Training

AM - TM on a Monday. Warmer this morning - 30f.  I may have to start running outside from the gym. 

Noon - Out for 5 miles at noon.  Started out with Jeff, who was planning some speedwork, and went on alone.  The path is nearly all clear now.  Cloudy, 30f  Pace - 7:38

Morning tm run.  1mile  - 7:48, 2.6 miles - 7:30  The showers were full so I was late getting done.

5 mile noon run on another cloudy day.  The path is clear now, but there is still a lot of snow around.  It is melting, just not fast enough.   Ran 1 easy mile and 4 fast (MP) miles.  Pace - 729  temp - 32, north wind

I am home with a sick 10 yr old today, but took a break for some intervals.  Ran down York road for a mile and then ran 6 - 1/2 mile intervals with 1/2 mile breaks.  I have never done these before and now I know why.  My old bones do not like speed.   Interval Pace: 6:44, 6:40, 6:30, 6:42, 6:30, 6:44,  Temp - 34, light north wind

Home with Austin and his strep today.  Ran up through the neighborhood and a few out and backs to get 6.6 miles.  Felt good running but the day is not great.  Some sleet, snow and wind, but at least it is melting the snow.  Pace - 8:06, temp -35

Morning run from home.  Carried a water bottle 4 miles to the intersection of Hitt and Canyon and then made a couple of 4 mile loops from there.  I ran at marathon pace while down on the flat roads but could not maintain it on the hilly stuff.  Nice sunny day with temps around freezing and light north wind.  Pace  7:41

Morning - On the TM at 5:40 today which seems to be better for availability.  On my long run Saturday I forgot to use Body Glide and wore some rough sweat pants which really nailed my inner thighs.  I went easy today.  pace 8:00  

Noon - Nice springlike day.  Ran the usual loop with one slow warmup mile and 4 under 7:30.  Temp low 40's, light southern wind.  The snow is really going now, I even ran on grass for a half mile.

Morning - Treadmills were full again so I lifted weights for a while and managed 1.7 miles before it was time to go.

Noon - Outside for a slow 5 miles around the greenbelt.  Windy and cloudy today with a temperature around 30.    no GPS

AM - TM run at the gym.  I had to be at work early again so 3.3 miles.

Noon - Greenbelt on a chilly, breezy day. Ran a slow 5 miles.  The geese are starting to act up- it must be that time of year - or maybe they are tired of winter too.

Noon - better weather today with sunshine and above freezing temps.  I was planning on running a few more fast miles but an upset stomach changed the plan.  Breezy and 32 f.  Pace - 7:48

Another day of not feeling well.  I started out ok and planned a long hill run, but cut it short at 6 miles with an upset stomach and actually had to walk down the hill to get home.   It seems to be aggravated by running so no long run this weekend.

AM  Treadmill run at the gym.  Late start and forgot a shirt, so only 3.2 miles.

Noon    Nice sunny day for a run.  Ran 1 slow and 4 fast miles on the greenbelt.  Pace  7:30

Morning:   Got to the gym with plenty of time for a decent run and realized my son had the key fob that opens the door.  Back home to get it and returned for a short 2.2 miles.   At least I tried. 

Noon:  Since this morning was a bust, I went to Panchari for 6.3 miles.  Nice day and running in shorts made it better.  I felt pretty good and managed a 7:15 pace.  temp - 40, light wind

No morning run.  Greenbelt to Panchari at noon

AM  4.2 miles on the tm.

noon:   5 mile river loop.  Nice day, a little breezy and 40f.   No GPS and not motivated to push it today.   Hopefully I am ready for a long run tomorrow.   

Out for a long Saturday morning run from home.  Ran 4 miles and then met Jeff F. at Hitt/Sunnyside intersection for a 10 mile loop down toTauthaus park and back to John Adams near Wal Mart,  Nice easy pace and good company made this the better part of the run.  Left Jeff and wandered  around Ammon a little before heading out Ammon Road to home.  I managed 1 fast mile on Ammon Road.  Pace 8:11- Nice day with light wind and low 30's. 

Yuck  -  Monday.   Missed the alarm again and did not get out in the morning.  At noon there was no hot water for the showers so I went to the gym for 4.1 slow tm miles. 

Morning tm run for 4.1 easy miles. 

Noon - Outside on a nice sunny day.  I ran 1 warm-up mile and then 4 fast miles around the greenbelt.  In my heightened state of befuddlement from running fast, I somehow shut off the GPS at 3.83 miles.  Anyway, I think 4 miles were fast, though the last one was a much slower fast.  Pace: 1) 7:42  2)6:50  3)6:57  4) 6:46  5) ? 

Ran the morning tm for an easy 4.2 miles.  I am in a retirement class so no time for a noon run today or likely tomorrow.

Morning tm run. 

Noon - short on time so I ran 3 loops aroud Freeman at a good pace.  Mile1 - 6:46, mile 2 - 6:35 (my best non aided mile so far)  mile 3 - 6:50

Out for a long one on a cold, windy day.  There were a few snow flakes flying aroud before I left home, but that ended and it was still a miserable day.  I do not think my head was in the run today as I trudged into the wind at a slow pace.  Ran to tautphus park with lots of meandering side trips to get out of the wind.  Pace -7:58  Temp low 30's     

Great morning run up through the neighborhood on a nice day.  Ran a 1 mile loop with Austin (he did surprisingly well only walking for about 100 ft after climbing for half a mile) and then ran back up to the top of Township and down York.  Warmer day (low 40's)  but breezy on top.  Pace  7:49.   

Morning treadmill run.  I needed to come in to work early so ended it at 3.1 miles. Pace - 8:00

Noon - Five easy miles on the greenbelt.  Windy and 49f.  No GPS

The walkers had all the tm's again this morning.  I was really impressed with how slow this particular group was walking, it reminded me of the mall-zombies in Day of the Dead.   I put 1 mile on the elliptical while waiting and then 3.3 more on a tm so I will claim 4

No morning run.   Ran the greenbelt at noon for 6.2 miles.   Decent day and ran pretty well although my stomach was bugging me.  Pace 7:04  temp - mid 30's  no wind
