Mauri's Training

Over the weekend I actually found a training schedule that I am going to follow the best I can.  I wonder how it'll go on the days I feel like running further than it says or days where I feel like running less. I'm also planning on cross training and will be adding that to running. I really am hoping not to have to cut back on miles run each week.  Today I did the 6 miles like the schedule said.  Not a bad run.  Felt pretty good since I had the weekend off.  Stayed at an 8:30 mm. 

Ok, did 8 miles today.  Tough day.  Still pretty cold to run outside so went to the gym and ran on the tm.  Couldn't get in a grove until mile 6.  I didn't feel to great and not alot of energy.  It was just one of those days and I hope tomorrows better! 

Another day.  Much better than yesterday.   Went to gym.  6 miles 53.37.  Thinking about finding some hills or the stairs.  Plan on running outside over the weekend. Don't know why having such a hard time this winter getting out. Used to run around the river before they even had a greenbelt. 

Trying to stick with the schedule I have for training.  Today said a rest day but I thought I'd switch and try and take tomorrow off.  Schedule said 4 miles. It drives me nuts to just do 4, so after the 4 at 8:34 pace I walked a fast pace on the tm at an incline of 4.0/4.5.  After 1/2 miles I decided to run another 1/2 with the incline at 4.0 to see how it felt.  Then did the ellipicial for 20 min & then bike (set for hills) for 30 min.  Felt much better and felt like I had a good workout.  Tomorrow should offically be Rest day and will try and avoid the gym.  But, we'll see what happens.   Might venture outside for a  short run after work.

I didn't run today.   Should have been my day off so I went to the gym and did the elliptical for 30 min & bike for 30 min.  Felt good to do alittle something.  No one was home in the evening. Actually did Yoga.  It was great. Hope to have a good run over the weekend. 

Decided to go to the gym this afternoon after going to a movie. Did 5 miles- pretty easy run. Did yoga again afterwords. Am liking the varity and stretching.  I was so excited  - daughter's ran her first full mile!
