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: |

| | wow, I honestly didn't realize I hit a whole mile today until I just figured it out - YIPEE! So, another Monday *sigh* 60 minutes on the TM: 8 min walking 10% grade @ 3MPH; then run 2 min 1% grade @ 6.5 mph. Repeat it 5 times, total of 10 min running, 40 min walking @ grade - 10 min cool-down at 5% grade. Weights; mostly upper body on the bosu ball - I think I hit all the major muscles. Core on bosu and 2-legged weighted and single leg squats on the ball. Home; stretch and foam roll.... Now for the rest of Monday *sigh*

| | Early morning, I had to get up and out early to get a workout in - 'normal' work day at training from 9-5 put a damper on my normal plans :) 60 min on the TM: broken down to 8 min walking 10% grade @ 3.0 MPH, 2 min running @ 6.5 mph (9:13 mm). Repeated for a total of 12 min running 48 min walking. off to a busy day, but now I'm finally home and ready for a busy evening!

| | I was really tired and unmotivated today! Last night, sleeping and this morning were just ughh. Went to yoga, and after I was relaxed thinking about getting on the TM was hard. But knowing how close I am to getting back to consistent running pushed me over the edge. Laced up the shoes and hopped on. Only 40 min until daycare time was up, so I did what I could. I was only going to do 2 min intervals, because I've been scared to move up to 3 min - seems too hard, sometimes at 2 minutes I'm ready for a rest (sad, I know! I'm afraid I'll never run a 5K again!). 2- Two minute intervals running @ 9:13mm, 3- Three minute intervals @ 9:13 mm, and I pushed out an extra 13 seconds to make it a full even mile in 3 min intervals :) I felt better about 1/2 way through and was willing to push the first 3 min interval, and even decided to add an extra one on. Three minutes seems a lot easier than 2, simply because I get over the 'hump' of tiredness. Total 13+ min running @ 9:13 pace; 27 min walking 10% grade @ 3mph.

| | Tired of being a single parent this week...can't wait to go to the airport tonight and pick up my better half!! Oral presentation at school and kindergarten pick-up limited my gym time today, but I tried to make the most of it! 60 min total on the TM. Six - 3 min running intervals @ 9:13mm (every few I'd add on the extra 13 seconds to make a full mile). The rest of the time was walking 10% grade @ 3 mph. Total of 4.2 miles between walking and running. uggghhh, seriously I know I've been keeping up the cardio, but running is so different! I'm afraid I'm never going to run MILES at a time!! I am grateful that through the running I've had no pain in the hip or round ligament pain in the belly - small miracles. Can't wait to break up the monotony of the TM and get outside and run! It's too nice and I'm getting gym dread again.

| | My day/morning/workout got all messed up! After getting home groggily at 12:30AM after picking hubby up from the airport I set my alarm and went to bed -ooops! At 6:30 AM (after forcing myself back to sleep, because I needed all I could get and kept waking up) I cracked open the eyes and realized it was light. It's not light at 5:00!!! STINK! My alarm was set for PM. After contemplating bagging it all, I jumped out of bed hoping that it would be my lucky day and a spin bike would still be open 5-10 min after class started. Well, good things better - I got a bike and started class only about 7 minutes late! Did spin for the hour, then got talked into staying for the next class- muscle mix (cardio and weights/60 min), not too bad - worked the IT really well! Then, I was dreading heading off to the TM....dang thing! -and no Becca to entertain me :( Decided to hit the indoor track instead - 8 laps/mile so I walked 3 ran 4 until I had 2 running miles complete. Then out of curiosity and wonder I decided to try a full mile...all at once! I wanted to know about how fast my AP had been on the rest of the running, so I grabbed my phone (stop watch) and set off. It was hard at first to not try and race the clock, but I kept it nice and smooth (except weaving in and out of walkers and strollers) and finished in 9:17, which is about what I've been doing on the TM! I was SO surprised, it felt SO much better than the TM has ALL week. I guess maybe I can run again :) Total just shy of an hour on the track (3 mi run/2.25 walk), and a wonderful ending to a crazy morning! Oh, and this run made it official: I HATE THE TREADMILL!!
