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: |

| | Went to step class this morning...was up to late to think about a long run this morning! Step started a little late and ended a little early, so I hit the TM for a quick 7mm mile. Felt great to just run out one fast mile. Did my quad repair exercises then did the last 20 min of Ab's class. I'm ready for a new week, resolved to get back at it and get life in order and organized!!! Here we go, let's not waste another Monday!! | |

| | Sleep is a very important part of a training schedule, and I'm not getting it in! Drag, drag, drag...the theme of today's run. Every step felt hard and speed - well, there wasn't any in me today! 3 mile warm-up 9:20, 8:35, 8:56. Hit the track for speed work; however, I had told myself I needed to take it easy - the quad isn't feeling so nice! 800M push, 400M recovery - then hit the road for a 2 mile tempo, finally a 1 mile loop on the track pushing the last lap, one lap recovery. I didn't lap the miles and I don't even know where I really started/ended all of it so my splits are just miles today. AP: 8:30 splits 4-10: 8:12, 8:21, 8:15, 8:27, 8:00, 8:44, 8:10. Went home and crashed in bed, got woken up by a lovely 'drama' phone call from my husband - gave me the energy I needed to go to the gym and do the total body class. Afterward stretched and did quad repair stuff, it's a achin' now! I'll roll it and stretch it today; hopefully tomorrow will be a better day!

| | Did kickboxing this morning, I usually try an easy morning run; however, with the lack of sleep I've been going through I bagged it. During the circuit part of the class she had us do cardio sprints in the parking lot - 5/mile. So, that's how I got my mile :) Had to leave 5 min early to get home and ready to go to my shift at the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. It was a fun afternoon, I just wish I would've eaten first! Can't wait for Suncrest tomorrow - it will be an achievement!

| | So, a new adventure! The group met at the base of Suncrest, 2.5 miles of warm-up that was enough uphill right there! However, we grabbed the others at the church and set off on a hike. I was actually rather impressed with myself, slow and steady was the name of my game - I knew with my quad and everything else I didn't want any more damage, so I just kept plodding along. I only walked once for about 100 M and the rest of the way I ran. It was amazing to get to the top and feel GREAT! The downhill was fun as well, and I concentrated more on my form (leaning down, heels up) so that I wouldn't get that darn IT yelling at me, and I never felt it once! YEA! Finished up with about .7 cool-down around the church parking lot to get to an even 10. It was a great run, and honestly I think I'd do it again...crazy, but worth it! Came home ready to party for my 5 yr old's b-day and he's already made his dad mad enough to want to cancel his party....so, we'll see if we get to do anything today :( I guess I should just be glad I wasn't here to clean up the gallon+ of water that he decided to pour on the carpet for fun, then I'D be the one cancelling the party! AP: 9:44, splits: 10:12, 9:03, 10:15, 11:36, 12:55, 11:30, 7:51, 7:38, 7:30, 8:50 Garmin recorded 1233 ft of elevation gain up Suncrest and 1887 total for the run! YEE-HAW!

| | Had a doctor's appt for my little dude's 5th b-day this morning, so I got minimal time at the gym (I again wasn't waking up early!). Did the bike for 10 miles/40 minutes with intervals. Good workout, especially with feeling so sore from yesterday and looking forward to 14 tomorrow! |

Thank you Becca! I don't think I would've run at all today if it wasn't for you!!! My poor legs are just trashed from that Suncrest run and NO yoga! I need to stretch, roll, stretch and roll some more. Lead legs would be an understatement for this run, poor Becca had to go slow for me the whole run. Decent pace for how I was feeling though. It was a nice cool (but stinky) morning on the Lehi JRP, and getting a few minutes with Smooth was amazing as well! I'm glad we started early, but we'll see if my eyes can stay open till bedtime :) Definately need some new shoes (both pair over 400 miles now! and balls of my feet and ankles were sore at the end of the run), so I'm off to explore some options - I need a stability shoe, anyone have any good suggestions? I always go and get fitted for what the store thinks is good for me, haven't found one I'm in love with yet. Well, I always love new shoes and I've never had a BAD one, just not one I want to repeat buy...I guess I'm just exploring all my options before I settle down :)
AP: 8:52 splits: 9:10, 9:02, 8:51, 9:16, 9:24, 8:35, 8:39, 8:36, 8:36, 8:54, 8:50, 8:43, 8:58, 8:40
