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.

I'm getting tired of not being able to enter miles, but I'm not tired because I get to sleep in the morning! :)

No spin class this morning so it was just me dripping all over the floor and the bike in the corner of the gym. They don't let you use the spin room if there isn't a class, they have one lone bike in a corner of the track. Nice views out the window though. Too bad all the track walkers had to stare at my butt every lap! suckers.

Good full hour of hard work and cardio pumping like mad! Had to volunteer at the school, so that was all I had time for.

Good news, no great news is that I don't even think about my shin walking now! The PT seems to think it is more of a nerve problem than anything, which is even better news. I've got my exercises to stretch out the nerve in the sheath so that it doesn't cause so much pain and back stretches to help at the source. I was kind of skeptical about this 'nerve' thing until last night I did the stuff and MAGIC! Seriously, the pain was GONE! I could walk, jump, skip with no pain. Crazy weird I tell you - crazy! Still some tendon/muscle damage which is most likely causing the swelling that is making the nerve react, so I must still be careful, but it's nice to know my bones aren't crumbling away. I've got got a good case of the nerves.

I think if things go well today/tonight with stretching etc that I will try just a short 3 mile run tomorrow morning. I will NOT push through pain and will stop if I feel any, but I'm hopeful that there will not be any or very little.

O man, I left you for couple of days and I'm reading about this shin problem. BUT I am glad that it is just NERVES!!! Hahaha! Seriously, I'm glad you had it looked at and got opinion from the PT and rest assured that you're not getting any sf or terrible tear of some sort! :) GOOD news indeed!

It's taper time baby! :)

Good luck with the shin. Hope you get to run tomorrow.

I'm glad you found out how to help your shin feel better. Do you have any good ideas on how to make PF feel better? I am feeling very frustrated because I can't walk or run without being in big time pain.
