Mauri's Training

Ran after work today around the river.  Legs just alittle tired than yesterday. Glad it wasn't quite so windy.  I'm pretty sure I'll run in the morning....hoping anyway.  Went home and worked in the yard.  

I didn't have to go to work until later this morning so I slept in and then went to the gym.  I kinda liked working less hours on a Friday.  Looking forward to the weekend.

I'm watching my two neice's this weekend so I wasn't sure how long of a run I'd be able to do this week.  Thank goodness for grandparents!  I was able to run 10.5 miles.  The last couple of laps around the river there were a few social people.  There is a guys who walks around the river all the time and each time I went by him he'd say something to me.  The last lap I ended up stopping and talking to him for a minute.  Then there was a young girl who actually started running with me.  She said she had recently started running and was training for a half marathon.  There was another gentlemen who talked briefly as I went by.   I was glad to get alittle over 10 miles in.  I did the last few because I didn't know if I'd be running tomorrow.    The rest of the day was spent with my two neice's and my mom going to look at hardwood floors.   Then I got to come home and clean our hardwood floors.   

I ran before work. 7 miles.  It was so good to get it done early.  I was glad because after work it was alot worse.  I've been alittle tired but, hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. 

Nice run around the river.  Just wanted to do a typical run.

Decided to do a longer run today since I had things going on the last two days.  Felt great. 

I decided to run early this morning. I worked for part of the day today because I plan on taking some time off next week.  My sister is visiting from Sacramento.  Alittle tired from this week. 

Got up and ran early this morning before work.  I do like being able to go into work later if I want.  Normal run. 

Went up to Island Park with alot of family today.  I was glad to get out and go for a run.  I always like running in the higher elevation.  Ran up to Buttermilk Campground.  Not may people up there yet.  A little strange being up there durning the week.  It was great hanging out with everyone.  Bad part was Marlin wasn't able to go due to work and getting ready to go out of town.

I actually didn't run today. I walked with my sister up in Island Park.  She's been visiting from Northern Calif.  We don't get times like that very often.  The good part about the workout was the long hill that we usually run up.  She had injured her leg and hip when she ran her first half marathon a few months ago.  Fun times.

Early morning run this morning.  Did not like the wind but figured it would be worse in the afternoon. I was glad to get it done.

Last night went to Teton Running Store and listened to Jeff S.  It's always great to listen to any advice he gives.  I'm starting to love the running community here.  What an amazing thing to be a part of. 

I actually went for a walk over lunch today for about 1.25 miles.  After work I went down to the river and ran 7.5 miles. Just alittle tired. It could have been due to the weather or just because it's Friday.  After working out Marlin and I went to Stockmans for dinner.  Very glad it's the weekend. 

What a day.  I knew I wanted to get a long run in and thought 15 would be the max. I would have been happy with that.  But, I ran into Marlin around mile 12 and we ended up running a couple more laps around the river.   I was happy to get a few extra miles in!  I don't remember the last time I've this long of a run.  I need to do it more often.  I was that I had started out early.  If I'm up early tomorrow morning I think I'll head to the river again and do a run.  Normally Sunday is a day off.   Marlin did great - 20 miles.  I was so happy to keep up with him.  After our run we went to the Farmers Market by the river.  I hadn't been yet this year so I wanted to check it out.   It was great seeing all the runners running the Scenic River run today.  Kinda weird not running with them and I felt alittle bad.  But, I knew I wanted today to be my long run. 

Marlin is leaving tomorrow morning for Lake Tahoe so I took him to get the car rented and then went and ran my Sat errands.  It's going to be pretty strange having him gone! 

Well, today would typically be a day off.  But, with Marlin being gone I had more time to spare.  And, at first I was just going to go around the river twice.  But, then I thought...oh, I'll just go six miles.  Well, six turned into 7.25 miles to make it short.   I then came home and did a few little things and then went into Macy's with my mom.  Then I came home and tried to take a nap.  I didn't really sleep and when I got up I went to mom and dad's and helped with dinner.   Then, I came home, made my energy bars for the week and then made my lunch.  I was glad to get some miles in for the week!

Ran early this morning before work. I'm always wishing I'd get up and earlier than I do.  But, overall I'm still done pretty early and make it to work by 7am.  I walked durning lunch also.    Glad to see the good weather.  Marlin's gone so trying to keep busy. 

Got up early again and ran.  I always kinda dread it when I start out but by a half mile in I always forgot it and end up having a nice morning.  Just the usual run this morning.  Pretty strange Marlin not being here. 

Long run this morning. Actually got out the door by 5am!  Went the usual run leaving from the house.  As I was headed back I knew I'd get at least 7.5.  As I was coming up to this I kept thinking....run around the river after work or do it now, river, now, river, now...just get it done!  By the time I ran down this other road and back and then getting home I was alittle over the 10 miles.  I was sure glad to get it done.

I decided to wait to run after work today.  I knew I'd have a short day because I worked late a couple of days this week. It was nice getting off by 11am.  Went and ran the river. It was alittle breezy, but, good overall.  Spent the rest of the day shopping!  

Ran this morning in the AM. Pretty good run and it was still alittle cool.  Pretty happy with the pace today.  Went from around 7:53 to 8:13.  I'm feeling better about getting my runs in and trying to keep up the miles.

I didn't run this morning because I wanted to get to work early.  Work gets hectic at the end of month so I left work for a couple of hours to go to the river and run. I knew I'd run 7 miles, but as I was going along I knew - 7 was not enough.  I really wanted to get 10 in.  Someone actually told me today that he was using me as a pacer for his run.  That's never happened before.  Today was pretty warm so I was happy to not go under an 8:30 pace. 

I ended up running after work today. It was pretty warm, but, thank goodness for the breeze and water.  It ended up not being to bad.  I was glad to just get the miles in.  7 miles. 

Early run this morning in the am. I actually slept in a tiny bit.  But, I was still out the door by 5:45am.  I can tell I'm not fully awake when I run in the morning compared to the afternoon runs.   I was glad to get a walk in during lunch.  Lots going on at work and it was a good break.  Tomorrow Marlin's going to be home!!! Yahoo!!!

Normal run today. I'm not sure if I ran 7 or 8 miles in the moring.  Will report 7 for the run and 1 mile for walking at lunch.
