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

4.00

Slept in. Heaven.

Rode the bike with Adam down to the rec center.

Wanted to do just 4 miles, but I hate the TM. So, I did one mile on the TM (8:27) then one mile on the track with a good push (7:01), another one on the TM (8:20), and finished off with a speedier one on the track (6:51).

TT: 30:39 AP: 7:40

I would stop the TM, wipe my face and head right out to the track, so maybe 10 seconds recovery, but not too much. It was nice to see some good speed come out of the legs after a hard workout Mon and Tues. I'm not such an embarrassment to the running community anymore :)

Finished off with my 'runner helps' exercises. Band walking, big toe/little toe heel raises, lunges, weighted stability bridges alternating leg lifts. I would do one set, then sprint one lap around the track. Did a total of 4 sets and 4 sprints. Didn't add that to my mileage for the day, because .36 miles would just screw everything up! Gotta keep miles even.

Finished off with 10 min of good stretching on the machines.

Then I rode home the long way with Adam, probably about doubled the mileage home. So, about 9 miles on the bike total.

Awesome workout and yay for the sub-7 mile. :) Your going to rock SGM Rachel. I believe in you!

Nice job with the preventative maintenance. Something I could take tips on!

Nice bike and run. I hate the treadmill too and avoid it at all costs.

From Terri on Wed, Sep 05, 2012 at 19:39:08 from 108.28.226.253

Great work out. Just curious..Is the track inside or out?

From RAD on Thu, Sep 06, 2012 at 11:34:03 from 98.202.23.178

Preston, thanks! all in a days work :)

Rachelle, your belief in me is unmatched! Thanks for the confidence I lack myself.

Nancy, I would run outside, but then I'd have to push the jogger...so I'll take the TM :)

Terri, the track is inside the rec center and goes right in front of the TM's and around the gym area. But, you can get dizzy...11 laps/mile!
