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.

Feel like death warmed over today...on top of the usual lack of energy and nausea, my head is going to explode, my voice is gone and I want to crawl back in bed but have 2 million things to do (or pick up/clean in the house!) before the sitter comes tonight. Special occasion to celebrate tonight for my cousin (grew up more like a brother), so it must get done. Maybe I'll just hire someone....

Sorry you're sick. You've got my sympathy.

Housework can wait. Your sitter won't care if your house isn't spotless.

You should rest and make sure you're ready for Cousin's big event.

I'll bet you've got a super neighbor who would help out if you asked :-)

The only problem is that the house hasn't been touched since Tuesday...no one should live in a mess like this, let alone visit or work here!

I'm too embarrassed to have anyone I know here to help :)

From Smooth on Fri, Dec 04, 2009 at 13:20:55 from 71.52.65.202

Oh Rachel ~ Seriously, DON'T be embarrassed! Listen to your sister! We know how little people make messes faster than you can pick up or clean up. Besides, you're feeling sick. Your friends, neighbors and special cousin will understand! No worries about a clean house. Wish I could come and help you! Someday we just have to go into survival mode! Hope you feel better REAL SOON!

From RAD on Fri, Dec 04, 2009 at 14:30:11 from 76.27.12.70

Thanks Smooth, I'm trying to enlist the help of my slaves...er, uh I mean children to help me out!

From LuzyLew on Fri, Dec 04, 2009 at 15:37:34 from 208.187.197.42

Focus on having a good time tonight. You have something fun to look forward to that should hopefully take your mind off the rest. Have fun tonight!

From Carolyn in Colorado on Fri, Dec 04, 2009 at 17:36:30 from 24.8.167.243

Don't worry about cleaning the house. Just rest and have a good time tonight.

From Kelli on Fri, Dec 04, 2009 at 17:39:11 from 71.219.71.229

I hope you got some rest and are feeling better! Have fun with the special occasion. Do not clean to much for the babysitter, you will only be disappointed by the mess you come home to!!!

From RAD on Sat, Dec 05, 2009 at 00:13:00 from 76.27.12.70

Thanks Luz, it really was a beautiful night! I love to feel the presence of angels!!

Carolyn, I just did what I had too...nothing more!

Kelli, the problem is that this is the babysitter that cleans if there is a mess...so I HATE having her clean up my house and fold my laundry. She is amazing though :)

From Walter on Sat, Dec 05, 2009 at 00:32:04 from 76.27.13.75

Geesh, I truely feel bad for what you have to go through. Hope you feel better.

From RAD on Sat, Dec 05, 2009 at 00:45:34 from 76.27.12.70

Walter, just another 10 weeks and I'll be done with the nausea...then I can cope with life! I'm hoping the cold goes away ASAP and that the energy comes back in a week or two as I get into the second trimester!! I wanted this...remember?

From Walter on Sat, Dec 05, 2009 at 00:51:26 from 76.27.13.75

I thought I had morning sickness myself. I think it was my body rejecting the cold! I dont remember you telling me you were looking forward to getting knocked up. haha

From RAD on Sat, Dec 05, 2009 at 01:02:25 from 76.27.12.70

sympathy pains...yeah, yeah - you men know nothin'!!!

Oh, and I don't think I told many, but yes I was looking forward to it for quite a few months before it actually happened. Craig likes to remind me of that when I try to complain :)

From Nancy on Sun, Dec 06, 2009 at 08:15:52 from 76.27.69.172

Rachel I'm sorry you are feeling so sick. I hope you had a nice time anyway. Maybe if you leave you house messy long enough your husband will clean it.

From Kelli on Mon, Dec 07, 2009 at 22:24:45 from 71.219.71.229

HOW ARE YOU TODAY???? I was so bummed you did not come join me after class today (since you were not there). But it was nice to see your cute smiling face on 134th!!

From Bec on Tue, Dec 08, 2009 at 00:24:51 from 76.23.55.210

:(. Feel better. It sounds like you need some soup.

From RAD on Tue, Dec 08, 2009 at 12:41:01 from 76.27.12.70

Nancy, I constantly feel guilty lately, because the only time anything GETS done is the few hours a day my hubby is home! AND the only reason I have clean clothes :)

Kelli, If I didn't still feel like crud and have no energy I would be there. It's hard enough growing new kidneys on 800 calories a day (I'm guessing here!). It's hard to be sick on top of everything plus not being able to eat!

Becca, tried soup...tummy didn't like it much :(
