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.

YEA! I got the go ahead to run. Doc said that it was just a very small amount of implantation bleeding behind the placenta and that since there have been no further problems in 2 weeks that it would be in the best interest of me and the baby to run. Almost did a happy dance right there!! Now to find the energy to get up early and run....

Hooray! You can run! Just please, please take it easy, you workout animal, you.

From RAD on Tue, Dec 01, 2009 at 14:59:59 from 76.27.12.70

NO worries in that department. Some days it's a challenge just to shower :) I'm just trying to stay up on the running until I feel better so I can keep it up during the good months! I'll probably only start with 3 miles a day or less, VERY slow.

From Bec on Tue, Dec 01, 2009 at 15:05:40 from 76.23.55.210

Sounds great RAD, I am happy about this. Knowing that you will be at workout might motivate me to run once again with a fearless BBKer.

From RAD on Tue, Dec 01, 2009 at 15:08:54 from 76.27.12.70

I think I'll be there next week...I have to build back up to 6. I really have little to no energy. I may just come and do what I can as well. I'm just excited to be back at it!!

From Bec on Tue, Dec 01, 2009 at 15:10:28 from 76.23.55.210

Good for you. Way to keep motivated.

From Smooth on Tue, Dec 01, 2009 at 15:43:53 from 71.52.71.251

WooHoo!!! Doing the happy dance for you! :)

From RAD on Tue, Dec 01, 2009 at 16:01:38 from 76.27.12.70

Thanks Smooth! We have to come back nice and easy, but we'll be coming back baby!! :)

From RAD on Tue, Dec 01, 2009 at 16:02:10 from 76.27.12.70

hehehe, I didn't really mean to but I called me a we - always a happy thing!

From Cal on Tue, Dec 01, 2009 at 16:15:00 from 66.133.117.3

that's awesome Rachel. i'm sure you're anxious to get back at it.

From Kelli on Tue, Dec 01, 2009 at 16:29:20 from 71.219.71.229

So when did you officially announce that you were pregnant???? I must have missed it. But this is good, I am so bad at keeping secrets!!!

See you at the gym tomorrow for our slow 3 miler.

Stay Kool, B of BS Rools out

SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!

From RAD on Wed, Dec 02, 2009 at 14:29:49 from 76.27.12.70

Cal, thanks and yes I am!

Kelli, you'll have to check out my new goals on the blog :)

Brent, VERY happy feet!

QP - now if I can keep up with you!

From Kelli on Wed, Dec 02, 2009 at 19:33:41 from 71.219.71.229

I never read the side of people's blog unless something (or someone) prompts me (unless you are new, then I read it!) So I had not noticed that change! I never change mine, guess I should. Maybe I should announce I am pregnant and see if anyone notices????

From RAD on Fri, Dec 04, 2009 at 11:38:24 from 76.27.12.70

Kelli, I had to laugh when I read your comment, because that is exactly why I put it there. A sneaky trick to see who would notice first :) Emily got it, I think because she probably hadn't read it much (if at all) before.
