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.

Total Distance

6.00

I.am.so.tired.

I think I almost fell asleep on my run this morning, if the run didn't feel so hard, like I was going to faint and keel over of exhaustion, I just might have fallen asleep. Found a nice patch of grass and laid down....

Best part? It is NOT getting any better until Sunday. Sigh. I may just have to take tomorrow off.

I did my Mirabella UP route in honor of Allie getting to do Sunnyside UP after a long hiatus. I'm not used to running this route in reverse, but it always seems easier afterward than I psych myself up for beforehand.

Pace was a little faster today, but still nowhere near where it was back in Feb/March. My back/side is still bugging me, my hip flexor is worse than its been in a month due to slipping on the pool deck Monday and jarring it funny and I'm just tired and achy all over. I think half of my push on the pace was that I was racing the clock. Trying to get home before my neighbor came over to drop off my 'work' this morning. Beautiful views of the sunrise going out and coming home today.

AP: 9:09 splits: 9:08, 8:46, 9:10, 9:40, 9:33, 8:36 (7:00 pace for the last 20 feet over 6 miles. I love it when I get a fast finish like that...even if for just 20 feet :)).

Now I'm off to drag 4 kids around Lagoon all day by myself. Luckily, bye-wing will be there with me to help divide and conquer with 2 of her children as well. Hot, standing in line, sticky sugar at every corner, no where to sit, grouchy kids from not sleeping for the last 4 nights, getting home at 11PM then getting up to run in the morning....yeah. I'm really excited.

I think I need a little cheese with my whine this morning....

or just some sleep!

Great job getting it done! Sometimes summer is so exhausting with the heat and the long days! I think you should give yourself a break and sleep in tomorrow! I did today and it felt great!! Have fun at Lagoon :)

I am exhausted just reading your blog! I will go take a nap for you! :) Have fun at Lagoon...I'm sure the kids will! :)

Time for you to get some well deserved rest. You might have to pencil in more "you" time into that busy schedule.

Good job going for a run, even when you were really tired. Obviously, I chose the other option.

Hope you can catch up on your sleep soon. Let me know if you want me to take a nap for you. :)

Hope you had fun at Lagoon! I can not stand that place.

Carina, I think I will take your advice! :)

Smooth, Oh thank you! I need it :)

Terri, Kids go back to school 7/26...not much summer left so we're in cram mode.

Allie, When I first mentioned it I remember you saying that it was much like your Sunnyside up, so I had to...just for you!

Bye-wing, I might've fared better had I chosen to sleep. We all might've been happier the first part of the day :)

Kelli, Once a year...only once a year! TOO much stress and anxiety for me.
