Mauri's Training

Ran after work today. Stopped by Parks & Rec on the way to the gym. I wanted to rent a locker so that I had a place to change when I ran the river this summer.  Ran alittle over 8 miles on the TM.   Afterwords did some stretching before heading home.  I stopped by the river thinking I'd run another mile to get myself outside.  By then it was cooler and I was cold from working out earlier.  So, I made it short. Won't even count it for today.

A fun day doing intervals. Not really tho. The top of my foot has been bothering me! It's alittle buised. Who knows maybe I tied by shoes to tight one day. But, the last couple of days it's gotten worse. I did my best with the intervals.

Ran 6x800 w/400recovery. .5 Incline. 1 1/2 miles warmup @ 9:22. 8:00(173), 7:53 (172), 7:53 (172), 7:47 (170), 7:41 (174), 7:35 (180).

I didn't have a ton of time today to run.  Worked 45 min's late and then needed to be at Texas Roadhouse at 5pm. Today was better with my foot.  Today was Marlin and I's wedding anniversary! We were married the same day as my parents. It is their 60th! So,we all went out to eat along with my sister, her two kids and good friends of my parents. I tired to keep my pace up to get some miles in. Amazing what you can do when you're in a hurry.  Slowly inched up the pace as the run went on.  By the end of the run it was at an 8 min mile.  Yahoo!   Tomorrow Marlin and I are leaving for S. Dakota so I probably won't get a run in.

We're in Spearfish, SD.  I was glad to get 10 miles in today. We went down to a small gym there in town and was able to run since it was alittle cool outside.  Felt pretty good after taking yesterdsay off due to traveling. TM's we're the best, but, overall all right.  Sure do like the lower elevation from home!

Long run in Spearfishh, SD today.  Went back down to the gym and had a pretty good run. My problem with the TM's is I kept hitting the Stop button and I'd lose all my info!  Finally got myself to stop that finally.  Left hip started to really bug me within the first couple of miles. I figured it was due to being on a new TM.  Actually thought I'd have to stop, but after alittle while it went away.  I was glad it get a couple of miles more  than I wanted.   I need to get more long runs in I usually do.  Heading home tomorrow so it'll be another rest day.  With the week the way it's been I'm glad to get the miles I did this week.
