Mauri's Training

What a month it's been.  I've ran to few of miles to even count this month!  I spent around a week and a half in Ariz helping my dad after he'd had open heart surgery.  The miracles of modern medicine.  He's 82 yrs old and been an exerciser pretty much his whole life.  As far back as I remember anyway.  He's living proof that working out pays off.  He's got a ways to make a full recovery tho.  I had  to put off working out because while I was down there we had 12 hr days at the hospital and once he was home someone had to be right there whenever he got out a chair,walked, ect.... 

This last week I was in Sacramento to watch my neice graduate from college. It was so hectic with so much family around I didn't get to work out much.

Now that I'm back home I really want to get back on track. Ran today 10 miles on the TM. Afterwords did a few weights. Felt good to get a good workout in!

Ran today on the TM.  Ended up doing 10 miles with a half of mile talking to Marlin when he got there.  Pretty good run. Expected to be more tired than I was after yesterday. Been trying to do a few weights lately.  It's been kinda nice and I can tell I've been missing that part of training. Good day. : )

Just a normal day.  Had been having a hard time entering my miles because it's been so busy.  Will be glad when the new year gets here.

I didn't work today & had a good day at they gym. Got my last min shopping done before Christmas and got my workout in before going home.   Was glad for a short week and the day off.

I made it to the gym today after a few errands.  Was glad to get a run in since I didn't run yesterday.  Usual day at the gym on the TM.

Ran 7 miles on the TM at the gym today.  Just been trying to get some miles in lately to back in a good routine.  Worked on some weights to try and do something else besides just running.  So far I'm liking it. 

Ran today at the gym.  Ended up running 8 miles with walking a half to cool down.   Threw in some incline at the end.  Worked on some weights and stretched at the end to finish things out. 

Typical run at the gym.   Ended up running about 8.20 miles.  I started walking at 8 miles to cool down and then thought that was taking to long so picked it up and finished with a jog.  I don't plan on working all day tomorrow so I'm hoping to have a longer run.   Sure is cold outside!!!

Got off of work early today.  I acutally didn't have to go in at all, but I wanted to get a few things done.  Left around 10:15am.  It was nice going to the gym earlier!  Ended up doing 10 miles.  Every day once I reach 7 I keep telling myself - 'i'll stop in another half'.  Then once i get there I can't think of stopping until I get to the next mile.  Also, if I stop to walk to cool down I may walk for a minute or so and then pick it up to finish it out cuz it's driving me nuts to walk.  Sometimes I just do alittle extra...today I ended up going to 10.    Glad I did it because I sure didn't feel like running at mile 4.   Ran around a 9 mm.  Did a few arm weights and then situps to finish.  Hope it's a good day tomorrow.
