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: |

| | Step class....very difficult - legs couldn't move that fast :) -however, by the end I was actually jumping and doing the 'power up' steps..took all my energy, but I did it!
5 miles on the bike to 'spin out' the soreness stretching - quads and calves are VERY sore! Stairs are my nemesis...we'll see how volleyball goes tonight!

BBK day...thank goodness they are all tapering for SGM!! Easy miles, skipped the track workout (last one) and left with the dissenters again (there were MORE this time!) for some road miles. Felt really good to get the legs moving again. Oh, first day for running tights and long sleeves, I'm glad I had them - it was COLD :(
AP: 9:07 splits: 9:38, 8:53, 9:18, 8:49, 9:09, 8:52 CRAZY morning with the kids. Hubby took the car seat...realized this at 'time to go' time. UGGHHH! Bundle everyone up for a bike ride to school then to the gym, of course we're now running late. Neighbor girl forgets her back pack...home and back to school again, then off the bike to run it into the school before all the doors are locked and I have to go to the front. How do you tri people do it? It's hard to run on 'bike' legs, especially after pushing hard! Finally on my way to the gym with baby on the back of the bike, as usual. Got to the gym late, so I was quite a bit behind the group for weights. I don't think I got the whole workout in - blame hubby! However, I wasn't too upset :) Total of 35 min instead of 45, so I did my ITB/hip exercises for another 10 minutes. Then since I had to ride the bike home (uphill) I didn't want to do bike, so I took on the stairmaster. VERY low setting, but it was interesting, different for sure -finished 30 minutes, like 60 floors or something. Rode the bike home and now off to kindergarten pick-up, on the bike. Total bike = 5 miles (as long as I don't need to go anywhere else today!)

| | No running today except a couple out and backs during kick-boxing. It was a good circuit today in kick-boxing, not so much cardio (still sweating a lot!) Then I did the bike for 30 minutes (7 miles) with varying resistance.

| | Another taper day with BBK's (I'm on a 'reverse taper' :) ) 2 three mile loops. AP - 9:11 splits: 9:33, 9:12, 8:16, 9:47, 9:34, 8:44 The 8:16 didn't feel that fast, but was downhill. The 8:44 was flat and felt REALLY comfortable. Then hit the gym for yoga...my lower back on either side of the spine is KILLING me!! Running doesn't aggravate it, but doesn't help either. Walking, sitting, standing - all not fun. Yoga really helped release the back a TON, felt actually okay to do a short easy workout with the trainer. 35 minutes with the trainer - seemed way too easy today, I don't think his heart was really there today and I don't think I'll be sore, but I'm NOT complaining!! Considering a nice massage tonight or tomorrow...maybe even Saturday, depending when I can get in. This back pain needs to go away ASAP!! Any good tips?
