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: |

3.0 miles of uphill walking at 15% incline and 3.5MPH or more. Awesome workout!
Then I did calf strengthening stuff and core work.

| | Early AM kickr lab: same workout as yesterday. About the same output, except my email messed it all up. Weird, but it says my watts were 91...yeah, that would've been nice!
Boxing with Lina and then off to music with Adam.

| | Early Kickr lab: oh my! hardest ride I've done in the lab!!
2:30:00 - 60 miles, 156 Watts, 91 cadence, 1812 calories.
This stunk! 90% tempo pushes for 3 min, then 105% for 1 min...recovery? 90%!! repeated 3X and then recovery for 5 min and we'd do it again. Three sets! Then, the last 35 minutes we started at 85% and slowly dropped down to 65%. It was tortorous. I hope this makes me a better biker!!!
Went to Nick's class...he wasn't nice to me :P then yoga. It was a nice relaxing stretch yoga...aaahhh!

| | Sooooo...my leg after doing horribly on Sunday felt better and better each day! Wednesday it was practically pain free. I was going to run Thursday, but decided to be safe and hold off until Saturday. Today was finally the day to test it out!
I ended up having to run alone...poo. BUT, that also meant I got to sleep in :)
Decided to do the Shaggy Mountain extended loop from my house. In the first half mile I seriously wanted to stop and turn around. It hurt, not my leg, it was just hard! I had a mental struggle! But, by mile 1 I decided I didn't care about my slow pace. My goal was to keep running and not stop OR walk until the peak. Oh, now I was slow. about as slow as the snot in the loogie I hacked on the snow! But, I made it! To the top of Shaggy Mountain without stopping or walking. This really is a feat for me, the hill hater! Then, I ran the rest of the way home without stopping or walking either. Despite my music going at mile 6. I almost stopped to fix it, but figured I was fine and just enjoyed the ride.
Around mile 8-9 my stupid knee (where it bugged Sunday) started tightening up again. Made me worried, but my shin seemed to be doing well.
I finished with a 9:27AP and with 11+mm on the uphill, I did a good job making up some time the 2nd "half".
My leg held up well and the stiffness in the knee quickly disapated. I think I'm ready to start running next week!!!
