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.

Still not feeling up to 'snuff' or even enough to show my 'snot face' at the gym. Too many people might spray me with the disinfectant spray mistaking me for a big germ! 

Using shoveling piles of snow for my calorie burners...not that I'm getting to take in more than 600-800 calories per day. I'm sure if I could actually eat I might be able to kick this cold and feel like I can run again :)

Poor RAD. You're really have a rough time, aren't you. I hope you get feeling better soon!

From Smooth on Tue, Dec 08, 2009 at 15:17:10 from 174.23.201.210

NO fun catching a cold while you're having the 9 months flu on top of it! SO SO SO SORRY!

Shoveling snow is great for weight training!!! HANG IN THERE!!!

From Burt on Tue, Dec 08, 2009 at 15:21:42 from 12.231.112.98

Be careful not to turn into a snotsicle.

From RAD on Tue, Dec 08, 2009 at 16:22:48 from 76.27.12.70

Thanks Carolyn, today is better - hoping tomorrow I'll get back at it!

Smooth, it's all rotten, but I am SO grateful for the opportunity it's hard to whine.

Burt, ALMOST happened this morning actually....

From Emily on Tue, Dec 08, 2009 at 17:03:18 from 71.219.157.162

Being pregnant AND sick is the worst! I hope you get feeling better soon! Let me know when you're up to it and we'll go for a walk/jog/run. Take care!

From Brent on Tue, Dec 08, 2009 at 22:20:13 from 76.8.201.223

Devine Miss M, drink bolthouse or naked (naked is an antioxidant drink), in the produce section, refrigerated, makes a big difference if taken everyday, will make you feel much better. How does it feel to be a snot nose kid again? ha ha- hope you feel better quick, mine took almost a month, just getting back fully.

Stay Kool, B of BS rools out

RAD- you're in survival mode right now. Just work on being healthy. Let some local boy scouts shovel your snow if you need a break.

Take care of you & baby for now.

From RAD on Wed, Dec 09, 2009 at 14:47:49 from 76.27.12.70

Emily, the brain is willing, but the body is weak! :)

Brent, I may have to try it. My stomach is pretty picky nowadays though. I hate eating anything with flavor for fear of having to taste it again! Almost a month?? REALLY??? I'm not sure I can survive...that...long...

QP- staying alive! staying alive! oh, oh, oh, oh -ohhhhhhh!

From Smooth on Wed, Dec 09, 2009 at 16:29:46 from 174.23.201.210

Stay alive and warm! Try warm chicken soup, a book and cozy blanket!

From RAD on Wed, Dec 09, 2009 at 18:29:03 from 76.27.12.70

Smooth, you are so stinkin' sweet! I only wish I could eat chicken soup. So far today I cannot satisfy the stomach beast. You'd think that when your body is fighting off multiple infections (and growing an extra human) that it would WANT to eat and have nourishment! Not even my ol' standby of pears could help today :( Now I can't eat them anymore!!

From RAD on Wed, Dec 09, 2009 at 18:30:14 from 76.27.12.70

Oh, I did go to the doc and I've got a sinus infection (thus the exploding head feeling) and he gave me some zofran to help the nausea. I'm hoping only a couple more days of misery until I can see the light!!

From Kelli on Thu, Dec 10, 2009 at 19:05:08 from 71.219.71.229

Mike asked about you today, he just does not understand why anyone would get pregnant and be miserable...but he is a MAN!!!

I need you to come run or walk by me on the treadmill so we can discuss Biggest Loser so you MUST get feeling better right now!!!!

From RAD on Thu, Dec 10, 2009 at 20:30:21 from 76.27.12.70

Mike's an idiot! Really?

Anyway, I'm pretty sure I'll be there tomorrow and I'm thinking I want in on the JRP Lehi run with you and Smooth on Saturday - I'll pace you on my bike :)

I really need to get out and do SOMETHING especially with my running friends I miss so much :(

From Bec on Fri, Dec 11, 2009 at 00:15:55 from 76.23.55.210

Get better. I'm contemplating JRP. I sure do miss a lot of running pals.

From Kelli on Fri, Dec 11, 2009 at 09:38:49 from 71.219.71.229

It would be great to see you! I am actually going to the gym today (Friday) because it is just too cold to run outside alone. If I have friends to run with, it seems warmer!
