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.

Regular 'ol Monday. Except even after catching up on some much needed sleep I'm still tired!

20 min bike @ L7 - 5.5 miles

Weights (bosu ball w/all major arms, core, squats, push-ups; 1 leg balancing weighted lunges, ITB stuff, obliques and crunches on a full ball)

20 min elliptical @ L10 - 1.5 miles

Weights (same stuff)

25 min walking on TM @ 10% grade 3.0mph (YAY no pain today!)

Weights

Working on rolling out the hip flexors so I can loosen them. As I begin to walk (and dare I say run) again I don't want them to pull and re-fracture again!

Ankle is still tender, but only hurts in extreme flexion or extension. I guess I should get used to the swollen ankle :) Just funny to see it only on  one side!

I toyed with the idea of going to spin at 5 and muscle mix at 6, but I've been so tired lately it was just too much to get up early!

Got to the 8:45 class - full body sculpting and I'm afraid my arms won't work tomorrow!

30 minutes on the elliptical @ L10. I was going to do the TM walking, but there was a lot of walking/step in class today and I didn't want to push it. Any pain and I'm back to square one!

Getting a nice bruise under my ankle now - SO pretty! Glad it's not sandal season.

Lots of sleep and still lots of tired...

Boot camp - butt kicking workout today!

30 minutes on the ellilptical @ L10- no walking again, because class did some stepping/impact stuff and I didn't want to overdue while I'm finally feeling good.

Easy early day at the gym. Had to be home by 8:20....

40 min TM walking 10% incline @ 3.2 mph

30 min Elliptical on L10 2.5 miles

60 min spin class. Good sweaty effort, but not the best Sat class I've been to :(

Again had the wonderful company of Bec! (and the book lady...oh, and she took a bike from someone to 'read' through class. They hadn't gotten a spin card so she was rightfully entitled to the bike, but still....I'd like to smack that book out of her hands and tell her to work out or go out!)
