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: |

1 hr step class, then 4 on the TM at 3% decline at 7:40 AP, but dropped to 6:58 pace for the last 1/2 mile.
Any suggestions for tapering? I'm thinking 4 on M,W,F and 10 Tu, Th, Sa - then bumping down more next week.... | |

Met BBK's for workout this morning - hills at the Palisades; AP 8:36 - 9:19, 8:57, 8:47, 8:39, 8:09, 7:45, 8:24, 8:28, 9:11, 8:17 - 3.5 mile warm-up, .5 mile up/down hills, 2 mile tempo loop with hills, hill sprints, last 1.5 tempo for .8 or so then cooldown.
Hit the gym for resistance - upper body/Abs and some side to side legs. Rode the recumbant bike for 10 miles.
Oh, it was nice enough to ride the bike to and from the gym as well - Nathan (2) and I really like to leave the car at home :)
Thanks to everyone on the tapering advice - its so hard to judge, I think the best thing to do is listen to my body. Get enough in to keep cardio up, but not enough to ever get 'tired legs'. I'm putting together a mix of my 'normal' schedule and tapering advice...I'll post it soon for review! | |

| | Kick-boxing - GREAT x-training this morning! Then 4 on the TM on downhill at 8 mm, but the last mile was 7mm or less. Felt Great, feeling really good about Ogden - I just need to solidify my goals.... | |

Met BBK's for a good run this morning...legs felt a little tired, so I didn't want to push it, just took it nice and easy! AP 8:55 - 9:31, 8:49, 8:33, 8:05, 9:09, 9:19, 9:21, 8:42, 8:35, 9:11.
Took Nathan on the bike to the gym, got the last 1/2 of Yoga, went on a nice 1 hour ride with my neighbor then came home. Wonderful day and beautiful weather...tomorrow, I think I'll just take 'er easy :)
Okay, so my final and decided plan with Ogden is: I've got the BQ out of my system...I'll be okay if I don't get it (thanks Kelli!!). I'm going to start at 8:45 - 8:50 for the first 3-4 miles then take it down to 8:20 and just see how long I can stay there. After mile 13, no more pace timing...I'll just run it how I feel it, with keeping in mind how many miles I have left :)
So my tiered goals are: Run the whole way-satisfied; Under 4 hours - happy; BQ - ecstatic.
There we go, I think that sounds good for me and my brain...It can finally be quiet now :) | |

| | Okay, nobody fall over, but I'm not doing anything today :) It's my baby's 2nd birthday and I'm spending the day with the family! I feel like I need a day off anyway...sometimes its good to get a break, right? |

A PERFECT RUN!! Met Smooth, Lowell and Annette for a run along the Porter Rockwell Trail. Beautiful morning, although a little chilly until you warmed up, GREAT company and a relaxing run!! I got home and was on cloud nine, if next week feels this good I'll run 20 marathons :) Okay, I'm sure doing the 12 plus two more over again wouldn't have left me so chipper, but I felt like a million bucks at the end of the run! Lowell's stories were so fun to listen to that I'd probably completely forget about running in a marathon. Lots of good inspiring advice as well - it may take me a couple years to really do it all, but still good :)
AP for the run was 8:56. All splits were around 9, except after mile 10 Lowell had us walk for a minute then challened one fast mile then a cool-down mile. I was feeling so good I took advantage of it 7:13 was that split, then the last one was the next fastest at 8:30. Great run and I'm feeling good about Ogden. As an all call - I'm looking for a ride up possibly Saturday AM if anyone would be willing. My husband is meeting me at the finish so I'll have a ride home...I just don't think I'll be in good condition to drive over an hour after I finish :) | |
