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.

No 'miles' - hip flexor is acting up. But I did get to the gym and did step class and elliptical for 20 minutes. Then I got to come home a shovel an approach and drive away from our mailbox - the plow always throws ALL the snow from the street in front of our mailbox that we have to clear or drive clear across town to pick it up at the post office. So...weights got done today too! :)

Feeling tons better, and minus the hip flexor would be ready to run.

Hip flexor is still bad...limped through the first .25 mile to get to a normal gait. AP: 9:31 - started at 10mm then the last .5 mile ramped up a point or so every .1 on the TM mph until the last .1 was at an even 8mm. It was nice to get a run in and sweat a little! :) Did some good stretching and yoga type work in bodyflow afterward. Still can't bend over or put my head beneath my stomach, but I make it work!

I was just tired this morning. However, I got up and out and off to the gym! I did the bootcamp class and it kicked my trash. Hip flexor is marginally better (I can almost walk normal on it) and so I was ready to run, but when I was done with class every time I stood up I felt like I was going to fall over...so I opted for the recumbent bike instead. 4.5 miles at 3 resistance in 20 minutes. Running tomorrow!

as per requested - tissue count at the gym today: 5! Snot factory is still up and running :) You know that feeling just before you sneeze and your eyes water...I've had that feeling constantly for the last 15-16 hours!

Loving Christmas Miracles!! One of mine this year is zofran. What are yours?

Went to yoga, and felt good and ready to run afterward. Unfortunately the hip flexor wouldn't let me. I tried, but after .5 miles and having to keep hoping off and the pain getting worse and not better I bagged it and went to zumba instead. It was a good class, but some of it bothered my hip flexor so I still didn't get as good of a workout than I wanted. Tomorrow I'm going to hit the bike and do a HARD spin...I miss the sweet sweat! :)

18 miles on the bike in an hour with intervals on the resistance up to 7% (I'd go from 2:30mm to 4:40mm!). Hip flexor still wouldn't cooperate to run - my patience is running thin! However, I wanted and got a GREAT tough cardio workout with a good sweat today!
