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.

Short day at the gym, had a primary meeting at 10. Took the kids to school, 45 min on the elliptical at L9 (nice a sweaty!) then ran off to the meeting - and kept my distance from all other noses :)

I need about 5 hours of a workout today to take care of what I ate yesterday!! Benihana was amazing and the surprise party afterward was AMAZING! I really wasn't expecting it, and I want to send a thanks to everyone that came, I had a GREAT time!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Rachel, (sorry, it's belated)! YAY for Benihana and surprise party! Sounds like you had a great day! How does it feel to be 30 and one day old? I remember when I turned 30 some 24 years ago, I thought that was OLD. Now 30 is SOOO YOUNG!!! Glad you celebrated big!

From Carolyn in Colorado on Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 17:42:11 from 198.241.174.15

Don't worry about yesterday's calories. It was your birthday!

I agree with Smooth. 30 is young!

From RAD on Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 17:42:49 from 67.172.229.125

Thanks Smooth, it was great! Yeah...still feel like I'm 22, I wonder if by the time I hit 40 I'll feel more like 25 :)

From RAD on Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 17:43:43 from 67.172.229.125

Carolyn, you know I've heard that calories don't count on your birthday - you may be right! I'll let them all settle and worry about it tomorrow :)

From Peggy on Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 18:15:15 from 71.213.47.209

I'm glad you had a good birthday. Sorry I missed the party, but I wish you a very happy year of being 30!

From RivertonPaul on Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 18:17:25 from 67.42.27.114

Belated birthday wishes.

From Nancy on Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 19:50:06 from 76.27.19.206

It was great to see you last night and you sure look cute. You barely even look pregnant.

From Kelli on Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 20:11:44 from 71.219.89.82

TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!!! You only turn 30 once! So sorry I missed the party, stupid bust Chili's!!!

From Shimelle on Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 20:44:01 from 75.162.234.148

Happy belated birthday! Hope you had the best 30th ever:) What a great hubby for throwing it all together. Sorry I didn't make it, a bit of a crazy night.

I'm glad you loved your party. Wish I could have been there! You know what a sucker I am for cake and ice cream...I mean ice cream floats!

Welcome to the Dark Side :-)

It's better than you can imagine, just don't pay attention to those wrinkles & chin hairs :-)

From RAD on Wed, Feb 17, 2010 at 13:55:59 from 67.172.229.125

Thanks all! It was a great time and I still am hoping all the leftover cake and ice cream 'float' :) calories don't count!

QP-I've always liked the dark side better anyway :)

From Cal on Wed, Feb 17, 2010 at 13:59:41 from 66.133.117.3

I can't believe I missed your birthday... Dang it!

But congrats and best wishes and hope you have a GREAT year!

From RAD on Wed, Feb 17, 2010 at 14:01:29 from 67.172.229.125

Thanks Cal! It was a fun time, but how can a surprise party not be? :) Hope to see you out on the road soon!
