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.

I did my regular morning boxing class, but Lena had Cyle substitue. Holy crap. Don't tell that guy to do HIIT training...he never gives you a break! It was a good class and my butt hurts like crazy from the squats/lunges.

Kelli was there and had run down so I ran with her back to her house, grabbed a drink and then headed back to my car. I liked the downhill with the wind at my back a lot more than uphill and into the wind TO her house :) It was much nicer than running circles at the gym or the TM!

Trying to be kind to my shins....

Oh I was tired today. I had plans for 2 boxing classes and 10+ miles...but I slept instead :) Craig is out of town so I didn't have a reason to get out of bed for 6AM class and couldn't run down there, because I don't have time to run home and still get kids up and off to school on time. So, since my shins are still aching I decided I needed a break...ha! I'm so good at rationalizing. 

I did get to Cyle's class at 9:15 and was sweating buckets all over the floor and I worked with him on the pads it was flying all over. Made me laugh. 

Then I hit the gym for 6 miles, but because I was late getting there and then had to take a couple phone calls I could only get in five before I had to leave to go pick up Adam from pre-school.

I went and said hello to the RunAways up at Yellowfork. I love chatting with them afterward. I wish I could run with them, but I don't like running solo and they don't finish fast enough for me to get Adam on time so I'm kind of forced to do something different unless someone a little faster comes and is willing to pull ahead of the group with me.

My stinkin' calf/shin has been rather miserable Tuesday PM so I decided the best thing to do would be to take the day off running. I did my boxing class and that was it. Still a good workout and my leg started feeling better, but....

Another day of no running. I iced and rolled and stretched yesterday and things are a little better, but I'm still a little leary of running on it quite yet. Better to take days off early in the game, right?

Boxing class with Cyle...which is always killer and then 30 minutes on the rowing machine and 10 minutes of walking 3mph+ on a 15% grade incline.
