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.

Yoga --- ahhhh, calms the nerves and the body. Calves are feeling better daily, lets hope another 48 hours and IB helps get them to 100% by Saturday. Sounds like it's going to be one HOT run, I'm all for heat, but yuck...I guess it's motivation to run faster. Should be finished by 11, still is awfully hot by then!

Onward and Upward!

Travel safely everyone and I hope to catch you all there (those of you going anyway) - GOOD LUCK!!!

Good luck on Sat rad. I'll look for you. Are you going to wear one of your crazy shirts? :)

From RAD on Thu, Sep 30, 2010 at 13:26:39 from 67.172.229.125

Couldn't get a good shirt/saying together this time around. So, it'll be my Red Hot Pink Chicks shirt - black w/pink RHPC on the front and silver "diamonds and titanium is what we're made of" on the back. Simple, but a good shirt - hopefully not too hot in black.

GOOD LUCK to you! Are you meeting us at the firepit? If so, then I will see you Sat morning! Do you have a goal time?

From RAD on Thu, Sep 30, 2010 at 16:27:11 from 67.172.229.125

Smooth, I don't know where to go at all - I'm lost, like a little puppy and need people to help me :) Which firepit do you meet at? I'd love to see you!! Goal time...hmmm, well, lets see:

Happy: under 4 hrs

Excited: BQ (3:40)

Rockin': 3:35 ish...

Good luck Sat. Hopefully get to see everyone at the fire pits.

Rock on Sis, Rock on.

Black might be making the hot problem worse. Take a white shirt too, in case you change your mind.

From KP on Thu, Sep 30, 2010 at 18:09:46 from 173.24.255.248

Good luck!!! Good luck!!! Good luck!!! Good luck!!! Good luck!!! Good luck!!!

Good luck RAD! Thanks for training with me this go around. Stay strong mentally. I know you can kick major behind at this race.
