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.

Forgot to make a daycare reservation - crap. So, I set the alarm for an early run, but then figured I would call. If they had room I'd go back to sleep and do my run at the gym and get to do my swim class. I missed it last week! Well, they had room. So, I got my cake and ate it too! Except, then I got there. 

I usually only make a reservation for 9, because 10 never fills up and I just add it on when I drop the kids off. Except today 10 was full :( I could only do the one hour and this meant I would miss swim class. CRAP! Really?!? If I was only going to get to run for an hour I would've done it early this morning and not paid for daycare to run on the TM. Poop. Oh well. On the way out I told my swim teacher why I wasn't coming and she said she would be swimming tomorrow so I could workout with her. Awesome. Great compromise.

I did 6 miles on the TM in 49:30 AP: 8:15 - miles until 4.25 were all at 8:20 .5% incline. Then until mile 5 I went 8:13. Final mile started at 7:57 @ 5.5 went to 7:47 then progressive every .05 on the last quarter to the finish to top out at 7:19mm. Cooled down walking for 3 minutes.

Came home and did the shred L3, since I'll be missing weights tomorrow so I can swim. Lots of planks on that one, so I didn't do my 60/60/60 planks and push-ups at the end. I'll have to find a way to throw them in tomorrow.

Sure miss my morning running partner. So much easier to get out and run with someone else.

Only one thing worse than running on a DREADMILL, Thats having to pay to run on one!!!!!Wow woman, look at your workouts! Whats your next conquest? Wanna train to do a 50 miler with me in the future ?

This workout makes me tired reading about it. Not really the run itself, the logistics. You did a great job coming home and doing some weights.

I am with you on having someone to run with, so much more motivating! I really miss our chatty runs.

sorry about the scheduling conflicts, but way to make good use of your one hour. NICE run today.

Wish you lived close to me! :( We could take turn pushing baby in the stroller while chatting away and the miles would fly by!

WAY to still get the most of your run and workout today. Happy swimming tomorrow!

Paying to run on a treadmill really stinks. One of these days your kids will be old enough that you can leave them home alone. I promise that the time will come.
