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.

18 miles on the bike in an hour with intervals on the resistance up to 7% (I'd go from 2:30mm to 4:40mm!). Hip flexor still wouldn't cooperate to run - my patience is running thin! However, I wanted and got a GREAT tough cardio workout with a good sweat today!

You seem to always get a good workout one way or the other. That's rough about the hip flexor. I hope it starts behaving for you.

Great bike ride! 18 miles in an hour is a good work out. I hope your hip gets feeling better soon.

Devine Miss M - according to my chart - your workout is worth 4.5 cross training miles. Hey, record the miles, makes you feel better. Good way to maintain your quad strength.

Me too Carolyn! It's been buggin' to walk on for almost 2 months now, but between my forced rest and then sick rest I thought it would be fine - but it doesn't seem to be getting better at all :(

Thanks Michelle, when you can't hop on the TM at the gym we must find alternatives!

Brent, I just may record those miles! Thanks for the encouragement.

From Smooth on Fri, Dec 18, 2009 at 23:57:28 from 174.23.217.47

NICE ride! You got a good workout! I wonder if the hip flexor issue has to do with prego hormones affecting all the tendons and connective tissues to make the whole thing flexible. You know nature has a way to prepare for the birthing process!

From RAD on Sat, Dec 19, 2009 at 19:12:19 from 67.172.229.125

Smooth, I don't THINK it is from the pregnancy only because it's more in/down my leg than into the pelvic area. It may not be healing well because of it though...

Either way, I've decided I better not run on it until I can walk on it w/out pain.

From The Quiet Pirate on Sat, Dec 19, 2009 at 23:16:09 from 65.191.134.20

RAD- I think smooth might be onto something with the pregnancy and your hip flexor. You know how things don't always actually hurt where the problem is.

You killed that bike with 18 miles in one hour. Your cardio will be ready to run when your body is ready.

Great cross training this week.

Nice job on the bike!!! It's not easy sitting on the bike for that long.
