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.

Pounding headache this morning, so I decided to make it a simple yoga day and take a rest. 

Arms and back last night for p90X and tonight is yoga. WOW that Tony sure loves his warrior series!

Your short-term goals are strangely reminiscent of the Grand Slam. Sounds like a fun year ahead.

enjoy your yoga day!

Sorry you had a headache! I can not do Yoga with a headache, all of that upside down stuff is NO fun!

Get some sleep!

From Nancy on Thu, Oct 28, 2010 at 21:47:49 from 76.27.19.206

I'm sorry about the headache. I hope you get some sleep tonight.

seriously? Halloween candy isn't motivation enough?

How about awful waffle hashbrowns?

Home made pina colada ice cream?

I'm impressed you're doing that p90x. I'll be waiting for my personal preview later this month!

Sorry about the headache! Hope it's all gone today!

I like QP's motivation! :)

GOOD LUCK & have fun tomorrow at the Halloween Half!

Is the headache gone? Are you ready to race? Are you dressing up?

From Tom Slick on Fri, Oct 29, 2010 at 22:51:52 from 69.171.160.129

Does the term "burn out" meaning anything yo you????? Lets talk!

I went out to Wendover with my boys last night and wone some of there money last night, It's tough on an old man to stay up all night and gamble....

Race report! I demand a race report. I am sure you are off Halloweening right now.

From The Quiet Pirate on Sat, Oct 30, 2010 at 19:17:13 from 71.77.158.102

Bec: I've heard some of it, and it's good...but what you should really be demanding is a race photo!!
