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.

SO sore! Literally slept all day. Woke up a few times and felt like it was 3AM! Went back to sleep. Was able to wake up enough to think about eating around 5PM. Ready for bed again around 9PM and slept like a baby until 9AM! SO tired. At least my feet and legs aren't all swollen any more and the nausea is gone now (Tuesday)

60 minutes on the bike and the legs are almost feeling like they are just normal sore and not "I'm going to die" sore! The bike and a good stretch afterward helped a TON! Actually walked down the stairs at the rec center without holding onto the railings. That is my accomplishment of the day :)

Bike for 60 minutes and swim for 20. I never seem to get in the pool early enough to get a good full workout in!

Felt nearly ready to run, so I asked Kelli if she'd be at the rec center and she said she'd be there a little later. I figured I could run a mile or two and visit with her. Plans changed when she called and said it was cool enough to run outside. Okay...I'll give it a try! She wanted to do about 6, so she met me at my house and we did a 6 mile loop around here. I was CRAZY slow! But, I finished. My R quad is really bugging me, but it did loosen up after 3-4 miles. I think I'm going to have to baby this for a while.

Went home and did a few good hours of yard work including mowing the lawn...always good cross training!

I tried to get to the gym early enough to bike, run and swim, but since I invited Lauren to come swim with me and I had to throw baby in the daycare I had a time limit.

40 minutes on the bike, then I tried running. Leg was too painful to make it worth it, so I only did one mile. Then I went to the pool to join Lauren.

I did 25 minutes of good workout pulling and kicking. My leg always feels better after a good swim. It was fun to swim with Lauren :)

Took the kids to the splash park then did my bike fitting at Infinite. It was a good workout pedaling on the guru while they made 5 million adjustments. Sweaty beast mode :) Problem is that they can't fix my bike to me :( stink. It is too small. I've known that, but I hate having it put in writing. Someday I'll be able to afford a good bike...that fits.

Since I need to baby this leg thing (icing and rolling and stretching already) I couldn't decide what to do for my Saturday workout. It is also baby Fartlek's THIRD birthday! I can't believe how time has flown.

With everyone out doing Ragnar I remembered about the RunGR8 runs! Might as well go out for a nice little 7 mile jaunt. I rode my bike there to warm it up (and then still limped a little at the start) and then did the 7+ mile loop. The best part was that Leslie (Nancy's daughter from BBK's) was there. YAY! I had a friend and someone to chat with. It was great to catch up and just take it easy. The last couple miles the group leader started asking me about my mom and I kept up with her and I felt bad that I totally left Leslie behind! But, we caught up in the store at the end.

I then rode my bike home. It was almost a total of 2 hours of cardio for the day. Not too bad for a Saturday. The only problem was that with birthdays come lots of food! Too much junk. But I did get to see bye-wing! Finally in town again for the summer :)
