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: |

Ahh March! I feel spring in the air...I'm planning on doing a little yard work today, oohhh AND I came home from the gym and felt confident enough to open some windows and turn the heater off. I may regret it once the sun stops shinning in the windows, but right now it's AMAZING!! 45 minutes on elliptical @ L10 - 3.5 miles 45 minutes walking on TM 10% incline @ 3.2 mph If all goes well, I can start my 1 min run, 9 min walk intervals on Friday. Happy March and Good-bye months of Goose egg mileage!!! (I'm hoping there isn't a cap on how many months you can go goose-eggs...I'm almost getting worried I'll get kicked of the RUNNING blog for not running!)

| | Thanks to a bad dream, quick little footsteps into my bedroom and a mountain climb into my bed by my wonderful 2 yr old at 3:56 AM this morning...I decided to go to the early morning (5AM) spin class in Lehi (a 25 min drive). You MUST be there by 4:40 if you want a bike. Since I was up and wasn't comfortably sleeping I left my baby in the good care of his father and trudged off. Spin @ 5 was CRAZY hard, maybe I was just tired, but it was the hardest class I've taken from this teacher (he's the usual Saturday teacher). Muscle Mix @ 6 - GREAT workout, legs were feeling it - not sure I could run a race after a hard ride! drove home...slept for 10-15 minutes while kids showered. Got them off to school, then off to where else? The gym :) Body Sculpting class - not nearly as hard as muscle mix, maybe because I got some rest? 35 min TM walking 12% grade @ 3.2 mph Dr appt today, baby is still snug as a bug in a rug and happy. Unfortunately, mom's weight shot up WAY too much this month - that's what a bunch of valentines crap and birthday crap sitting around for weeks will do to you!!

| | HEY...HEY...LOOK! Miles...miles! I've got miles!! Okay, just a 1/2 a mile, but still I RAN I RAN!! I had to work today at 10, so I only got an hour at the gym (I was too lazy to go early when the alarm went off this morning). However, it was enough to get in my first run since Christmas EVE! I got on the TM, walking 10% grade @ 3.2 mph. Then after 9 minutes I got to run (I lowered the grade of course to 1%). I ran one minute @ 6.2 mph. I just started feeling the groove then looked down - 10 seconds left of my run. STINK! It went too fast. I still got to repeat the walk/run 4 more times, but it all went too fast. So, I probably did just a bit more than a 1/2 but I'm going to count it as a 1/2 since I can't figure it out exactly. Total of 55 min Walking 5 min of running! YAY!

| | Did my first Tri this morning, reverse of course. Couldn't sleep @ 4 this morning anyway, so I got up and headed to the gym. 50 minutes on the TM - 9 min of walking 1 min running, I finished the last minute of running with an additional one, so 2 min in a row :) Total: 49 min walking @ 10% grade 3.2 mph & 6 min running @ 6.5 mph 1% grade.
90 min spin class today. It was a Good class - drenched afterward. I really liked the hill intervals (speed work, but with lots of resistance, felt like hill sprints!).
1 mile swim in approx 40 min. I timed the last 2 quarters and they were just over and under 10 min, so I'll say 40 to round things out. I did stop and rest each quarter though, so total elapsed time was longer. Great workout and makes me excited to do a tri sometime, but a reverse one of course - I hate to be swim pool wet. I also had a great time hanging out with Becca, I don't know how I'd get through this 'recovery' if it wasn't for her company each Saturday!!
