My first entry to the blog!  If all goes well, I plan on running the Ogden Marathon in May.

 

Today was 10 degrees with a cold north wind (wind chill - 3 degrees).  Ran the Idaho Falls greenbelt to Pancheri bridge.  Total time: 49:30

Another chilly day!  26 degrees with a stiff breeze.  The recent skiff of granular snow has made the traction better, but it is still pretty sketchy to run on.  My time today was 39:00.  Hopefully we can get a few warmer days to clear the path.

Running was good today.  Temperature was 26 with no wind.  It has not snowed for the last 2 days and there are a few hopeful  patches of asphalt peeking up through the snowpacked green (white)belt path.  Total time = 50 minutes.  Since slow and fast miles are not much different for me - I only seem to have one speed - I will differentiate at 7.5 minute miles.  I tried to pick it up a little when traction was available and did well for short spurts.  Hopefully we will get sunshine and many miles later in the week!

Treadmill day. Grrr.  The forecast claimed it would be blowing 35 MPH+  with snow, so I did not bring any outside gear.  As I should have expected, it was a nice sunny day.   Ran 4.5 in the morning at 7.5 pace and 3.1 at noon at an average 6:50 pace.

Ran on Treadmill in morning for 4.2 miles.  Time 30:00.  Slipped and slid around greenbelt for 4.8 at noon.  Very slick path today and light snow falling.  Where is that sun?   Temp is 12 F  with no wind..  Time  36:30.

Hit the treadmill in the morning.  7:30 pace.  This pace is getting somewhat painless on the treadmill, but it still seems tough outside.  Try for 10 outside tomorrow.

Took a nice slow run down Sunnyside road.  Started at the intersection of Ammon/Sunnyside and struggled with traffic and snow until Hitt road (plow your sidewalks Ammon!).  After Hitt road, the city of Idaho Falls does a fine job of clearing the path.  Ran the path all the way to Professional drive (near Yellowstone hwy), made a half mile loop around the Corporate Express warehouse and back.  The run was comfortable and felt that I could go further.  The next long run will have to be a faster pace.  Temp = 17,  no wind and a new skiff of snow on the path.  Still looking for the sun!

Treadmill day.  Outside looked nice, but was around 0 with a breeze.  Ran 2 miles at 7:30 and 3 at a 7:00 pace.

Below 0 outside with breeze = treadmill.  Wimpy (or smart) people may start moving away from here soon.......

Average 7.10 minues/mile.

Cold run today!  Nice, sunny and 3 degrees below zero.  Made  a short 3 mile jaunt.  Ran the 1st half with Jeff at under 7:30.  I then encouraged Jeff to scout ahead so I could slow down before my lungs turned to frozen blocks.  Still managed to average 7:30

Ran on the treadmill  in the AM and again at noon for a total of 8 miles at a 7:15 average.  My miles are down this week but I hope to get a quick one in the morning.

Ran from home to top of hill, around the development, and back. Nice sunny day in the mid teens.

AM - Ran a very poky 3 miles on the TM.  Since I was short on time, had to cut off at 3.   

 

Noon - The weather was quite windy so I ran another 4 TM miles at about a 7:20 pace.

Treadmill run in the morning  - speeds were 7:30, 7:11, 6:58, 6:58. 

Between family, friends, work, and all the other unplanned stuff, it is constantly a struggle to find time for running.   I am becoming more impressed all the time with the serious runners on this blog that continually make 50 or more miles per week.
