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.

Total Distance
3.15

Made a conscious decision to sleep this morning and run if baby would let me after yoga at the gym. My achilles started buggin' last night, so I iced, rolled and stretched and decided to take it nice and easy the next couple days in order to be able to do a long run Saturday. After yoga it felt SO much better!!

Hit the TM with Kelli for just a few miles to run out some residual soreness from workouts this week. Kept it at an easy 9:30 pace for the first 2, then started bumping it down and finished at 8:30mm. Then ran out the last couple minutes (total of 30 minutes) at that pace, so I ended up with the extra .15 miles.

Missed yoga like crazy and am now even more convinced I need to do more stretching and rolling at night as I build up my miles!

way to be smart and take care of the buggers before they turn into anything serious. go yoga!

You are getting your mileage up really quick. Be careful with injuries - your body is still readjusting to post pregnancy recovery.

From RAD on Thu, Jul 29, 2010 at 14:31:49 from 67.172.229.125

allie, yoga is my favorite part of the week! I usually try to do some at home, but it's just hard to find the time to stretch with a baby in my arms :)

Maurine, I really am worried about getting injured! I know my cardio is okay and recovering quickly, but my body is going to take some time to catch up and sometimes I'm not patient. I've been trying to find some 'low mileage' marathon training plans - haven't really found one that seems to click with me. The plan is to hit 30 this week then only up miles 5 per week. SGM is just putting a lot of fear in me! I don't feel like I have enough time to build slowly, but know my body won't take a big push. It's that mind over body thing all runners struggle with I think.

Do lots of elliptical if you want to build-up without the wear and tear.

I have been hitting yoga again. It is helping tremendously!!!

Glad you got at least a little sleep! :)

I've only done Yoga once this year and I really thought it was hard but it gave me a good workout and gave me some good stretching. I think you should sleep in as much as you can.

From Toby on Thu, Jul 29, 2010 at 23:11:24 from 216.194.124.37

I need to do more stretching too. I always run out of time!

From David on Thu, Jul 29, 2010 at 23:57:45 from 12.238.29.16

Is that your new baby??

From calliej on Fri, Jul 30, 2010 at 00:40:24 from 97.126.140.212

Glad you are doing well. Listen to your body and take it easy. If I had just had a baby my body would be say "what are you dong?" But I'm not as in shape as you are. You go girl!!!

From RAD on Fri, Jul 30, 2010 at 10:17:12 from 67.172.229.125

Paul, I've thought about that; however, I feel like my body needs to get used to the 'pounding' of running again.

Teena, oh how we love the yoga! Wish I had more time for it.

Nancy, honestly I think our class is more of a stretching class than a 'yoga' class, but either way I LOVE it!

Toby, no kidding! it's home and then off to the 500 other things we need to do, stretching usually takes a back seat.

David, yup! He was born June 22nd, if you look back in the last couple weeks I have some other pics of him as well.

Callie, trust me...it says that all the time :) I'm just not listening.

From David on Sat, Jul 31, 2010 at 15:51:28 from 12.238.29.16

Hey that's only 3 days after my birthday! That's cool. He's a cute little guy :)
