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.

Boot camp - butt kicking workout today!

30 minutes on the ellilptical @ L10- no walking again, because class did some stepping/impact stuff and I didn't want to overdue while I'm finally feeling good.

You need lots of sleep. I'm glad you're finally feeling good.

I'm glad you got lots of sleep. You really need sleep when you are pregnant. Great workout as usual.

Devine Miss M - lotto numbers have been bought (may be rich soon and moving to beverly hills that is, - don't know nutting about expectang and working out? If you don't mind the question, when are you expecting? My oldest daughter is due Aug 30th. Elip is always a good workout, good job - cross training miles count, every hour at a good effort is worth 4 or 5 miles of running cardio work.

Stay Kool, Never Bear, B of BS Rools out

I hope you can catch up on some rest soon. I am glad your pain is easing up, you are smart to not push it too much and let the injury be completely healed.

Hey smarty pants...glad you're feeling good, even if u are tired. That's just the extra work you're doing all day feeding & growing your little track star.

Thanks all - I'm trying to get sleep, but I swear I could sleep all day and I'd still be tired!

Brent - I'm due June 27th, just a couple months before your daughter.

QP- I hope he's not a track star, I'd hate to be stuck watching boring track meets :)
