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.

Seven mile run along the Porter Rockwell trail. Dropped Adam off at school then went for a little run. It was nice to get out and just run. It was an 8:38 AP, so it wasn't horribly slow, but meh...still nothing like I used to run. Especially the way I felt!

Char spent the night and I was up a lot later than I wanted to be, but I also had to do legs day on Monday night so that  I wouldn't have to miss legs on Tuesday, because Sophia is going through the temple this morning :) 

Anyway, QP and I started out early and Mandy started slow with us and Melanie tried, but I made her run with the fast boys :) They didn't catch us until the top of the run on Emmeline. It was nice. Then the group did the same thing as last week and would run ahead and then wait. Then leave us after a tenth of a mile. I didn't mind so much today, because I had my sister with me to run. It was nice to finally have someone to chat with and run with the whole time. I wish QP lived close enough to run with me more often.

No gym afterward. I came home got kids off to school and then went to the temple with Sophia which was an incredible experience within itself. We also were able to witness the proxy sealing of my mom's parents! Just one of the most incredible days I've had in a long time.

I had good intentions multiple times today to get a run in...well, it never happened. Sigh...I guess I'm super motivated.

Another Shaggy Mountain run. I didn't start early, but Dave ran a bit with me. Poor guy! Anyway, the run went fairly well until I finally started getting a good stride in on the run at the Mario Kart strip and then the stupid dog behind the electric fence ran out and nipped at my leg. Yup. I got bit. again. It wasn't bad at all! But I felt his teeth on my leg and he ripped the skin enough that it was sensitive to the touch and lotion. Sigh. Seriously. Bite, ankle, bite...Yeah, I am an old and broken woman. The universe hates me. Oh! Add to the top that I woke up without a voice. Yup. Some stupid cold/congestion has burned my throat and I can't talk. bite, ankle, sick and bite...I'm telling you. I'm SO done!!!

I'm leaving tonight for Sophia's wedding in DC. I won't get a minute to run, but being with my family and being there for the wedding was the most fantastic weekend ever!
