Best 5K: Spanish Fork 21:55 05/30/09 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: |

| | Rest Day as always! However, I truly was still so happy from my run and day yesterday that I was just on cloud nine. Poor Daisy was sore and doing little walking, but a lot of resting. But, oh how I wish I could feel that happy every day. Running is the best.

| | Played with my sweet Reed and took him on a walk to different playgrounds to try and find a dry slide. But, he just fell asleep. So I got a nice recovery walk :)

| | Got up early and after Saturday didn't want to do Tuesday ten and no one was willing to go along, so I just did my 7 mile loop along the trails to Monarch Meadows and back. It had snowed just enough that it was crunchy crust on top of the frozen rain/ice. I thought I was fine until about 3/4 of a mile in I slipped pretty good and fell on my butt and my arm hurting my shoulder as I tried to break my fall. So, then I started going slower watching for the slippery snow. But I still got the full run in!
Took Adam to school, walked on the TM for 30 minutes then did a lift class at the gym to round out the day.

| | Treadmill miles with 2 1/4 mile pickups and 2 1/2 mile pick ups at low 8's - high 7's. It feels good to put some speed down. BUT I jumped off the tread when I was done and because of my weak shoulder I kind of fell when I should've been pushing myself up and so my foot missed the edge of the treadmill and slid down the outside edge. I was fine, just laughed. BUT I now have a HUGE hematoma on my shin and the swelling is so bad I just want to cut it open and let it drain. So, I've got compression socks and ice on it while my feet are up.
Oh, I did my bike/lift class afterward as well...gotta get it done :)

| | Shaggy Mountain alone...but it was good. I still got up and out and it was snowy, so I can't blame others for not driving to my house! I did well until at the top of the first hill on the dirt road I rolled my ankle and fell. I was breathing hard so I had to recover and sit in the snowy road for a few minutes...good thing no one drives there! Then I started going slower and the mud wasn't frozen in places so it was a squishy mess and I gave in and walked. Then on the downhill after the new pavement my feet slipped out from under me becuase the mud WAS ice. I landed on my rear and back and then hit my head on the ground. I again stayed there for a good minute to recover...sigh. All the good, the bad and the ugly this week. I did finish the run slowly, but surely the rest of the way with NO issues. I came home and I KNOW I had recorded my run because the miles dinged at all the right spots and I knew it had finished and my HR had gone down to recovery levels when it dinged...but I must've deleted the dang thing!! So, I don't know my pace, but it might just be better that way this week. The snow globe run was fun though, can't complain about that!

| | I decided on a loop I could do that I've never done before from Wheadon Farms. I wasn't sure how long it would be, but I figured at least 8. The only issue is, it was all uphill home and I did a trail section as well at the end. The snow wasn't my friend, BUT I DIDN'T FALL!! The first day after 3 that I didn't hurt myself on a run. So, it was slow and when I hit the snowed in trail there was a slight bit of walking up a hill and then some slogging through a long puddle that I thought was frozen. Wet feet and snow logged trails make for some fun memories. I ended at almost exactly 9 miles and it was a perfect cool down and then jump in the car to head to Athlecare.
A good start to the weekend.

| | Ahh, the beautiful day!! I got to run the MCT with Smooth. It was a nice, easy run with good walk breaks as well. Smooth isn't quite back to where she was before she got sick this winter. But neither am I, so I just enjoy the miles! How can you not with Smooth?!? It was a lovely morning, weather and company wise. Almost 4 hours on my feet is always a good day, I'll totally take it.
