A Runner at Heart.....Riding a Bike

It was 45 degrees and sunny today.  I ran 10.66 miles easy.

It was 53 degrees and windy at the top of Buckskin this morning.  YAY....shorts weather!  Barry wanted to tempo the first part of our long run today.  I was tired after the week I have had at work but agreed to do my best.  I was able to tempo the first 11 miles and averaged a 6:56 until that point.  I spent the next 9 miles paying for it as I was really tired and worn out from lack of sleep this week.  I ran 20.68 miles in all.

It was 31 degrees with some wind this morning.  I ran 2.05 miles before I met up with the MWF group.  I ran almost 5 miles with them and then another 1.6 on my own.  Total of 8.61 miles with a couple fast miles thrown in.

It was 44 degrees this morning and VERY Windy.  I ran 10.58 easy as I did not want to fight the wind that much.

It was 31 degrees with light winds this morning.  I ran 2 miles then met up with the MWF group.  We had 13 runners this morning, a new record.  After running 1.35 with the beginners, Barry and I ran another 4.25, then I ran home.  Total miles 8.55

It was 34 degrees and very wet outside.  It stopped snowing/raining for the most part before I started.  I ran 6.51 miles easy before my long drive today.

It was 54 degrees in Moab this morning but winds were 25-30mph this morning.  I hope it calms down for tomorrow.  I ran 5.15 easy miles.

I ran this as strictly a training run as part of a road trip with my friend.  The conditions were great until we turned south at mile 16.5.  The next 9.7 miles were against winds steady at 30 and gusting even higher.  I actually felt great at the end and would have easily been under 3:30 if not for the wind.  My injury held up pretty well too.

It was 42 degrees with 10-15mph winds this morning.  After Saturday it felt like nothing!  I ran a couple miles before running 1.5 with our new runner group.  Then I ran a few miles with Barry before running home.  Total of 8.21 easy miles.

It was 37 degrees with light winds and a few rain sprinkles this morning.  I ran a couple warm-up miles before doing 3 fairly decent tempo miles.  Then I ran easy and did the last 2 with Lowell and Terry who are going to Boston this weekend.  GOOD LUCK GUYS!!!  I ran 11.22 total miles.

It was 35 degrees this morning with some wind.  I ran 2 miles before meeting up with our beginners group.  WE HAD 21 RUNNERS THIS MORNING!!!  A new record!!!  I think it helped that we bribed everyone with Free Taco coupons for running.  I gave double coupons to the first timers.  I ran 1.5 with the new group and then finished another 7 on my own for a total of 10.66 miles.

It was 31 degrees with really cold winds this morning.  Luckily the snow last night only stuck to the grass and the roads were clear.  I ran 10.63 miles easy.

It was 31 degrees this morning but the winds were much calmer.  I ran 2 miles up to our group run and then 1.5 with them.  We had around 20 again this morning.  The I ran 3 with Barry and Chad and then 3.5 on my own.  Total 10.03 miles.

It was 45 degrees and windy on the top of Buckskin this morning.  We actually saw 2 young moose on the side of the road about 3 1/2 miles in to the run.  They looked like they were about a year old.  We never saw their mom but we were really careful.  We had some strong winds off and on but I had a good solid run, especially considering I ran a marathon last week.  I ran some tempo miles the last 2 1/2 miles in to Inkom and felt really strong.  In total I ran 21.13 miles to finish the week just over 71.

It was 41 degrees with steady rain this morning.  My sister in law Kathy was in town so we came over this morning to run with us.  We ran the 2 miles to meet the MWF group.  We actually had 18 runners even with the rain today!  We ran 1.5 miles with them and then Kathy wanted some hill work because she is running a 5 mile section of a relay in June that is all uphill.  I took her down and then back up Satterfield.  Then I dropped her off at the house and did a bit more.  I ran 10.12 easy miles in total.

It was 28 degrees with a wind chill of 16 when I left this morning.  It didn't warm up hardly at all during the whole run.  I was cold whenever the sun was behind the clouds.  I ran 20.15 easy miles on my standard loop all around the town.

It was 23, yes 23 degrees this morning!!!  I ran a couple miles before meeting with our group.  We had 20 runners!  We have some of them up to 2 miles now.  Then I ran a few more with Barry and Chad throwing in 1 tempo mile in the middle.  I finished by myself for a total of 10.06.

It was 36 degrees this morning with very little wind.  I ran 10.71 easy miles.

It was 25 degrees this morning.  I wore shorts anyway....I am just defiant.  We had 23 show up for our group run this morning.  Everyone that showed up got a FREE case of Gatorade from our "anonymous" donor.  Our group is really starting to look good.  After the group run I ran another 3 with Barry and Chad, then finished on my own.  Barry is not going to run longer tomorrow so I am searching for a running partner or at least a ride for tomorrow's planned 22.

It was 28 degrees with cold winds this morning.  I didn't feel really great so I only went 10.62 today.

It was 31 degrees and sunny this morning.  I decided to run today because I felt like a slouch after only going 10 yesterday.  It was actually a beautiful morning for a run.  I ran 10.56 miles with 3 tempo miles that felt really easy.

It was 40 degrees but the cold winds made it feel a lot colder.  The wind chill was below 30.  I managed to get 5 miles in before running with our new runner group.  I ran 2 more with them, then another 3.5 with Barry and Chad.  Finished with another couple miles by myself for 13.15.  I already have a good start to my planned BIG mileage week.

It was 31 degrees, windy, and SNOWING this morning.  Isn't it almost May?  I did my loop around Pocatello and slogged-out my 20-miler.  Not exactly an enjoyable run.  I was soaked when I got home but it is done.

It was 31 degrees but WAY nicer than yesterday.  It was a clear morning and as soon as the sun came up the temperature felt fine.  I ran 4 miles before our group run this morning.  I went another 2 with the group then went 4 more with Barry and Chad.  We think we have figured out the course for our running group's 5K and BBQ this summer.  I finished with Chad and then ran a couple with Kristin.  Total miles 13.05.

It was 45 degrees and very windy this morning.  Besides the wind it was pretty nice.  I ran an easy 15.61 on my university loop.

It was 30 degrees and snowing when I left the house this morning.  Luckily the snow tapered off after a mile or so.  I ran 4 miles before our group run, then I did 2.3 with the faster group (we upped the mileage 10% today).  After that I ran 3.5 with Barry , Chad, and Kristin before running home.  I threw in 4 tempo miles which seemed fairly easy, especially with my mileage this week.  Total for the day 10.31.  Long run (22) tomorrow.

It was 25 degrees at the top of Buckskin this morning according to my car thermometer which normally reads a bit high.  I was in shorts because....I just was.  I ran a good tempo for the first 13 miles then I slowed when I hit the very cold headwinds coming out of Inkom.  I ran 22.06 miles and feel a bit tired from the week but definitely not dead.
