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.

Kick-boxing easy and then 3.1 easy on the TM (like 9+mm pace). Good taper day. Got some Prednisone yesterday...still deciding if it's worth it to use it.

Nice easy day for you. Are you getting psyched for you race?

I excited to see how you do. (are you running with anyone?)

From RAD on Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 16:12:15 from 76.27.12.70

I am getting excited and no, I'm not running with anyone. I've wanted someone to run the last 6-10 with me for the last few weeks, but the race is so far away I just don't feel right asking someone to go so far away. Besides, I know I'll do fine...there are always plenty of people you 'pace out' with and I'm good at talking to anyone! :)

From Carolyn in Colorado on Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 17:35:17 from 24.8.167.243

Yeah, you talked to me in the middle of the Ogden marathon and look where it's gotten us!

From RAD on Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 21:08:18 from 76.27.12.70

lol! My favorite 'saying' is I'll talk to anything with ears and a mouth, and if you can't hear...that's okay - I sign! :)

I've taken prednisone several times and it really helps. You've done everything you can to be ready for your race Saturday and I know you'll do great.

Rachel, are you ready?!!! I guess I'm as ready as I'll ever be. I had to play catch up for this since I missed three weeks of running around the time of Park City. I hope that ITB plays nicely for the entire race.

From LuzyLew on Thu, Sep 17, 2009 at 13:26:27 from 208.187.197.42

I hope the prednisone gives you the help you need with that IT band. Just beware, it may swell you up while you take it. You are ready. I hope that IT band responds to the help you're giving it. Good luck winding down!
