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.

Another sleep in day. Skiing and then racquetball date night wiped me out. I think I was dehydrated. Either way, I just wanted to sleep this morning. So I didn't go to the gym, but did my outdoor TM again while the kids stayed home doing chores :)

Took Lucy with me, she used to run 13 miles with me and not complain, but I haven't taken her out a lot and she is getting old. She runs slow, but I pulled her 3 miles! I like running with my puppy. 

It was windy out there, and it is garbage day in our 'hood. Not a good combination. I spent some time stopping to pick up trash that had blown out of the cans. I guess you could call me the neighborhood garbage lady :) up and down the street, picking up garbage...with the dog in tow!

AP: 9:00 splits: 9:14, 9:30, 9:35 (drop off Lucy), 8:18, 8:22 (more like it!)

I like this run. :) Good ol' Lucy! Garbage day in the wind can be rather stinky too.

Missed you on my long run today. The road I ran on was only big enough for one person. I was imagining one of us being hit by a car if we had been together. I know that is a gross thought, I was just so bored and pretending you were with me.

Ewww.. The wind on garbage day always makes such a mess!! Good job getting out and with the dawg!! :)

Sounds like a fun date night Rachel. Great running this morning. Running with dogs is so hard! I am constantly pulling my dog along and then every once in a while she wants to sprint? what the just run normal you dang dog! ha!

Becca, that is too funny! You know I am always a stride behind you, so we would've been good anyway :)

Carina, no kidding! I don't understand why garbage day is always hurricane wind day.

Rachelle, we are doing weekly date nights on Thursday after the kids go to bed to go play racquetball for an hour. It is nice to get out and do something fun...and free! But, last night I was tired and we both kept just hurting ourselves, it was quite comical! and yes, my dog is the same way sprint and first then I have to drag her home! Which is why the first 3 were so slow, I kept trying to encourage her, but I guess she couldn't understand me :)

You'd better get that Lucy into shape!!! Good luck tomorrow with the race...can't wait to hear the report!

Dogs are really smart. You are lucky to have 2.

Way to go neighborhood garbage lady :)

Toby, I hope you're having fun on your trip and that your 17 went well!!

Kam, blonde moment...I don't get it.

Bye-wing, happy to oblige :)

I guess I had the blonde moment. I thought there was Lucy and a puppy. I take it Lucy is the puppy?
