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.

I thought we were supposed to taper. Your tapers wear me out.

From RAD on Wed, Nov 09, 2011 at 15:33:54 from 98.202.23.178

Have to get 40 miles in for the week, so I wanted to get the extra 15 in early so I can relax and enjoy Thursday and Friday. So, this is it for me. No more running until Saturday. You hear me?!? SATURDAY! I WILL RUN SATURDAY!!! and not just at home.

And where is that race report????

From Bec on Sun, Nov 13, 2011 at 19:43:53 from 68.206.133.141

From the looks of the blog, you are just enjoying time with your sister. You both deserve some time to hang out! Enjoy.

From RAD on Sun, Nov 13, 2011 at 20:31:40 from 65.191.243.172

Sorry all, I only have a lap top and I HATE writing race reports on the lap top, because it always times out and erases it. So I have to type it in word, blah, blah, blah...so I'm just waiting until I get home.

I did LOVE the race though! The best part was the end...serious good downhill FLY to the end for the last half mile. I wish every race ended like that!!!

Having a good time and enjoying not being responsible for another human being or picking up/cleaning up after them!!!!

Richmond, VA full is definitely on a MUST do list for anyone looking for an out of town race!

From JulieC on Mon, Nov 14, 2011 at 12:16:34 from 67.41.190.172
