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.

30 minutes on the bike until my ITB was screaming at me and I could hardly pedal w/out screaming in pain. 9 miles w/topping out the resistance out at 4% and ending at 2.5% 

Then went to the body flow class... everything literally 'came out' during that class :( Final relaxation was nice though!

  Why oh why has my ITB decided to start screaming at me? I'm not running...haven't run in a week! It's been just over a month since my cortizone shot. My opposite hip flexor is keeping me from running and now my ITB is keeping me off the bike? Does my body really want me to get fat, fat, fat and lazy?!? I'm SO SO SO stinkin' sick of this!! Marion helped me tons with suggestions on the hip flexor yesterday (thanks a bunch!!) and finally convinced me to get into the PT. I don't know why I'm bothering sometimes, my whole body is just falling apart piece by piece by piece - why bother at this point??

What an amazing, wonderful, beautiful morning! With a promise of a walking buddy I showed up to BBK's. It was the best Christmas gift ever, I'm so so happy that I got to go hang out with some wonderful runners! I ended up walking the first .75-1.0 miles (fast) then decided to try a little slow running. It felt okay (tolerable) so I kept up with it and kept going, the hip flexor and eventually the ITB were screaming at me, but just like  crazy children's noise I tuned it out and finished up the 'run'. It was SO fun to get out into the cold, get moving and chat with some wonderful friends!! Great way for me to start the holiday (I may not be able to walk later tonight, but hey...I still got some miles in, right? :) )

AP - 11:18 (I told you it was slow!)

splits: 12:08, 11:00, 10:49, 11:04, 11:28, 11:00 (last .10)
