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 ventured outside today. Oh man it was cold! But, I had to get up early, wanted 10 and was sick of the gym!! Thankfully Chad was willing to drag along with me. A slow run, but cold sucks the energy right out of me! 1:27 run time...I think. Again, watch only lasted 45ish minutes.

More TM/track. I chase Amy...she can get there about 20-30 minutes before me, so I always have to catch up to her. I can't, but I just keep running :)

Went ice skating on Shaggy mountian today. Oh my word I have NO traction on my shoes. Running uphill on the snow covered streets is horrid! I just slip on the push from the back. But, I finished. Slowly, but surely.

Short 6 on the TM/track with Amy. Around an 8:40ish pace. My legs are tired from going to airborne with the kids last night! Jumping is hard :)

Amy met at my house early and we ran to Dave's to do Shaggy Mountain with 2 extended loops. But, Amy and I needed to be done earlier so we did the last couple miles from my house to Dave's first. Kris met Dave, Chad, Amy and me at Dave's home and so Amy Kris and I stuck together and let the speedies take off. I was a bit chilly and snowy, but nothing horrible. Winter running is never as bad as I anticiapte it! On the way up the canyon the 3 slowies decided to not take the extended loop and let the speedies do the extra 2, primarily becuase I didn't want to slog through the unbroken snow. I'm a pansie. We got to the meeting point a little early, but just did a little back and forth on the route as we waited. But, since I had to get back for our ward Christmas breakfast we had to cut the second extended loop off too :/ oh well. I'll have to do it again sometime.

Got back home in just enough time to wake up the family and get their teeth brushed and off to breakfast at the church. My 2 nephews are visiting and so we planned a full day of fun afterward. Sledding (which was CRAZY fun! But, man I'm old) then home to clean up and off to laser tag then to stuff our faces full of popcorn at Frozen. A great Saturday if I do say so myself!!
