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: |

| | Late night chatting with friends - so it was off to the TM for me :) 6.0 miles in 49:16; AP: 8:12. First 2.5 at 8:20, next 2.5 @ 8:13, final mile started at 7:47 at half down to 7:41 then progressive finish the last quarter. Felt good today and just had a great time today. I like nice, easy, fun run days like this morning! Masters swim class to follow. Good workout! Did a pyramid workout 25/50/75/100/75/50/25 and 6 sets of those each time focusing on something different. Speed, pulls, breathing, kicks etc. Since this was my first workout with my new fins I was excited :) Wow, they really worked my legs over good! Also, my last 25 on the breathing I did my 9 strokes/breath!! I did it! Do you know how hard it is to take NINE strokes before breathing? It took the whole rotation set to get it, but I did :)

| | Had to utilize my pre-school hours today for shopping, so I did what any good mother does - get up and run early in the snow. I was surprised it had snowed! I didn't think we were supposed to get a storm until Thursday. Welcome sight and it was beautiful to run in!! Lovin' some winter wonderland. I just ran and enjoyed it. New course that I thought would be 6, but ended up 7. Between the snow and long course and a late start I got home late, but thankfully hubby doesn't have a strict work time. AP: 8:58 Came home, kids off to school then I did the Shred L3, showered and got on my way to Target. Thankfully I can now say that besides a couple extended family gifts I am done. Stick a fork in me!!!

| | Since I weaseled out of speed work yesterday I decided to tackle my hills today. Hi-country route, colder than it has been in a while. AP: 8:48 splits: 9:39, 9:43, 9:53 8:09, 8:01, 7:45, 7:07 (last .5) Can you tell the uphill miles from the downhill? :) The 8:09 was 1/2 up and then flat, so that was a nice surprise, the 8:01 has the final 2 uphill pushes as well, so it's nice to see lower paces like that when it is a mixed bag and not all downhill. my 'work' got suspended from school, so I'm working today and tomorrow, so no gym time - day care doesn't take HS kids :) Yoga X at home, then errands with my cute date - 4 yr old Nathan, fun times!

| | Since my 'work' is suspended from school and I had to start this morning at 9 I had no option but to get up early if I wanted to get a workout in. I wanted to do a spin class, so I went at 5:30 and did the spin class. It was okay, not great, but okay. Went out to the TM and decided I deserved a fast downhill run. So, I started at -1% at 7:30 pace. Oh, how I love downhill!! SO effortless. Mile 2 @ -2%; 7:19 - mile 3@ -3%; 7:08 - mile 4@ -3%; 6:58 - mile 5@ -2%; 7:13 - mile 6@ -1%; 7:30, but progressive the last 1/2 with increasing pace every tenth to finish at 6:58. TT: 43:40 AP: 7:16 Walked a cool down 1/2 mile to finish out my time so I wouldn't conflict with shower schedules at home, but decided afterward I still felt good and fresh and shoul've just finished another mile or two. I could've done 2 more in the time and still felt okay. Crap, oh well. Now, off to a fun filled day of entertainment for a little stinker that is suspended from school - well, not too much entertainment, I'm supposed to be making her life miserable :)

| | What a wonderful morning! Again I had to work around Jr Jazz games, and who in the world thinks that making 2nd graders play at 8AM on a Saturday is a good thing?!? ugghh. So, that took me out of the running for all the group runs I'd gotten wind of and I was bummed. Thankfully, Becca is home!!! YAY! It's been quite some time since we've done a long run together and she was willing to risk a lecture to come out here and run with me. We went down to the lake, around and home. The run went by way too quickly. I needed another good 6 miles :) Time always flies catching up with friends on a good run. Weather was nice, the air was cruddy, but what could we do? A GREAT run, oh how I've missed them! Next week for Christmas Eve we have some plans in the works! A nice group run, sometime, somewhere. Lets just say stay tuned and save the date! AP: 8:41 splits: 8:46, 8:22, 8:30, 8:03, 8:17, 8:55, 8:47, 8:43, 8:49, 8:57, 8:38, 8:57, 9:04
