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. Favorite Blogs: |

| | Mondays sometimes become work mornings for me. We have piano at 5:30AM and then until 8:30 is it getting kids up and out of the house. So, then I catch up on work from the weekend and if I have time, will go play volleyball at a church with some ladies. It is fun! But, I didn't today. So, I just worked and took Adam to kindergarten.
I did get a nice massage for my SI joints that are killing me. Not any more! But other than that it was a pretty lazy day.

| | I had an incredible run with the Newtons this morning. I truly didn't want to get up. Plus, they started 15 minutes early. sigh. I almost made excuses and went back to bed! But then, as usual, I thought about my sweet 15 year old daughter that gets up at 4:30 every morning to be in the water for swim practice at 5AM. If she can do it every day, I can do it twice a week. Suck it up butter cup! But, as I was getting ready and almost ready to leave, I realized that I hadn't heard her up at all...She had fallen asleep with the lights on last night and I thought she probably didn't set her alarm. Yup. I woke her up at 4:43 and she was in a bit of a panic, but luckily since I was up early and almost ready to go, I was able to help her so that she was able to be ready when carpool came. Tender Mercies....
The run was small, just Dave, Mandy, Mike and me; but it kept it slow :) I wasn't always in the back and I had company the whole time. I'm sure I was running a lot slower than normal, but I felt good and like I belonged and didn't struggle mentally being there on the run this morning. All of which are good things. I'm ready to fall asleep now...but I've got 2 more kids to get up and off to school and one just slept through his alarm.
I'll be off to leg day, boxing and sparring here in a couple hours. Lots of fun...so...much...fun...

| | The regular Shaggy Mountain route with the Newtons. It was actually nice and warm! I got left behind again, but well...that is par for the course. After the first meeting point I always had someone willing to hang back with me.
I did arm day at the gym
boxing class
sparring with Cyle.
A good 4 hours!

| | half mile warm up on the TM for Cyle's personal training session. I'm working on more power lifting.
Then I did boxing class and stretched and rolled my SI joints out, because it snowed like crazy last night and I spent 3 hours shoveling my driveway and the enitre circle! My back was a little wrecked.

| | No miles. I'm lazy. I wanted to sleep in. So, I did. Plus, Lauren had a swim meet so I can use needing to take her there as an excuse/rationalization as well.
I did tabata class
Boxing class
sparring - 7 full rounds. Whew.
I was tired and wanted to go home and do something with the family. I had good intentions to do an afternoon run, but since my motivation is lacking...well, I called it.
