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 think I'll try a few miles tomorrow, but my little aches haven't completely subsided so I don't want to push anything. Woke up to a full fledged snow storm this morning!! UGGHHH!! I now have to replant tomatoes for the 2nd time this spring - REALLY?!? What is the deal? I'm SO done with cold weather!! Not only was it snowing, but I totally forgot about my daughter's ortho apt and got all 3 kids and I up and out in 15 minutes to get here there! However, when I got there they said her apt was in 2 weeks...not this morning. Wow, I'm really loosing it! They said it wasn't a big deal and could get me in anyway, so she was late to school for the waiting, but we got it done. Because of the late apt I'd missed 1/2 of the step class so I re-vamped my workout plan for the morning . Besides, the step teacher had her baby Friday (like 2 weeks early - SO NOT FAIR!) and I'm sure it wouldn't have been as good as I would've liked. Elliptical 60 min @ L6 - 5 miles total and HR was up 150+ the whole time TM walking 10% grade @ 3mph for 30 min. Now I think I'm going to get started on the boys room...clean and paint. I've got to get some of this 'baby' stuff done, time is going WAY too fast!!

Last night after painting my back wasn't happy, then I started getting sciatic pains in my hips and shooting down my legs. Uggghhh, I wasn't happy. I guess that's what you get after painting the bottom 3 feet of a bedroom with 20 flippin' coats of paint! NEVER paint navy blue...it take SO many coats of paint to get a nice finish!! Needless to say I was in no mood to wake up early and run...the gym would be enough today. Elliptical 60 minutes @ L8 = 5 miles, kept HR steady around 155 Ran 1 mile = AP 9:05. Felt good to run, a warm up on the elliptical REALLY helped! Also knowing it was just one :) Had to run home and shower before doctors apt. Everyone tells me how small I look, but I never put much stock in it until today. Doc is concerned, because I'm measuring significantly smaller than I should be - a change from 2 weeks ago. She also commented on my weight, I made excuses about eating crappy all weekend. Oooops, she meant I hadn't gained ENOUGH. My blood pressure was also a bit higher than it has been. So, I'm getting sent off to an ultrasound this afternoon. Do you ever stop worrying? I thought I was beyond the 'worry' point... *Just got home and everything is perfect! Tech said everything looked right on track and he's measuring EXACTLY on date (yup...still a boy). Tech said I'm just tall and must be hiding it all (not a surprise to me!). So, all is good and baby is happy - it was fun to see a face and cute toes (WAY up in my ribs!) instead of the normal 'blob' you see at 20 weeks*

| | Okay...I'm just tired...plain 'ol tired! Cold and pregnancy is kicking my trash. I WANT to run, but go to do it and think it would be a lot easier to do something else. Went to boot camp/kickboxing this morning, but since Heidi had her baby the other teacher is just a bit different and doesn't push it quite as much :( Did 30 minutes of TM walking @10% grade on 3MPH while talking to Kelli (was going to run, but changed my mind). Had a good time reviewing the Biggest Loser finale! Kelli really is a rock-star, she does SO much and never whines about it and just gets it done (AND well!). 10 minutes left in daycare (thanks to my 5yr old forgetting his backpack I was late to class), so I did my .2 mile loop 5X out & back in the alley. Just a normal 'ol pokey pace. Okay...so here is my 'plea' I really WANT to do the State Capitol Half-Marathon on Memorial Day!! However, it is a moderately difficult course (hills and trails), so I don't think I will run it all, but I WANT to do it!! My desire to do this 'race' is SO overwhelming it's unreal! I'm putting this out there to see if there is anyone who would be willing to tag along with me. No racing - I may run the whole way, I may walk - I'll probably finish around 2:10+ depending on how I feel. I just want a friend to go with me *sniff, sniff* Yes...this is an outright beg to see if anyone would be willing to tag along with the fat, slow pregnant lady that may walk a bit. Any takers?

| | AM spin class in Lehi 3.1 around the track - no pace, just ran. Came home, hair cuts and clean up for all the boys 3.1 around the 'hood with Lauren on her bike - very enjoyable! No pace/Garmin, just ran. Off to yard work, garden, clean up and wedding in Ogden - phew! Busy day!! **as a side note, I don't have a slave driver for a husband, it's his b-day today and I didn't see fit to make him mow the lawn/edge/fertilize/weed pull on his birthday, so I decided to help out and let him play 'red-neck' with his friends and go shooting**
