Mauri's Training

I can tell I've eaten alot of junk since my sister's gotten here. Didn't have quite as good of a run this morning. Just felt sluggish. Need to get back to eating normal. I was glad to get a normal 7 miles in before having to go to work.

It's been pretty hectic here since my sister, her son and his family has been here. Poor Marlin had to move freezers after dinner. My mom had asked if we wanted to switch because she wanted a smaller freezer and we've been using two. So, now we can just go down to one and she has a smaller one.

I had to take my sister to the airport this morning, so i was up alittle bit earlier than normal. Wish I could get myself to do it every morning. The weather wasn't to bad. I know that wno't last so I'm trying to hold out. Work was a normal day. Found out they're looking for people to work from home, so of course I put in for it. Since there are 3 of us new to the account our boss said we weren't the best choice right now. But, of course I went ahead and put in for it anyway. The other thing going on is my son got back from riding a destroyer for 1 1/2 weeks with his 2 bosses. He got to go from South Korea, ride the ship and ending in Singapore. He had a great time! What an experience. Hopefully they'll go someplace again in a couple of months. Lucky kid!

Just the usual run this morning. It's getting cooler. I sure do need to order another GPS watch. I lost mine at TOU at the end. I was lucky to wear Marlins since I'd run into him and he was just finishing up his run. Tomorrow afternoon I'm going to take a long lunch. My parents are headed down to Mesa, AZ for the winter and I'm going to take them to the airport. Kinda wish I'd taken part of the day off for tommorrow.

Early morning run this morning.  The weather was great!  I ran into Marlin shortly after I started.  He turned around and ran with me for alittle while because there was a strange young kid walking along the river.  Every once in awhile it makes me nervious to be running down there.  The usual walkers weren't there this morning.  I'll need to start thinking about going to the gym. Other than that it was a pretty good run.

After work Marlin and I went out to eat.  Love going to eat on Friday nights!

Decided to sleep in alittle bit. Once I took off I could see a few people up a ways talking - up around the boat docks on the river.  As I got closer they started to also run.  Low and behold it was Marlin running with someone.  Sure got my attention as they got closer.  He was running with the women that came in right behind him in the Pocatello Marathon.  After he introduced me to her and we talked for a few minute's he headed south towards the waterfalls and she and I ran north.  She was faster than I was and was happy to be keeping up!  Long story short we ended up running two loops around the river together.   After that I stopped to get a drink at my car and she kept going on.  I was shocked I could run with her.  When I asked her or pace was 7:37.  Later in the day Marlin and I went to the running store and I got a new Garmin watch!   Very exciting.  Now I'll know my pace again.  Still a bummer I lost my other one at TOU.

Around 6pm my sister, her two girls and I went up to Island Park to the cabin.  We watched a movie and went to bed.  This  morning we did the normal routine to close it up for the winter.  Sad to close it up for the winter.  But, Marlin and I plan on going up in a couple of weeks to bring the boat down.  It's just heaven up there.
