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: |

| | Cold and snowy and tired, so to the TM I went. Since Adam's behavior hasn't been stellar lately I can/should only leave him for an hour in the day care. So, it was a short and sweet morning. 1 mile warm-up on the track. 3.5 on the TM (29:30 AP: 8:25), 1 on the track with Wendy to break up the TM run (she was doing 10!), then finished up the last 1.5 on the TM in 12:15 AP: 8:10 - progressive. Grabbed Adam and did some stretching afterward. Now to see what else I can get done in this tornado of a life!!! I feel SO busy lately. No time to breathe.

I wimped out on the 10 mile Newton loop and met Becca (since she got in town yesterday) at the gym. Kelli was there with Scott, I thought for sure she'd be at home in bed, because my sleep in days are precious!
We started on the track and Kelli joined us for some laps as well waiting for Scott to finish up his workout. 2 miles on the track, no idea on pace.
3 miles on the TM - 25:30 AP: 8:30
2 miles on the track - not timed.
3 miles on the TM - 24:40 AP: 8:13
What a wonderful morning workout chatting along! The only way to survive the TM!!! I'm SO excited to have Becca back for the month :) | |

| | Shoot. I didn't post this all day, because I thought I could get to the gym and throw down another 4 for good measure to do 12 on 12/12/12....nope. Hubby still isn't home from work, so I'll just have to make up for it tomorrow. 4 miles on the track with Becca while we waited for 2 treadmills together to open up. If I had to guess I'd say we were at an 8:30ish pace once we got into a rhythm. Kim was letting us know the first few warm-up laps were much too slow! :) Finally jumped on the TM to finish up and just plodded along at 8:27 until the last mile then went progressive. TT: 33:00 AP: 8:15 Then while Becca did stretching I did my PT weights: Monster walk, lunges, big/little toe calf raises and weighted one-leg bridges. It is SO nice to have Becca at the gym AND Adam had a good day in day-care. Can't beat a morning like that.

| | I was going to meet up with the Newtons in the morning for the Urban Trail Loop, but last night I was feeling SO crappy! I've got a head cold, but I couldn't stop coughing and had a headache. Not bad enough to not run, but bad enough that with the gym as an alternative, I needed sleep! So, I bailed like a good pansy runner. Becca again met me, but due to my mom dropping off Christmas gifts I was a little late and she'd already done 3 miles. Stink. We did 2 on the track, 3 on the TM (TT: 24:50 AP: 8:17) then one more on the track. I still had 2 to go when Becca had to take off, but Kelli was out of spin and was willing to trudge through the last 2 with me on the track. It is always nice having company...and being warm in the winter. I'm just getting tired of the track and TM. Too bad I'm too much of a pansy to get up and go outside! Another good day for Adam in the Nursery and the ladies were all very complimentary. I don't know how much longer this can last...

| | Running in a Winter Wonderland! The first snow globe run of the season is done...I didn't die. I whined a lot, but didn't die. The pace sure felt faster than a 9:14 that is for sure. The snow really works over your feet. Ran the new Murdock canal trail with Becca in Lehi, not a shabby trail! Can't wait until Smooth can join us! | |
