goals...I need to figure those out. Speaking of tris I actually got an invitation to some National Championship Oly distance for my finishing time at one of my races this year. HA! Surprised me. I guess they're just in it for the money :)

Carina, AMEN!

Scott, It is kind of creepy when you do that :)

QP, Well, Adam didn't do the gym on Tuesday. I went early so as to relieve the poor workers in there. Today he did great though!
