umm I forgot to mention...

I ran the Haunted Half, I was a pacer. I love pacing however I have really only paced a few people in. Hopefully this next year I can pace more people in. It feels so rewarding to do that!! I got to about mile 4 and my knee started hurting (this was two weeks after STG). I ended up bailing on LV Ragnar-which was really hard.

Since then I have started running a little bit. I am finding the joy in it again. I am getting really excited for next year and my goals!

last thing I finally did it!!

I'm a Marathon Maniac! # 6194

Goal for the New Year

My decided goal in the summer was to get over the funk I have been in and go for it! I was planning on doing the Buffalo Run, a 50 miler across the beautiful Antelope Island. Where the buffalo, antelope and all the cute furry animals call home. After St George I decided there is no way I can do it. I just don't know if I could get back to it in time to train for 50 miles in March. I still dreamed deep down of doing it. It is now sold out. Perhaps I won't over do it and get in to run it in 2014.
As the Ogden Marathon lottery process started it was hard not to put in for it. But my bigger goal took hold of me and I was able to survive the whole thing. I have done Ogden for the past two years and really would love to do it again. I have decided 2013 is my Tri year. I am planning on doing the Woman of Steel Triathlon on the same day that they run Ogden. If it goes well and I am feeling ambitious I will then sign up for the Bear Lake Brawl (which is also a triathlon).
I had decided to not plan on a marathon this year but Salt Lake is taunting me. I am trying to win an entry but I think deep down I will end up just paying the big bucks for it. I really want to do it. I am also signed up for the Wicked Witch. the bike ride I relayed in a few months ago. so yes I need to make Charlotte Sometimes (my bike) my best friend this coming spring and summer.
Once the new year comes upon us I will step it up. I feel so much better when I am eating good and exercising. I am still active at the gym, but swimming has slacked. they added a full hour of spin and I sure enjoy it! They also added a Yoga class which is just marvelous!
Life may get in the way but my biggest goal for 2013 is the Triathlon. I am so scared and excited so I know it is the thing to do!
