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.

nothin' - absolutely nothing. Got to bed late, so I didn't want to get up early. I had to be dressed up and at church for the primary program practice by 9 to set it all up. Figured I'd do an afternoon run when it was a little warmer - HA! Got home at 12:30 and it was a MESS...so I stayed home and made rolls for our family Thanksgiving tonight (hubby's parents are going to Australia over the holiday, so they wanted to do a dinner before they left). Now, I'm just letting the pumpkin pie settle in well :) I figure a good weekend's rest will set me up nicely for a GREAT week next week.

Wow Australia sounds fun. You're quite the homemaker making pie and rolls. I'm lucky, my husband makes our pies. You're in such great shape one day off won't hurt you a bit. Have a fun Thanksgiving.

Sounds like a heavenly day of rest!!! Homemade rolls and pie are two of my faves!!! Yummy!!! (In that order ... nothing beats homemade rolls/bread/etc. -- oh wait, unless you are talking about homemade rolls with homemade raspberry jam!!)

Sounds divine!!!

Delicious. You deserve it all. Can I come over next time?

Your rolls are so yummy. I'm sure your dinner was great.

It's good that you're listening to your body and resting. There wil be other times for big miles.

Right now, enjoy the pumpkin pie and just have big smiles!

Wow. An early Thanksgiving dinner. Yum. You deserve the rest.

Was your Primary Program yesterday? How did it go?

From RAD on Mon, Nov 16, 2009 at 14:37:34 from 76.27.12.70

Thanks Nancy, I LOVE to make homemade rolls, but bread I CANT do for the life of me!!!

Teena, it was a good rest day - just wish it would've been warmer :) and YES, leftover rolls usually end up with jam on them!

Becca, come on over anytime!!

QP- mmmm....there were lots of good smiles (and those from being in too much pain to sit down - from eating too much that is!)

Carolyn, thanks and yes the program was yesterday. It went GREAT and I'm just relieved it is finally over with!! At least for another year :)

Any smiles from people who were in too much pain to stand up?
