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: |

Taking a phrase from Carolyn: Easy eight this morning. Regular rounds around the hood. Got to say hello to Kelli this morning as she sped by! AP:9:01 splits: 9:25, 8:27, 8:26, 8:59, 9:27, 9:30, 9:01, 8:52 mile 1 is 150 ft ascent, 2 and 3 are that down, 4 is flat, 5 and 6 are 150 ft gain, then 7 and 8 are 'easy' declines of net 80 each. Funny, but my paces totally show the elevation!
Back is feeling TONS better after having a weekend of rest. Only problem is my ITB kicked me hard this morning at 6.5 - NOT fun. I really just don't like that stinkin' thing!!! off to the dentist and then volleyball tonight - YEA!!!

Thought I was getting into a nice easy workout with the BBK's - they are supposed to be tapering! We did 3 one mile repeats, at marathon pace. I was at the back and thought I was just taking it easy, but I sure felt like lead legs. It was hard to keep up with the back group this morning, I figured it was just from running yesterday. It's been a while since I did running workouts 2 days in a row. Then we did 2 400M sprints on the track. I was excited that for the first one I could keep up with tapering Peggy (until the last 50M anyway), the second I was only 5-10 seconds behind. Then I finished up my last .75 alone, just to round things out to five miles. ITB started yelling about mile 3 -UUGGGHHH! I am so stinkin' sick of that stupid thing!!!! Got in the car to come home and looked at my AP, 9:10- wow, I really did have lead legs - no, wait...that says 8:10! HOLY COW no wonder I was tired, I was bookin' it. Then I looked at my splits: 8:50, 7:53, 7:55, 7:29 (.25 on the track FAST), 8:34 (one .25 fast, rest SLOW). Okay, so now I don't feel so bad about feeling tired, I was above Marathon pace for those mile splits. I don't know what the 400M splits were, but the first one was around 1:35 I think, so the second would be 1:45 or so, again I think. Now I'm off to the gym for my personal training butt kicking, then I'm going to do some uphill walking (like 20-30% incline). I'll probably ride my bike to and from the gym as well, enjoying the last day of warmth for another 8 months :( *rode my bike to the gym, full body workout, and walked 1200 vertical feet in 30 minutes (1.5 miles). Total bike mileage was 4.5*

| | No running...didn't want to mess up the wonders the massage did last night :) Plus, I'm trying to give those ITB's a rest. Doc says not to run at all...I'm only 1/2 listening! Did yoga and 45 minutes of personal training beat down then 5 quick miles in 15 minutes on the bike to do a little cardio. Working today, so I get to hang at the children's museum, then tomorrow the zoo, then Monday I'm thinking maybe Thanksgiving point. We'll have to see how motivation and money are doing then!

Trying to take it easy on the ITB's - 22 miles in one hour on the upright bike at a 3 resistance. 5K afterward on the Treadmill at 8:20 pace for the first two, then I increased the speed incrementally until I hit a 6mm for the last .10 - I was feeling so good that after I hit the 5K in 25 minutes, I went stayed at the 6mm for another 60 seconds...finishing at 3.25 miles. Run felt good and no ITB pain or even inklings of pain. GOOD LUCK TO ALL YOU SGM RUNNERS!!! I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO READING ALL THE GREAT REPORTS OF PR'S - GO FRB RUNNERS!!!!

| | Lessons learned today: 1- don't eat a big meal (with dessert) at 11:00 at night when you have a long early run 2- 3.5 hours of sleep is not enough when you have a long early run SLOW early miles with Shelly, but I am SO SO SO glad that she was willing to run with me; otherwise, I probably would've slept and been lazy and never gotten out to run. I had a fun "I'm 16 again" night last night with friends at a birthday dance, then went out to eat afterward. Because of this my performance wasn't quite up to snuff today - and it was hard, but NO ITB pain. I had heartburn, nasty (still full) tummy, lead legs, and wanted to stop and throw up more than once! Lessons learned, that's about all I can say...
AP: 9:17 splits: 9:17, 9:35, 9:27, 9:32, 9:12, 9:27, 9:04, 8:55, 9:08, 9:15 Poor Shelly had to put up with this slowness this morning...sorry Shelly. I also stopped just after 4 (turn around) and stretched the ITB - this may have helped push off soreness and pain. Hopefully I can find time for a nap today....
