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 kickin' it today! 30 minutes on the elliptical L12 - 2.6 miles, 250 calories

30 minutes spin, 5-6% resistance (foothills program) 9 miles, 250 calories -ITB not happy, especially last 5 minutes - had to slow cadence :(

30 minutes elliptical L12 - 2.4 miles 250 calories - audible pain suffering a few times due to the ITB, stupid thing! I had to really slow and take caution to keep it from buckling on me, but pushed through to finish.

Stretched, iced and am grumpy now - I'm really seriously done with this stupid band!!!

You are a beast...all that work with the IT pain to boot.

Will you be pool walking again tomorrow?

I'm thinking I will...hopefully I can find some company! 90 minutes is forever. Oh, and when you aqua-jog you get to join the aquacise ladies in the deep end with a floaty belt on and run and run and run :)

You've been struggling with that IT band for a long time. I know this is not what you want to do and I don't blame you, but maybe you need to lay off the bike and maybe even the elliptical and stick to the pool for a while and let that thing heal.

Carolyn, I honestly wish it was that simple, but it bugs almost as bad in the water! I can just fake it easier there. I honestly think the cortizone shots did something terrible in there - really! I NEVER had trouble doing any of these things before the shots, not even a smidgen of pain!!

WHAT IS THE DEAL???? Aww. You already know what I think you should do. After the baby go straight into surgery for the lame thing. Is there any way that you would consider that? You have to take time off for the baby anyway.

From RAD on Fri, Jan 22, 2010 at 16:58:48 from 67.172.229.125

Becca, I know...I know. I seriously would consider it (I'd do it NOW), but I don't think any doctor would :)

Great workout! Sorry about your ITB still bothering you. I hope your aqua jog goes well today and that you can find some company to do it with.
