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.

Had to 'work' all day yesterday 9-8, and being the lazy mother I am didn't want to get up early and exercise, so I got nuttin'!!

Made up for it a little today. Did Elliptical 30 min @ L11, then bosu, PT crunches and push-ups. Repeat elliptical for 20 min @ L11 and strengthening stuff then one last repeat of 20 min @ L11 with a final strengthening round. I was 10 min late for the nursery, but didn't get yelled at :)

Oh, and best news: this is the first time my ITB hasn't yelled at me during elliptical!! I'm feeling some 'healing' going on. Hip was tender yesterday - no idea why - so I'm putting off starting back to walking another week :( I just don't want to push it too much too soon!!

Home to stretch and blog, now to catch up on all the crud I didn't do yesterday....

VERY good workout my friend. I think that I am a fan of the elliptical. The elliptical must be our friend. Let me know if you ever want to take that beast on for 120 minutes. I think we could do it!!

Excellent on the ITB healing & elliptical. I hope that all the 'cross-training' takes care of that thing once and for all. It takes so long for that stuff to get better. 2 hours of elliptical? Man, I could only do that in front of a very good movie....good luck with that challenge!

It sounds like you made up for it a lot, not a little.

I hope you've got a lot of healing going on.

Great workout! I am glad you were able to do the elliptical with tons of pain. I understand how hard it can be to get workouts done early. I have to run early so my husband can leave for work by 7:00. It is hard to get up sometimes.
