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.

Still no end in sight on the sleeping front except to say I'm getting used to it!

Went to the gym, and since I finished my book I had more time on the TM. So, it was only 30 min on the elliptical (now I need to catch up on RW). L12 for 3.0 miles.

Headed to the TM for 6 miles. Finished a 10K in 52:50 for an AP of 8:31, I did a progressive run mile 1: 8:57; 2: 8:49; 3: 8:41; 4: 8:34, 5: 8:27; 6: 7:57 - went .1mph up every 1/4 mile then 6.0-6.1 I did @7:30mm pace and 6.1-6.2 @ 7:00mm - Felt EXCELLENT when I finished.

Okay, so I know this hasn't been my best mileage year, but here is how I'm going to break it down! I need to do 5.8 miles per day (only counting 'running' days) to hit 1000 miles for the year, so I'm going to do it! I MUST - I am determined!

Now off for a fun day of running around - it's my daughter's 10th birthday! Build-a-bear, Rock Creek Pizza and Tangled. Let's just hope the snow eases up for ease of driving. I really don't feel old enough to have a 10 year old...I started when I was 12 :)

You must've got special permission from the First Presidency.

They give extra special permission when you want to stay 22 for the rest of your life :)

Good luck on your goal! I believe in you girlfriend!!!!

Sounds like a fun day with your big girl!!! Let us know how you like Tangled.

Yes Ms. RAD you got more miles that I did today. Now keep up the great work and get more miles tomorrow than you did today.

Congrats on being a fine mommy and taking your 10 year old for a birthday to remember. God bless you both, I certainly wouldn't want to be 10 years old again, much less have a 10 year old around the house. "Tell her happy birthday for me!"

From RAD on Mon, Dec 20, 2010 at 15:00:03 from 67.172.229.125

Leslie, thanks! I honestly thought it might be too much to bite off just looking at numbers, but when I broke it down 6/day seemed doable.

Slick, gotta get those days in when I can, because they've been few and far between! But watch out...I'm comin' back! :) At this point I'm happy to have a 10 year old around the house to help with the three UNDER 10!

Happiest birthday to sweet Lauren!!!

By the way, you can do it....1000 miles, that is.
