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.

Rode the bike for an hour, easy: 3% resistance and 15 miles.

Walked 7% incline for 2 miles (15mm). I'm liking the speed walking, you really do have to concentrate on your turnover so it isn't painful. Best sweat I've had in a while :)

Dr's appt is tomorrow....looking forward to a 'release' to be able to run a little bit!

YEA! I got the go ahead to run. Doc said that it was just a very small amount of implantation bleeding behind the placenta and that since there have been no further problems in 2 weeks that it would be in the best interest of me and the baby to run. Almost did a happy dance right there!! Now to find the energy to get up early and run....

Miles, miles...I love miles! Finally able to post some!!

Went to boot camp this morning for resistance and she had us run a bit to warm-up, so I got my .2 done early.

Hit the TM with Kelli and made her run a little farther to stay with me while I plodded along at my 10mm pace for the three miles :)

got to 'sprint' my last .1 at 8mm - wow things are different now. The energy is just gone, gone gone - but I am SO happy I just got to run!!

Thanks to Kelli for getting me up this morning and out the door. It was SO cold! Did just a nice easy 5K on the stake route. Got home and grabbed Lucy took her on an easy one mile walk cool-down. 

Finished off at the gym with yoga. Man! I've missed that class. Still can't put my head below my stomach w/out wanting to throw up, which causes issues in some poses, but I just modify what I can.

Feel like death warmed over today...on top of the usual lack of energy and nausea, my head is going to explode, my voice is gone and I want to crawl back in bed but have 2 million things to do (or pick up/clean in the house!) before the sitter comes tonight. Special occasion to celebrate tonight for my cousin (grew up more like a brother), so it must get done. Maybe I'll just hire someone....
