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.

Got up early to run with the BBK's because I knew that they were doing 5K's and that if I whimped out after just 3miles I could go home. I made it the full 6, despite my ITB causing some wonderfully exciting pain around mile 3.5 or so :) Gotta love that STUIPID, ROTTEN, GOOD FOR NOTHING, CRAZY, STINKING thing! I've got a call into the doc, we'll see.

AP: 9:11 (152) splits: 9:24 (144), 9:18 (153), 8:51 (151), 9:23 (153), 9:00 (155), 9:11 (154) *HR comment today is that I guess I don't understand why I seem to be working harder (HR wise) for the same pace I was carrying a 140 at just a couple weeks ago. Poor body must be done!*

Went to the gym for my final training session. I want to keep doing resistance, I just can't take his punishment right now.  Afterward I tried a new class: Body flow. Interesting, tai-chi, yoga, pilates, and stretching all in one class. Honestly it wasn't too bad, but when putting your head below your stomach makes you want to hurl right there on the floor and standing up at a 'normal' pace makes you get light headed...it may not be the best class for you right now!

Great job as usual. I'm sorry about the IT band.

I feel for you. Being pregnant at that stage is NOT fun. Hang in there. Forgive my ignorance, but what does ITB stand for? I hope you get feeling better soon.

I'm finally coming to a run w/the BBK's! I don't know if you'll be up to it, but I'll be at the run in Herriman this Thurs. If you need to run w/someone really slow, I'm your girl. I doubt I'll be able to go much faster than a 9mm pace.

Thanks Nancy, I hope you are feeling better soon!

Emily, thanks...it is miserable, but I think staying active is helping immensely! I'm glad you'll be there Thursday, as far as I know I'll be there! Oh, and a 9mm pace is PLENTY fast for me right now :)

Stay strong girl. I am proud of you for braving the cold this morning. I really don't know how some of you do that. The thought makes me FREEZE.

Chalk the HR issue up to some mysterious pregnancy thing. Take it easy on that body of yours. It's got some work to do. You need to find a pregnant lady yoga class or something.

From The Quiet Pirate on Wed, Nov 18, 2009 at 11:22:36 from 24.199.205.252

Good job staying active. That body flow class does not sound like the place for you right now.

I would thing there should be some kind of class out there for ladies in your "situation" that you could find.

If not, maybe you should start one. Let the gym pay you!
