Mauri's Training

Managed to get in 7.25 this morning.  I think I got out the door right around 6am.   Cooler with alittle wind, but not to bad.  I only see a couple of cars each morning.   There are a couple of neighbors I see some mornings when I'm in my last mile.  I'm always glad to see them out walking. 

No run after work. But, I did go to Freeman Park and walked 30 min just to get my legs moving. 

AM run - 7 miles this morning.  Went out pretty early - 5:40am.  Pretty dark but, I managed.   Kinda strange being out that early.  It was nice being done before 6am though. 

PM run - 3 miles.  I'm going to call it a tempo run even though my pace varied depending on the incline.  Went anywhere from around a 8 min mile to a 9.35 min mile.  I'm trying to get used to running on tired legs.  Hope it pays off and gets easier. 

Made it out the door to run at about 5:30am.  Kinda cool, but not to bad.  I've been trying to keep my morning runs at an easy pace since I've been running again some afternoons. Today I don't think I can because we have company over from Boise for the weekend.   I'm so glad it's Friday. I can sleep in alittle tomorrow.   However, I think we're going to Island Park to the cabin or maybe Jackson.   The run this morning wasn't to bad. I thought I'd be alittle more tired. I keep thinking base miles,base miles......

my watch died on me this morning so I'm thinking I did the usual 6.2 miles.  I ran the greenbelt and freeman park. 

In a hurry this morning.  We have company from Boise and we're headed to Jackson, into Yellowstone and then the cabin.  Will be a long day- but good.

Managed to get 7 miles this morning. Good for a Monday.  : )

AM run was 7 miles out at home. Not to bad of run.

PM run was 3 miles also. Glad to get 10 in for the day.

Ran 6 miles after work at Freeman Park.  Kinda nice being at a quieter part of the river. 

AM run was 7.5 miles this morning out at home. Getting darker now but can still see overall.  Don't plan to run this afternoon.

AM run this morning was alittle later than normal.  Took the day off work!!! Had a good run partly because I could see and it wasn't dark!   It wasn't to windy and I liked the cooler weather.

PM run was after I ran all my errands.  Ran at SRL and Marlin showed up alittle after I'd gotten there.  It was windy which was not fun.  But, I'm liking the 2 runs a day every other day.  

Did the usual run this morning. Wasn't to motivated to do much more. Just wanted to get some miles in to finish out the week.

AM run before work.  I'm liking the cooler weather. Just like it being dark longer.  Almost didn't have enough time to do my run because I started alittle late.  Butl, still made it on time for work!

Lunch- can't run during lunch, but, I was glad I could get out and walk for 20-25 min.  Loving the warm weather.

I made it out the door earlier this morning. Trying to stay motivated rather than feel like I'm going through the motions. Normal run. Just alittle tired and glad to get it done.

Ran earlier today at 5am.   I wanted to get done earlier and try to get into work earlier.  It was  pretty dark so I wore my headlamp.  Felt like it was hard to get and maintain a good pace in the dark.  I got home before the sun even came up.   Since I had my headlamp on more dogs barked which I didn't like.  Kind of strange hearing an owner call for his dog while I was out running.  He must have been out working in the fields or getting his newspaper.   When cars pass me in the morning at that time I always wonder what they think of someone being out that early.  Crazy person!   I think tomorrow I'll actually go to work early and get off by 2pm.  Will try running in the afternoon to see how it goes.

PM lunch. Nice day so walked durning lunch. Was probably more than 1mile, but will post 1 extra mile for the day.

Went to work early today.  Normally would be out running at that time - 5:30am.  But, wanted to try and run later in the day.  I almost didn't go after work because it was windy. But, went ahead and went.  It was hard running up a couple of the hills with the wind. But, was glad to be running in the daylight.  Just did 6.5 miles and was glad to maintain a 9 mile average pace with the wind.

Went to work early today 5am.  Wanted to get off early and then run. It was pretty warm with a breeze and I felt I was struggling throughout the run. Average pace as 9.5 min mile.  Wanted to take it easy because I want to have a good run tomorrow. Either that or take the day off and have a long run on Sunday which is what I should probably do.

Thought about taking the day off today, but i wanted to get to 40 miles for the week so I went and ran a couple times around the river.  Nice having a more flat surface to run on. Pretty easy run.

Went into work early today 5am.  I wanted to have the afternoon to run. Was alittle tired from waking up at 4am.  But, ended up running around the river and did 8 miles. Somewhat windy which was a pain in some places but was happy with my pace overall. Averaged around a 9 min mile. 

Had a meeting with my boss today and he doesn't mind when I work. But, I'm not sure if I want to start work at 5am.  Might go in at 6 tomorrow. Love the flexibility of my job. 

When I started out I wasn't sure how far I'd go.  Ended up going the same route as yesterday.   Did 8 miles.  Alittle warmer than yesterday, but not as windy which was nice.  

Absolutly no motivation to run today!   Only felt so so this weekend so decided to take the day off.   Woke up this morning not feeling the best.  Went into work alittle late, but still managed to go.  Will look forward to running tomorrow!

Managed to run 6 miles today. I've been having a reaction to something.  Might be new pillows I bought a couple of weeks ago. Anyway, went to the doc and found out can't do much right now except to take med.   Ran after seeing the doctor and took it easy.  Started by running around the river and headed over to Freeman Park because it was windy.  By the time I got back it was 6 miles.  Overall was happy with my pace.   Kept it between a 9 & 9 1/2 min mile. 

Spending the weekend over in Boise.  My daughter came over to do the Womens Celebration Walk and I brought my mom over to see her great grand daughter and to see her sister.  We had to drive out past Boise to see her sister. Close to Onterio. While she spent time with her sister I took the chance to go for a run.  Talk about hills! Wish we had some of them out by my house.  Went 8 miles.  It was pretty warm but it was nice to be out running some place completely new.  After running we found this great fruit & veggie stand.  Couldn't believe how big the produce was.   Fun times!

No run today because I worked a 12 hour day.  We're trying to finish end of month quota's so we're working extra hoping to take Friday off.  I haven't been feeling well since the end of last week so didn't have the energy after working.

Ran after work today.  Still haven't been feeling well. I haven't had this hard of run since I don't remember when.   Didn't feel like I could get a deep breath.  Took it easy and wanted to just get some miles in.  The last week has really been lacking. I've had an allergic reaction to something....not sure what.   Had went to the doc the end of last week and they we're sure either. Just trying to feel better.

I felt alittle bit better today. Much easier run.  Felt like I even had energy left at the end.  Feeling more and more like what ever I had a reaction to is finally getting out of my system. Actually felt like I could pick up the pace during the run.  I'm loving the weather!

Another warm day.  I worked later than I wanted to.  Meeting end of month quota's is a pain at times.  Spent some time at work today looking into transferring to another dept. Mainly because I've been doing this job for probably 3 yrs or so. 

After work didn't really feel like running.  But, I went to the river and was able to run 7.  I was alittle tired, but very glad I did it.  I'm not working tomorrow so I'm looking forward to sleeping in alittle - longer than 4 or 5am - getting a good run in with cooler weather.
