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: |

Got to spin class early this morning - I think I slept more this weekend than I did the whole 2 weeks hubby was gone!! Still tired though...I wonder if I'll ever feel rested.
So, with the extra spin on my own I got 75 min of spinning in, then went to masters swim and got a full hour in there - pulling. A full hour of pulling - man alive my triceps are going to love me tomorrow! Felt good to get back in the pool. No kicking, but with a bouy I just pull...and pull...and pull. Good arms and core workout! |

Another day of spin! Got lucky and had Kelli and Wendy in class with me. It was nice to have some company...even if I couldn't talk during the whole class because I was dying :)
Decided that if I am going to walk the 5K on Saturday I'd better start trying to walk a decent amount of time in this boot. So, I finished with 45 minutes on the TM. Walking at a speedy 2.7 - 3.0 MPH. It is a lot harder to walk in this darn boot than I'd like to admit. 2% incline and a book in my face. Finished 2.14 miles in 45 mintues...yuck, that was depressing. Especially because it was so hard. I still would have a mile to go to finish the 5K. Back to spin tomorrow, I'll try this walking thing later - it's too depressing right now. |

| | You know, I really feel good about my workouts - until I open the calendar and see a whole bunch of blanks...all over every day...nothin'. Dang it. I try to flip past that calendar as fast as humanly possible. Watch out Mr Calendar, I'll be back soon - and with a vengeance! Well, I went a little crazy today. Got up at 4:45 to get to the gym in time to do the 5:30 and 6:30 spin classes. If you don't get there by 5:10 your chances of getting a pass are slim to none! Walked about 10ish minutes on the track before class and then got it started. Two classes back to back - wow, Danielle is a great teacher! The 2nd class we spent the first 30 minutes IN the saddle, oh how I love her! :) Well, as I was leaving the gym (and going to cancel my daycare reservation) I remembered about masters swim today. Shoot. I love it and want to go - so I will. Went home and got the kids ready and off to school...then went back to the gym. I was early enough I decided I might as well hop into another spin class. Yes, my 3rd of the morning. I'd had a good 90 minute break, I was ready to go again :) Then after a quick diaper change for the baby (he was nice and timed it right between classes!) I went to masters swim and did 45 minutes of pulling again. Dang, I swear my arms better be ripped by the time I can kick again!!! Good 4 hours at the gym - now, it is time for a nap :)

Just one spin class today - felt like a slacker! :) Full 60 minutes of riding, I'm a little anal about it that way. Great class, Heidi is a nice outdoor-ish spin teacher.
Walked 45 minutes again. Made it to 2.2 miles today at 4% grade, the pace was 2.8 - 3.0 except the last minute I bumped it to 3.5 to really push :) yeah...it is so depressing. Oh well, we do what we can! |

yeah... awesome time, I know. Hey, at least I wasn't last. All my kids beat me - and not by just a little. My last mile was my fastest - under 15! I stopped at the turn off from the half course for a minute or two to cheer on halfers as they passed.
I'm just glad it took me less than an hour - how sad is that?!? New boot walking PR, please don't ever let me have another one of those - PLEASE!
It was rainy and cold, but it was great to be out enjoying the race atmosphere and then cheering everyone in at the finish! Great morning. I just love watching awesome runners pushing their hearts out to the finish!! Congrats to you all!! |
