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.

A beautiful foggy morning run with Becca! Honestly it was just what I needed, good therapy time. I love running with Becca, because the pace seems easy, but is usually faster than I have been running, and so it was true to form today. Thanks for keeping me going Becca!

Went out to the lake and back, but when I noticed I was going to be about 14 to finish, I had to do one more mile to hit 40 for the week. So I drug Becca on a short loop through the hood and finished feeling good. Today was another one of those long run days when I drag at first, but by the time I hit 11ish I nearly change plans to add 5-6 extra on, gotta love a feel good, go all day run!

When we got home we were both frosted head to toe from the fog. Every wispy hair on our faces was frosted, I looked like an old man with a white beard and it was wet enough in the air my long pony tail was all ratted up in a knot! Not a very pretty run, but last I checked it wasn't a fashion show :)

Frosty SnowWOMEN!!! : DD. Quite the morning, I agree. And now I contemplate going out into the sunshine just because...

From Tom Slick on Sat, Jan 29, 2011 at 16:36:45 from 69.171.160.49

Great week woman!

From Smooth on Sat, Jan 29, 2011 at 17:00:58 from 67.2.97.114

Nice run w/ Becca on a foggy frosty morning!

I an jealous!

Awesome speed and complete recovery! :)

From Bec on Sat, Jan 29, 2011 at 17:20:31 from 71.199.12.198

THANK YOU so much for that great run RAD! Like I told you this morning, there was no way I could have put any miles close to that in without you. I truly enjoyed the time we spent putting miles in the bank. Great run, awesome talk.

Hope the baby shower was a blast... Next time you should go as a princess. ;)

From JulieC on Sat, Jan 29, 2011 at 17:23:41 from 70.56.110.10

I would have loved to run with you two this morning, especially out there by the lake!! my circles and figure eights were getting to me.

From Kelli on Sat, Jan 29, 2011 at 17:46:12 from 71.219.84.215

NICE JOB! And just a week after your half. VERY NICE!!!!

From Nancy on Sat, Jan 29, 2011 at 18:54:31 from 76.27.19.206

Great run Rachel. You make running sound so easy. I actually had ice on my eye lashes and hair at the end of my run too.

From RAD on Sat, Jan 29, 2011 at 22:01:22 from 67.172.229.125

Merri, as soon as I noticed the ice beard I wiped it off. Next time I'll have to remember the picture :)

Kam, Thanks! It was a wonderful one.

Maurine, officially the next race is UVM. I think I'll try to throw down a PR at SLC 1/2, but we'll see.

Brent, it seems like it's taken ALL week, but the legs did finally feel good today.

Julie, if you're ever up for a nice SLOW run let me know. I'm always looking for good company on a long Saturday morning run!

Slick, it ended up a lot better than anticipated from the beginning!

Smooth, you will have to join us out here for a lake run some day!

Becca, I'm always a princess...didn't you know? Can't you see that I'm living my happily ever after in my fairy tale right now?!?

Kelli, you know how ornery I've been with it this week, you've heard my whining! It was nice to get out and feel good for once this last week.

Nancy, I'm a tad jealous of your donut run this morning - I could've used some of that fuel today!

From allie on Sun, Jan 30, 2011 at 19:31:38 from 174.23.123.195

From Scott Wesemann on Sun, Jan 30, 2011 at 20:54:27 from 75.162.89.170

Nice run! We missed you on Grandeur, but it looks like you had a great morning too.
