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: |

| | I need new shoes, but I'm too cheap to go buy/get some. I need a new style that will have better cushioning for a 'heavier' runner (since I'm running for 2 now :) ) Did a shorter workout at the gym today, playing volleyball tonight and I need some fuel left in the tank. 60 min on the TM 5 min on 5 min off. Walking was at 6% grade at 3.7 mph and running was at a 9:05mm pace. Felt good, and went quickly because I had Kelli to talk to! Oh how I miss my long Saturday runs with running friends! I can't wait to get back at it!

| | Nothing. When my alarm went off early (I had training/work all day) I was actually sleeping well and didn't want to get up. Unfortunately, I shouldn't have made and eaten cookie dough while watching Biggest Loser :) -That show always makes me want to eat junk! |

Working off cookie dough sitting on my thighs today :) Boot camp - HARD workout/weights! I think I'll be sore tomorrow. Had us run a .2 outside for a cardio burst, felt good to be on the 'road'! Hit the TM - 35 min total: walk 5 min, run 1 mile @ 9:05mm, walk 3 min, run 1 mile @ 9:05mm, walk 3 min, run .55 @ 9:05, cool down. Twice I got to run a full mile! Short break between, but I'm loving getting in a full mile and feeling like I have more to give! I would've done 3 full, but had to get home to babysit. ***such a beautiful day, took the kids to daybreak lake in the evening and walked & pushed stroller while 2 older kiddos rode bikes. GREAT 1 hour walk. Only bad decision was wearing flip flops for the first time this season. Sore feet!***

| | Not sleeping well - dreaming crazy - not feeling well....not a great day. Yoga, ahhh! However, I think I spent too much time upside down. Left feeling YUCKY and haven't shaken the feeling since. I was going to run 2-3, but had to dial it back due to how I was feeling. TM 25 min: walking 6% grade @ 3mph then 5 min running at 10mm pace. Walk some more, run one more 5 min. Done.

Still not sleeping well, but feeling better today. Full body sculpting class this morning. Oh my...I think she killed my legs!! 35 min on the TM: 5 min walking 6% grade for .25 miles, then ran 1.25 miles (yes I can put the "s" on the end!!) @ 9:05mm; walk again on grade for .25, then ran 1.25 miles @ 9:05mm, final cool down walk for .20 until I stopped sweating profusely :)
Felt good on the running. I WILL get new shoes today!! (and a belly band, occasionally I get a little achy on the round ligaments. I want to stop it before it get debilitating!)

| | sleep, schmeep....sleep is over rated, who needs it? I was scared of the cold. I was going to run a 5K on the road here at home before spin, but chickened out. I also didn't want to change into 'gym' clothes after sweating in 'warm' clothes...pathetic excuses, but that's what you get while lying in bed at 4:45 after 5 hours of sleep. So, I slept a little extra and did miles (YAY) at the gym. 2 miles on the indoor track - no idea on the pace, but it was a negative split going by the ladies that passed me the first mile, then I caught and overtook the second mile. Spin class; 60 min - dang this was hard today! Seemed like we never got to rest! 3.1 (5K) with Becca on the indoor track. It was fun to have that third mile be my 'mystery' mile :) it's been a LONG time since I've run 'mystery' miles! Again no idea on pace...started slow, my legs were dead from body sculpting yesterday and spin class, but I think it was probably around a 9:10-9:20 AP. Furthest continuous run to date - YAY! Thanks for being so patient with your slow, prego running friend Bec!
drive home and all the while consider doing 2 more with some neighbors at home. They run about a 13mm pace, so I knew it would be slow. Finally friends, downhill, the road, good weather, and a little sun convinced me! PLUS - I finally got to use my garmin again for the first time since Christmas Eve! 2 miles on the road - 1st downhill, but with the ladies (so it was nice and slow) 2nd flat/up to home. Had to pick up the pace a bit...I needed to be home by 10 and they had left late. First mile was 10:37, then the second was 9:08. Felt good to get out today - hip feels fine, ITB feels fine and with new shoes and an amazing belly band (which really just squishes all my fat up out the top and makes me look horribly FAT!) I feel GREAT! Easing back into running has actually been a good thing, and taking breaks between sets seems to be doing my body well. I'm getting more and more confident about running the SLC 1/2 in about a month.
