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.

Met Karolynn Kay at daybreak lake to have a nice morning run. She is a wonderful person and I'm glad I made the connection with her. I was late (surprised???) and so we did almost 5 together, so I went out to round out the miles, but just got enjoying the road and so I ran to the top of 10200S so that I could run back DOWN! It was nice and I finished with exactly 7 miles. I love it when things work out well.

Regular Tuesday 10. Met Chad, Danielle and Mike and we ran the loop together.  I did a pretty normal time for myself, as of late, at 1:23:23 8:15 AP. I'd like to get back to 1:20-1:21 on a regular basis. Slowly but surely, right??? 

It was great to have good company and we chatted pretty much the enitre way! I didn't get left behind :) I always had someone with me. That is just exactly what makes me happy!!

I went on a nice long bike ride with Kelli. It is nice to switch things up sometimes and with Spudman coming I need to get out on the bike more!! A nice 15MPH average pace and we weren't pushing, just a nice chatty ride. I loved it!!

The newtons all ditched me for Shaggy Mountain, so I loaded up the baby and met Kelli at 8:30 and did a stroller run. She was wonderfully patient with my slow pace pushing the stroller into the wind. At least Taylee is only 13 pounds and not Adam's 40!!

Loaded up the stroller again and met a good friend Christine Scott on the old Urban trail loop. We just went out and back on the canal road and I ended up with 2 flat tires half way through...so it wasn't easy for me, but she was wonderfully patient with me too! We had a great run and chat and I don't regret a second of it! Hopefully these 15 miles of pushing a stroller will help me tomorrow when I'm pushing Reese for 26.2 miles....

Rainy day pushing Reese. A wonderful opportunity and great time spent with Marci.

 

I wrote my report and it didn't get saved...I'm being lazy now.
