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: |

36 mile bike ride that included Rose Canyon, up and over Camp Williams and MVC. Good ride and I felt strong on the hills! Could've been that no one was there to chase, but I still felt good! I could've ridden longer, but I had to get home to check on the little ones.
Got home and everyone was happy and I set them to their chores and reading and took Miss Lucy out for a little 5K run. My Garmin died on the ride, so I just did the stake 5K tried and true loop. No idea on time. Leg felt better, but still limping at the start. It did get feeling a little better by the end, but running is still a lot harder than it should be. The heat training at 11AM was a good push too.
I'm hoping that a couple more days of easy will take care of this crazy leg issue! I'm ready to run, but I have to listen to the body right now. |

Had a hard time wanting to do anything this morning, but through whining in text to Becca we motivated each other to get our butts moving. She ran, but since I wanted to baby my leg a bit longer I did something a little different. 60 minutes on the bike at a good sweaty pace Resistance workout: monster walk, weighted bridges, lunges, calf raises, elbows up, overhead presses, chest extensions and triceps (all arms on the bosu), back extensions run a lap and repeat 4X. I felt good and strong after that workout. Sometimes I miss resistance workouts. They always make me feel tough. Even though I have to workout next to the guys pulling 55lbs and I'm hanging out with my 8-10 pounders! Finished up enough laps to = 1.00 mile. Too much pain gosh darn it! Rolling and stretching finished out the day.

| | Summer time fun! Hike to the Y in provo with the kids. I thought I'd have to drag them up! But, they all beat me and had to wait for me. In all fairness I was hauling an extra 40ish lbs on my back in the form of baby Fartlek and water! Tough work, but felt good. Ate breakfast on the Y, then came down which was a little more sensitive on the leg, but nothing like running. Then we hit Seven Peaks just as they opened for pass of all passes holders. Stayed a few hours to play in the water and have fun, then went home. A full day before 1:00PM!

| | More summer fun! I was going to run, I was feeling a bit better and the group was meeting at my house, but when I got up to run my leg still wasn't really happy and after a little test I decided it would be better served resting than pushing it. So, I went back to bed. Feeling kind of lazy lately. Picked up Bye-wing and kids and met Sheri and kids at Brighton and we hiked to lake Mary, Martha and Catherine. What a beautiful hike! I again had the 40ish pounds on my back, but the kids were more distracted this time and it wasn't as steep, but 4 miles round trip rather than <2. I got some amazing pictures and had a good time with my kiddos. After the hike we went to a bike shop where I got a good idea about how wrong my bike was for me and how to get Lauren the bike she would need for her tri this fall. I get a new bike that fits and she gets my bike! SCORE! I go in for a fitting in a week and should be bringing home a new bike the next week. I'm excited!

Met some lovely folks in Logan area for a run since we were camping in Mantua. A wonderful surprise was seeing Melody up Blacksmith Fork Canyon! Crazy small world :) She ran a 1/2 mile with us on the uphill before we turned around and headed down. Probably her slowest pace in the last 6 months, but it was nice to visit! Ran with Pam all the way down the canyon and Adrian would come and go as well. It was a nice camping run and the first 'long' run back despite my leg issue. Still there, but SO much better. Back to the grind next week, no more lazy! AP: 8:49. Not too bad for a girl (Pam) that said her usual pace was a 9:30! She is going to do great in the Freedom run Thursday.
