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.

Shoot. I didn't post this all day, because I thought I could get to the gym and throw down another 4 for good measure to do 12 on 12/12/12....nope. Hubby still isn't home from work, so I'll just have to make up for it tomorrow.

4 miles on the track with Becca while we waited for 2 treadmills together to open up. If I had to guess I'd say we were at an 8:30ish pace once we got into a rhythm. Kim was letting us know the first few warm-up laps were much too slow! :)

Finally jumped on the TM to finish up and just plodded along at 8:27 until the last mile then went progressive. TT: 33:00 AP: 8:15

Then while Becca did stretching I did my PT weights: Monster walk, lunges, big/little toe calf raises and weighted one-leg bridges.

It is SO nice to have Becca at the gym AND Adam had a good day in day-care. Can't beat a morning like that.

It almost sounds too fun to even be a workout. :) So glad you girls are getting some good quality time together. I'm only completely jealous!

And if anyone deserves a great running buddy and a nice little boy - IT IS YOU!!! Have a great one Rachel (I sure do miss hanging with you! Do you have anything else that needs sewing???)

Slick, right now I'm just enjoying the easy life :) I'll get those goals going soon. The first on the horizon is Boston!

Rachelle, yeah, I'm enjoying the company! If you want to run the 11 lap mile you can join us any morning!

Toby, I need help - yes! I was just telling my mom this morning about the help I need and that I was just going to bring lunch to your house and hang out while you sew! I just need to pin and measure...blech :)
