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.

Last night and this morning I've had a little more tenderness in my hip, so boot camp wasn't a good idea :(

Yoga this morning and then 30 minutes on my 'simulated run' on the elliptical at L8. 

Out of daycare time, so PT stuff had to wait until home. Only did the basics, but did get extra stretching in yoga so I feel okay about being a slacker :)

Yeah, maybe you should back off of boot camp. Yoga and the elliptical sound like a good combination.

From Kelli on Thu, Jan 07, 2010 at 14:16:04 from 71.219.96.112

I am sorry your hip was hurting, dang that boot camp!!! BUt you got in some good workout time today, so you are not a slacker (you never are).

Wendy said you were shaking your head "behind my back" at the second part of our workout today. I am glad I could not see your face, I think I might have cried. I have NEVER worked out that hard EVER!!!! I think tomorrow is gonna be scary!

Carolyn, yeah - it just proved to me that despite feeling better I still need to be careful with it.

Kelli, I was shaking my head. I just knew what kind of burning torture your legs were in and I couldn't help it - sorry.

From Smooth on Thu, Jan 07, 2010 at 18:55:56 from 174.23.217.47

NICE workout there!

From Bec on Thu, Jan 07, 2010 at 19:19:45 from 76.23.55.210

Really great workout. It sounds like the elliptical is the place for you.

From RAD on Thu, Jan 07, 2010 at 19:22:59 from 67.172.229.125

Thanks Smooth ;)

Becca, unfortunately it seems that way right now....

From Nancy on Thu, Jan 07, 2010 at 19:58:01 from 76.27.19.206

I'm sorry about your hip. I miss you at running group. I'm glad you can at least use the eliptical.

From Kelli on Fri, Jan 08, 2010 at 00:36:04 from 71.219.89.82

Rachel, I do not think my post came across how I meant it. I hate that about typing something rather than saying it. I was saying, Wendy said you were shaking your head and I knew you understood the pain because you have done all of those exercises with us. SO I was glad I could not see your look or I just might have cried that you were not out there with me!!!

Does that make more sense??? Sorry, that other post sounded like I was being mean or something-----not at all how I meant it!!!!

From RAD on Fri, Jan 08, 2010 at 11:18:24 from 67.172.229.125

Oh I knew you didn't mean it in a mean way. I knew you understood why I was; however, I feel bad simply because there was a part of that shake of the head that had a smirk on my face because I WASNT there enjoying the pain. That's what I feel bad about :)

From Kelli on Fri, Jan 08, 2010 at 13:29:55 from 71.219.89.82

It is okay to smirk!! When I watch him train other people, I always thing, "Stupid people---they pay for that!!!"

Devine Miss M - simulated run hey - bus ride to the start - bon fire - sweating - grunting - chasing the imaginary runner ahead - huffing and puffing - pepper spray for routy imaginary dogs - 5 gus - vasoline - snot rag - sun glasses - hat - camel back - toliet paper for emergencies - family cheering - crappy finishing shirt - only apples at the finish - just missed placing in your age divison - Never Do that imaginary run again.
