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: |

| | I was going to split my short 70 minutes between TM and bike (to read of course), but there was a friend next to me on the TM, and...well, she got me started! Too much to talk about after my son's Dr appt this morning. Before I knew it 6 miles had flown by all at 8:34 AP. But, she left at this point. So, 10ish min on the bike wouldn't have been worth it. I just went for one more mile! Progressive starting at 7:19mm and finishing at 5:56mm. Averaged out to be a 6:50 mile. Not too shabby, I'll take it. TT: 58:30 AP: 8:21 Then I grabbed Adam from daycare and the rest of the day is a blurr!!! But, I got it all done and even blogged the last 4 days! Whew.

| | Tuesday Ten with the Newtons - Chad and George. It felt good to finally be out on a regular run again with the group and not sore or with heavy legs. They aren't wonderful, but SO much better than they've been in a while. I could hardly keep my eyes open driving this morning. I'm a little tired and need a nap! 4 days of waking up early is starting to show. Had a great run and chat with the group, except that I've got a little PTSD from Mr Treglow and QP. So, I'm now the mother hen. "Watch for R turn car" "Left turn green" "Good to go" I might drive these guys crazy before I get over it! :) Being cautious isn't bad, but mother henning 2 grown men might be! AP: 8:24 splits: 8:41, 8:41, 8:27, 8:51, 8:54, 8:24, 7:54, 7:50, 8:20, 7:53. Nice little run for me! I've been wondering, ever since Lake Mtn, if my speed would come back. Well, it looks okay to me. AND the Maverik hill sure didn't seem as bad as it usually does! I wanted to go do bike/reading time at the gym today, but I'm up for volunteer time in the Kindergarten classroom. So, I'm now showered and changed and ready for the day! ....and a nap :)

| | Nice, easy little 6 miler on the TM, because I slept this morning! I had stuff to do so I couldn't stay any longer at the gym, but I'll be happy with my six. TT: 50:15 AP: 8:22 - 1-5@ 8:34, my cruise pace (1% incline as always), the last mile I started at 7:24 and went progressive to 6:58.

| | Nice little run on the Urban Trail Loop. As always, I went progressive until we hit the trail. Someday I'll overcome that! Either way, we had a great run! Kimberly, George and Chad and I all just hung out and had a great time. I really enjoy my morning runs, even if I'm tired all day. At the end Chad and I were together and we pushed pace to the 8 mile finish line. I did my best to keep up and seems like I was hitting low 6's. Okay, it was only for a tenth of a mile, but still felt good!
AP: 8:50 splits: 9:43, 9:21, 8:30 (not hard to do progressive when you start so slow!), 8:12, 8:51, 8:46, 8:57, 8:20 After getting kids off to school and then watching my neighbors kids for a bit I went to the gym for an hour of reading/me time on the bike. Other than Adam deciding he needed to scratch one of the teachers, the 60 min on the bike was GREAT! (I'm getting tired of that little turd's antics!)

| | Urban Trail Loop again, but with Jason and Kimberly...when the sun was up! The clouds were resting on the Eastern foothills and VB was just barely peeking out of the top of them! I almost ditched this run and did VB. Running through the clouds and then coming out just on top of them? Awesome! Wish I had that kind of flexibility :( Someday I'll have it and then want my kids back home. We did the loop, which is always a little bit more fun in the daylight and had a great time just chatting away the miles. Jason is still new to running, but we managed a 9:46 AP which for someone who has only run over 8 miles 3 times in his life isn't bad. Kimberly then took Jason to get some decent running shoes and clothes so he didn't have to wear cotton t-shirts, basketball shorts and a DI windbreaker to run in :) Tomorrow at 1PM I'm meeting a group of peeps at the Lehi JRP (1500N) if you're like me and can't do a morning run...or want to avoid the snow :)

Had a Christmas Breakfast I needed to help set up at 7AM...so no early running for me. I also then needed time for breakfast to settle before heading out. So, a few UT county guys decided we'd meet at Lehi JRP at 1PM to go AFTER the storm came and made all the morning runs miserable. HA! Trick was on us! The storm didn't start until noon, so at 1PM we were in the thick of it. Heading South wasn't too bad, but the strong North wind wasn't so wonderful. Still kept a good pace and just enjoyed the company. I was scared of the cold and overdressed, so I shed a layer at Willow Park! Picked it up on the way back. Blaine and Skip were good company and Skip hadn't run for a while, so a few times he took off to get a little faster pace in, but then would get distracted by a dog or something and wait for us. AP: 8:09 splits: 8:10, 7:52, 8:05, 8:04, 8:05, 8:07 (Skip the pacer...right on!), 8:28, 8:12, 8:11, 8:23, 8:11, 7:16 (last .25 mile that I was going to walk in, but the guys kept running, so I was guilted into running it.)
This whole day was so absolutely crazy! It is now 1AM and I have yet to go to bed...I'm going to be tired tomorrow, and my 3 hours at church? I'm already trying to figure out how I'm going to get everything done that I need to! blech. Busy weekends.
