Mauri's Training

First run for the new year.  Didn't really want to get out of bed and go to the gym.  Just wanted to have an easier day today.  I was happy that the run actually wasn't to bad.  I think I was bummed that I had to work today.  Hopefully I'll feel like going to do yoga after work.  Hope everyone has a good day off! 

I've been thinking about switching things up.  Just ran 5 miles this morning with a few intervals.  Then went and did the Arc Trainer for 15 min's.  Finished with a couple of weights and then off to work.  I've been working on strenghting my back alittle more.  I had planned on going back to the gym yesterday for the 4:30pm yoga class, but got out of work late.  Oh well, just stretched alittle watching tv last night. 

Got to the gym this morning and again.....very busy.  Dang all the new years resolution people.   No, I think it's good.  They're trying. I went straight to a TM by the window. Stopped and talked to Marlin for a few minutes since he was riding the bike (he hurt his leg at work).  I did see Jeff and Lynette up on the TM, but, didn't make it over to say hello.  Felt kinda of bad about not being very social. But, didn't really want to interrupt their run.   Ran 7 miles easy.  After I got done I stopped and talked to Andrea for a few minutes.  Talked about core work.    Finished with a few weights and then stretching.  Off to work.  

I'm hoping to go home and ride the bike again tonight.   I had done it last night for 20 or so minutes and felt pretty good.  Got me motivated to stretch when I was done. 

I'm starting to learn you have to get to the gym very early these days to get a TM. I felt lucky to get the one I did.  It all started out well and then just quit on me.  Boy, was I glad to see that another one had opened up down by Lynette.  She's great motivation.   Once I got going it turned into a good run.  Finished with 7.5 miles.  I went back and did a few weights, core and stretching. One of these days it'll pay off....I hope.   Off to work.  

Made it to the gym early today.  Was happy to see it wasn't as busy!  It was a normal Friday.  Glad to see it was easy to get a TM.   Ran 7 miles easy and then still had time for weights and stretching!  Hope everyone has a good day!!!

Had to work so just rode our exercise bike at home for 1 hour.

I was glad I had time to put in an extra mile.  8.10 miles - good run. 

Day off!  Was happy to be at the gym early today considering it was a day off for me.  Saw Marlin and Curt.  Didn't get tp talk to Curt before he left.  Had planned on just 7 or 8 miles, but ended up with 10.  I was happy I was able to get some intervals in the run.  Spent time doing weights and stretching.  It was a long workout today and hope I can do it again tomorrow. 

9 miles early this morning.  Went home and over to my sisters for a cup of coffee and then back to the gym for yoga. 

Today was a day I really did not want to go to the gym.  I knew in my head last night it'd be like that.   I broke down at 4:50 this morning and got up to go.  Once I got there is was GREAT to see Curt, Kevin and Lynette, and of course Marlin! Later on I saw that Andrea was there.  McKay showed up as I was finishing up.  And, it was great Debra was there. She stopped over to talk to McKay, but I was glad to talk to her for a few min's also.  It's amazing what a difference it makes seeing everyone.  Had planned on just 6 miles, but was happy to do the 7.   I'm glad I went and feel much better.

Went to the gym early this morning.  It was great seeing Curt and Jeff first thing. Saw Marlin, Lynette, Andrea and Deborah working out also. I love walking upstairs and seeing whoever's there.  Make me glad I went.  After talking to Marlin for a few min's I started with my run.  I'm glad he's been able to run!  Tried to just take it easy since it was Friday.  Since I was there early I got to do a few weights and stretched.  Nice workout. 

yesterday i went to the gym alittle later than Marlin.  I'd gotten up early the whole week so I wanted to take advantage of a Sat.   I saw Jeff as soon as I came up the stairs.  It was get he gave me some advice on doing my run. Helped me do an even  longer run than I'd planed. It felt so good to do a long run again!  I hadn't done for so long.  Afterwards I did a couple of weights and stretched.  Then Marlin and I went to Gray's house to watch the Olymic Trials with everyone.  Then I actually went up to the cabin since my sister and her two girls were there.  

Made it to the gym pretty early this morning.  Just a normal run.  8 miles.  Good seeing everyone.  Finished with stretching.  It's Monday!!!

Went to the gym this morning.  Happy to run next to Marlin and Curt.  Saw Andrea and Lynette.  Found out it was Curt's birthday today from Lynette!  To bad we all couldn't sing to him. 

I was happy I did intervals today.  Felt pretty good overall.  I think over this last year they've gotten easier.  Finshed with stretching and then off to work. 

Run was harder than I wanted today.  Just couldn't get past the tired feeling.  Right hip hurt alittle more.  May have been due to intervals yesterday or not stretching enough yesterday.  Made sure and stretched today before heading off to work. 

Managed to get to the gym.  Seven miles tempo run.

Happy to get to the gym today.  Ended up with 7.5 miles.  Marlin was great enough to schedule me a massage after work today.  Sure hope it helps my hip. 

Long run day.  Decided to sleep in alittle bit today.  I was able to get a massage yesterday after work (thanks Marlin for setting it up), so I wanted to sleep alittle longer.  Once I got to the gym it was SO busy!!!  It was pretty difficult to get a TM.  Got one next to Curt and Alana.  I wasn't sure how my hip and leg were going to feel so I was very happy to get the 16 in.  At mile 12 I noticed I was alittle tired, but I was going to get to 16 miles no matter what.  I'm not sure if it was because of the massage or that I didn't fuel right this morning.  But, got it done!   After running did some stretching and core work.  Then the hottub before going to see Sherlock Holmes with my daughter.  Hope everyone had a good run today!

Alittle tired today, but did the usual 7.  I've been trying to get more in a training mode so I think I'll try and go back to the gym after work.  I can't believe all the people doing 2 a day workout's.  I just want to make sure and stretch, some weights and possibly some type of cardo again.   Saw Curt and Marlin as soon as I got there.  Happy Monday!

Went back to the gym after work.  Ended up doing yoga and stretched.  It sure is nice doing something else.  I guess maybe not that many people are doing two a day. 

Boy, I almost didn't make it to they gym today.  Ended up just running alittle late, not to bad tho.  Ran 7 miles with a zillion small intervals. 

I'm starting to work on a project at work to try and get the employees into a 5k or 10k in May.  Trying to pull it together in the next week and a half to launch it to the employee's. I'm working with someone in our Northern Idaho site that does the Ironman there.  We're hoping to make it a competition between our three sites - the other is in Colorado.   We're got some pretty unfit people at work so I'm trying to think of how to get them motivated and out of their comfort zone.  I'm going to start with finding a beginning training program so they have something to follow.  Hopefully this thing goes well.

Normal run.

7 miles with a few miles of tempo run.

Pretty tempted not to go today.  To much guilt to handle so off to the gym.

Made it to the gym early this morning.  Not quite as early as Marlin and Curt however.   I felt like running over by the front window to watch people come and go....once it got light enough.  Had planned on running 14 miles.  Felt ok, so went 2 more to make 16 miles.  Stretched really well then the hot tub.   

Managed to get to the gym alittle earlier today.  8 miles total.  After work I went back to do the yoga class.  Sure does make a difference when you stretch.  Finished with doing a couple of other exercises with Marlin.  It was a good day of working out. 

Intervals at the gym this morning. I was alittle tired, so I'm not sure if it was due to the intervals or yoga and strenght training yesterday after work.

Went back to the gym after work today. Did the ellipitical for 30 min's, stretched and some strenght training.
