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.

Ahhhh....the stars finally aligned and I got to get out and MOVE! :)

Went for a walk with the kiddos - 2 older ones on bikes and the 2 younger ones in the jogging stroller. I was out for a total of an hour, and at noon it's pretty hot - but when the sun went behind a cloud it felt great. I jogged/shuffled a couple of downhill/flat portions, so I'm giving myself a 1/2 mile for the effort :)

Feels good to get out, and I've honestly been doubting my ability to run lately, but today renewed my confidence in myself! I just need a bit more recovery time before I start pushing myself AND I need my baby to find a sleep schedule. He sleeps well, but it's kind of all over the place so I never know if he's going to be 'up' or not in the morning (whether or not he'll behave/sleep if I leave him with dad). I guess I really can't complain for him only being 2 weeks old!

A sweet picture a day keeps the frowns away :)

So, this morning my usually happy baby was feeling like this:

So I loaded him up in the stroller and took a good hour walk with my sweet daughter and the dog as well. We all came home feeling much better! Especially baby Fartlek, he looked a tad bit happier...more like this:

Had a WONDERFUL morning with all of the RHPC's and living vicariously through their running. Everyone looked SO good and strong - honestly I was a little jealous I wasn't out running and chatting with them the whole time :( Adam was a good boy while we were there and Twinkies wife and I had a wonderful 'mom' chat while we waited for all the runners to come in. My original plan was to walk a good hour while I waited, but since I was the official 'finish line greeter' I didn't know how many people were doing the 5k/10k/13.1 so I simply stayed and just hung out. I love you guys!! It was awesome!

I was tired from getting up and going so early in the AM, so I came home snuggled with the baby and took a little nap. Woke up, and then got ready for my daughter's swim party she was hosting (nothing big...just friends and sprinklers and treats), but by 7 or so I was done sitting around the house! I took my sweet baby in the stroller and went on a walk - leaving dad home with all the others. I was out for over an hour and since I just had flip flops on (I was prepared for a meander NOT a walk) my feet hurt like crazy when I got home. However, it was SO worth it for my mental well being! Adam LOVES to be outside and moving in a stroller, I love that it helps me get out and move to keep him happy - then we all sleep better at the end of the day.
