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.

Slept in. Kids off track, so I got to do a trail run with Heidi! After about a mile she could feel a migrane coming on, so we just power hiked to the top, then ran down. Total of 2.5 miles on my garmin of running. It is SO beautiful up there!! I can't wait for next week to hike all week with her!

Kids had swim lessons so we all headed to the rec center. While one was in swim I finished up my 6 miles on the TM in my Altras.

TT: 27:00 AP: 7:43

splits: 8:00, 7:47; 7:35; then progressive the last .5 to finish before swim was out.

Gotta love taper week! Just sleeping, relaxing and enjoying it all!!

You always make running sound so easy. I wish it was for me. Nice job tapering.

How are you liking the Altras? I have heard mixed reviews on them!!! I'm in a dilemma about the 2013 marathons. I need your expert running wisdom :)

I'm with Toby- wondering how you're doing with the Altras.

And as for tapering- don't forget to eat!! Tapering requires fueling too!

Nancy, thanks. Sometimes I gloss it over :)

Toby, they don't bother me for the few miles at a time I use them on the TM. I don't think my feet would take full training on them though...not yet.

QP, they're a nice easy day shoe and I'd like to keep at it with them, but meh...shoes are shoes :) Oh, I'm certainly NOT forgetting the eating! :)
