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: |

| | Boxing with Lina
3 miles on the TM at the gym to make sure that my leg would be good to go.
I had to start slow...but I ran intervals! Trying to get some semblance of speed back.
1 mile warm-up, then .2 on .2 off (8mph, 6.5mph) slow for what I used to do, but at least the turnover is coming slowly back. I did that 4X and then the last .5 mile I did at a steady 7.2mph (8:20ish pace) to push my "tempo" back to something in my normal. I did just fine by the end, but I don't want to admit how much the 8mph hurt :/
Then I did a set of weights and core.

| | Ran the shortest route to the gym this morning by myself. I remember now why I don't like to run in the cold...alone. Takes me forever to motivate myself to leave!! But, I ended with an AP of 8:45, not horrible, but whatever....
Boxing with Cyle
Kickr lab: 159Watts, 89 candence, 37.14 miles. Oh man. Intervals! They weren't as hard as I expected (the Monday class was whining about them), but they weren't easy either. 100%, 110%, 120% effort with high cadence (or try!), but it was only for 20-45 seconds and then a 20 second recovery. The hardest set, for me, was 45 sec on 15 seconds off. My body was used to the 20 second recovery and those ones were hard to recover from. But, overall an awesome workout!

| | Kickr lab early: another bum email...it is weird how they really don't show what the board does in class! Crazy. Anyway, it was 10 min tempo intervals at 85%. Not horrible, but I was SO tired!!! Just exhausted. I didn't want to go, didn't sleep well...NO motivation to do it. But, I got it done.
Boxing with Lina - killed my arms, that is all.
music drop off and then 35 min at JL playing volleyball.
I want to do Shaggy Mountain in the morning, so I'm saving my leg for that. I don't want to put too much on it the first week back.

| | The lovely Shaggy Mountain. All the Newtons were SO nice to go poky slow for me. A few times Dave and Mike would get a head, but wait and the re-group spots. But, I didn't stop! Again, if I can't have speed I'll hit endurance. So, I ran the WHOLE loop no stopping or walking. A first for me I think. I'll take it though. I felt great afterward! Shin is a little achy, but after icing it seems fine now.
Kickr lab: Same workout as yesterday morning. Luckily stats on the email were right. 156 watts, 33 miles, 88 cadence. A good push, then I did 15 min afterward just as a time filler before preschool pick up and to chat with Rachael and Debbie.

| | Oh I did NOT want to get up this morning. I am SO flipping tired. But, I talked myself into it and I'm glad I did.
2:30:00 ride at the Kickr lab. 56 miles, 147 watts (an easy day, zone 2), 81 cadence (yeah, I was tired), 1633 calories.
Got home, got kids off to school, took Adam in his jammies to Catchweight
Nick kicked my trash...oh, and I forgot shoes! I wear flip flops to the lab, because my shoes are on my bike. I usually grab my shoes and throw them in my bag...nope. At least it was a good day to not have shoes. Did a lot of stuff stradling and laying over the heavy bags...it wasn't easy!! A seriously tough workout.
Finally relaxed at a nice hatha yoga/stretching class at Catchweight. It was nice to just relax and take it easy.
Leg feels ready to take on tomorrow's 14 hilly miles.

| | First full week back and leg is A ok!
Got to run with a great group through the Shaggy Mountain Half loop today. Dave, Chad, Mike, Rob, Kelli, Shanna and I all met to brave the hills! Since I have no speed my goal was to do a continuous run to the peak again, but this would be 8 miles and many more hills. No stopping or walking! Well, being the tail end of the group, I can get away with not stopping at re-groups. They can always catch up!
Despite my lack of speed, I made it! Okay, the mud was deep on the last stretch and I tried not stopping, but my feet had 5 inches of mud and I couldn't lift them anymore, so I had to stop for 30 seconds to scrape it off. But that was it in the first 8 miles. Tough, but now I KNOW I don't need to give up and walk those hills. I can do it! Had a great finish to the run and had a great time with friends!
went home, got my protein shake in, then took a nap. I'm always tired.
12-3 was my ride at the kickr lab. 74 miles on a good zone 2 ride, 1700 calories burned. Ahhh! Tomorrow, I get to eat like a fat kid!
