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: |

| | My 2 nephews decided they wanted to try skiing today, so I got to be taxi service because I had a 3 year old tag-along and couldn't join in the skiing fun. Since they were only doing a half day it wasn't worth driving home across town just to go back and pick them up, so I figured I'd go to Cottonwood Heights rec center and put Adam in chuck a child and get a good 2 hour workout in.
I did 6 miles on the TM to start in 50 min, then did some on the track...17.5 laps/mile was a little tough to swallow, but the older couple walking (one with a walker) around the track were SO impressed with how fast I was running and that I'd done TWO miles SO quickly, it made me feel like an Olympian :)
Then I hit the weight room, but decided to do RAD's version of HIIT intervals. I did a weight routine arms/core and then did a 1/2 mile on the TM at 8.5mph (7:00 pace) - it wasn't as easy as it should've been! But, I was happy I'd actually done it. I repeated the set 3X then after the last 1/2 mile repeat I did a cool down 1/2 mile to round things out to 10 miles for the day.
Saw a couple of old co-workers at Cottonwood Heights, always good to see people you haven't seen in years. I then picked up the boys and after getting home and cleaned up went to my nephews graduation. It was another great day! But, 2 teenagers have worn me out. You think it's hard keeping up with little ones, teenagers have nothing on 3 year olds...at least 3 year olds take naps!

| | Oh my word. Sleeping off the fun weekend trying to be a teenager again. I had to get up at 3:45 to take both boys to the airport. QP and Bye-wing were missing their boys :)
I toyed with stopping at the Oval on the way home. Newtons had cancelled the run...the guys had work priorities. Work...HA! where IS your priority? :) But, I could barely stay awake. So, I just went home. I'd run during pre-school time. Nope. I seriously could NOT say awake for loving or money. Nothing. It was a good thing Adam felt like behaving and not destroying the house. I slept the whole stinkin' day away. Even after pre-school. I didn't really wake up until 7, but then I ate, put kids to bed and put myself to bed. I'm too old for this crap. I need sleep :P

| | 2 miles just to shake out the rust on the track. No Amy...she was sick.
4 miles on the TM...in 34 minutes.
Then another 2 miles on the track just to even a few things out. I wanted to finish with only using one punch (1 hour+ 15 minutes lee-way) for the nursery. I was happy to only use my one punch! Not talking to a bunch of people while working out seems to make it go faster :)

| | Running alone at the rec center with only my music to keep me company is getting old...so very old. Wanted company like NO other :/ Amy and Kelli need to get feeling better soon.
Kim and Scott were at the rec center though, so I did 2 warm-up on the track, then 3 on the TM with them while they finished up their speed Friday. I did one finishing mile on the track to get to my 6, then grabbed baby and headed home because I had about 5,000 things to do for my daughters 13th birthday today. When did I get old enough to have a teenager...I thought I was still 22!

| | Best Christmas Surprise! Becca came to visit! I found out just a day before and she said she would come with me to Rachelle's Christmas run in Provo with Kneaders afterward.
After a week of lonely running inside I was SO excited to run with Becca. We seirously just chatted the SLOW miles away and did 5 up to Bridal Veil Falls, took a picture and headed back. I need new shoes. Mine were slipping all around! I just don't want to use my new shoes in the snow :)
This run meant SO much to me!! The weather was purely delightful, softly falling snow, the best company and just a couple inches of soft stuff on the ground. This is a run I will cherish for ages. Reminds me of why I started running...for the relationships!
I love running, but I love running with friends more. My circle of amazing friends I've made running mean the world to me. I don't know how I would've gotten through all the crazy in my life without all of you. Then, everyone I meet just brings more joy and happiness in! I miss my blogging friends. Darn families taking over my time so I can't check up on all of you on here as much as I want to! I hope you're all doing well and enjoying the beautiful winter weather we've got :)
