Setting forth my goals for 2013:
100 mile mtn bike race
50 mile trail run
Signed up and stoked for the Squamish 50, Squamish50.com if anyone wants to do an ultra! Spots went incredibly fast on the first signup. They ended up opening the spots for the 50k so more people could sign up for the 50 miler.
What are you goals for 2013?

Moab trail marathon in October. Realistically, the trail half marathon.
Average of 12,000 vertical feet per day for each day I ski at the resorts.
Much more regularity with road and mountain biking
Stay healthy!

2013 will be the year of the invert!
Today I ran a 14 mile version of the slickrock trail. Hadn't run since thanksgiving, and felt it!
Also, yesterday I did a big workout in the canyonlands invert boulders. Routes, shuffles sit-ups etc. I think I'm feeling that as well. Though I did get called an old man yesterday. Okay off to the rec center weights, swimming, shower!

My new endocrinologist took me off levothyroxine altogther (my thyroid has come back to life?).
I'm feeling more like I used to. We scratched out a 1/2 marathon (actually 13.6) the other day (my first in a while, Michele's first ever).
Will I become the second ever 70-year old to do a sub-three hour marathon? I'm not counting on it, but 2013 is gonna surpass 2012 4sure.
EDIT:
12/27/12
11:00AM - 10K
4:30PM - 10K
Until endocrinological homeostasis is attained breaking it up may be the way to go.

Cool thread. Motivating.
15 mile run today in the Auburn State Recreation Area. 7 miles on wednesday. 12 last monday...
Training for long runs, and just starting to get the mileage back up after blowing out an ankle (sprain). Weathers perfect in the Canyons! A bunch of ultras scheduled through the end of June (WSER). Hoping for Waldo in Oregon in the fall.
Keep on keepin on...

I did not blister anything, but have a plantar wart that hurts alot. T3 thyrotoxicosis and associated effects are a much bigger concern to me.
Been keeping up on my invert's with weight vest though.
Photos to follow?

Atcha, Forgetting if Western States has a qualifying time then a lottery or just a qualifying time. In any case, congrats if you make it in.

Did a killer six mile trailrun Friday in new five bilalias or whatever they are called and if been doing fifty pull-ups, & invert sit-ups with a 20lb weight best since just before Christmas.
But today when it never got above 12° here in the desert all I managed was a six mile stroll..
So I tallied out the results of last year. it's going to take a while to figure out other categories. But I have numbers for overall miles and total pull-ups
1704.4 miles
7522 total pull-ups
-in 2012
So I guess I'm shooting for something in the range of 2000 miles and ten thousand pull-ups in '13.....
Though climbing will come first and dictate some of that.
