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 can't believe you did that 20 times! i would've killed myself. i do agree that it is better than the dreadmill though. did you practice your sprinting? i feel ready to take you on for our little .20 competition ;) i'm going to need you to be 8+ months pregnant when we do it though...

busy day, little lady! don't forget to rest some too! so far i've had 7 donuts today. and i wonder why i can't lose any weight. hmmmmmmm.....

I slept in and showered.

KP, yeah...it gets old, but better than the TM. At least the counting keeps me entertained. I would eat more doughnuts today, but then I'd have to buy them for my kids too. Cheap>eating :) Oh, that and I think I ate most of the dozen from KK I bought on Sunday!

Paul, just add a doughnut and your list will be complete!

From Smooth on Fri, Jun 04, 2010 at 16:55:14 from 174.23.172.155

I should make a list! :)

I could never eat just ONE doughnut!

From Nancy on Fri, Jun 04, 2010 at 18:39:44 from 76.27.19.206

Good job on your check list. I ate a Doughnut today also and boy was it good.

From LuzyLew on Fri, Jun 04, 2010 at 21:32:58 from 69.169.167.157

Way to master that check list. Especially the doughnuts day. Good thing I didn't know that earlier in the day :)

From Kelli on Fri, Jun 04, 2010 at 23:09:38 from 71.219.93.114

I actually think I would rather run on the TM than run that loop on the back parking lot over and over!!! YUCK!

Glad you got everything done today, my checklist would be: run, eat, run, eat some more, shower, eat again...

Glad you have gotten in some rest this week, the date is approaching. YEAH!!!!

From RAD on Sat, Jun 05, 2010 at 22:39:47 from 67.172.229.125

Smooth, you've got too much to do to make a list :) I only do it when I have little to do! Oh, and that is why I only bought one doughnut - otherwise I'd eat more!

Nancy, I'm SO glad it was national doughnut day. I always need a good excuse to eat!

Luz, I think many places were celebrating Friday AND Saturday...you should still get one! :)

Kelli, When there is no one to talk to on the TM I have to take the loops...then I can pretend I'm running faster than I am :) Oh, and I like your checklist more than mine!
