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 hit a nice little loop around Draper. I guess I was just feeling good, because my AP ended up at 7:58. I guess I shouldn't complain about that!
I did have a minor breakdown this weekend. Sunday was a bad day. Sat on the couch and ate myself sick. I never even went to bed. Just napped on the couch from 2-5 when I had to then wake up and get kids to piano at 5:30AM. Man alive, I hate depression. It grabs you and pulls you down into the dark abyss and it is SO hard to climb out. I never even changed my clothes...I was in my dress all day and night. Monday before my run Marci called and I talked to her for much too long and vented about a couple things and honestly, it made me feel a lot better. So between that and all the sugar I consumed, I guess I was just primed for a good run!

| | The first time in FOREVER I've run the loop under 1:25...I was 1:23:xx
Mandy dragged me on the uphill, and it was nice to work to keep up with her and not let her gap me. It was hard, but dang it, I did it!! It put all my uphill miles under 9mm. Then, I kind of got burnt out on the downhill and lagged behind, but I was still fast enough to finish with my 8:14AP. I truly haven't run that far, that fast in I don't know how long...
I then made it to lift class for arms, late, but I still got it all in. I'm just really unmotivated to go to the gym since Cyle left. It honestly kind of sucks now.

| | Shaggy Mountain. Another 1:11 loop, which is good an consistent for me lately. I wish I could hit those sub 1:10's on this route again, but meh...whatever. I'm slow now, slow and broken...
I then did half of boxing and legs class. I thought maybe I'd like Nikki's class, but the lack of technique and REAL boxing skills just annoys me. Legs class was good.
I finished the day by playing 2 hours of competitive volleyball. My pair of shoes ripped right across the top on a serve! It was hillarious attempting to tape it up so I could serve and still have traction. We did okay...better than last week, but not up to snuff for some of the ladies. I can't help it that I suck!

| | I did boxing class (ugh...new teacher) and it might as well have been an aerobics class. She didn't know jab, cross or proper foot work or anything. Yeah, it was a good workout, but if I want aerobics classes I'll go somewhere cheaper. I WANT BOXING! Sigh...
Then I did Peggy's arm class. Always a good workout. But, still not power lifting with Cyle.

| | We did Lisa's running bridal shower this morning! It was a ton of fun. We met at Ruth's diner at 6AM, ran for 2 hours and then had breakfast. They sat us outside so we could all sit together and we had heaters, but it was still just chilly cold when you're all wet from sweat. Aside from that, the company was fantastic and the occasion was spectacular! I can't wait for her wedding this next weekend.
