runnin with a friend

Early morning run to work with nice temps in the low 50's. Lots of people out this morning. Looking to run home later and get some miles in for the day.

Six miles home on a very nice afternoon. Temps in around 70 with a nice breeze. Nice to get a couple of runs in today. Hope to do the same workout Friday.

Well I didn't run to work or back home but I did manage to get a run in during the afternoon. Nice temps...70's with a nice breeze. Good week so far. Hope to get something in the low teens Saturday.

So much for my plans today. Up at 4am to go to work and had to work a 12 hour day and then I had church stuff to do afterwards. Managed to get a small run in. Overall a good week though. Interesting today I ran past a couple that were biking on the pathway. I'm not fast, but I blew past them like they were frozen. I don't understand the concept of riding a bike that slow. Maybe 5mph tops!

Ran with Paige and Hanna (daughter, dog) this morning. 3.20 with Paige and Hanna and 7 solo. Nice morning with nice temps. Off for some chores today and some family time.

Ran late in the evening due to all kinds of garb that developed during the day. Ran the last two in 13 minutes which is good for me in my current stage of training.

Out the door at 4:45 this morning. Temps at 48 degrees. Just perfect...... so I thought until I came across a fellow runner that was dressed quite differently that I was. Mittens, stocking cap, and other attire covered his running torso...... Probably some migrating Texan.......

Ran home on a warm (80) afternoon. Nothing special here, just getting some miles in. Lots of cars honking at me. Interesting how motorists get annoyed at some runner invading their space. Morons....

Received a call this morning at 3:30. Co-worker needed a shift covered so he called me. I decided to run in even though it was a bit early for me. Out the door at 3:55am! That's early! 5 1/2 mile warm up and then a nice half mile run. It took forever to get the legs going this morning. We had some friends drop in last night. They are dropping their daughter off at BYUI so we put them up for the night. Up late chatting with them. Good thing I am off the rest of the week.

Ran home with temps right around 80. I am ready for a nap.

Slept in and made breakfast for our friends that are staying with us. Had the kids come home for lunch and then went out in the heat of the day. Warm 82 degrees and a slight breeze from the north on a very pleasant afternoon. Ran up sunnyside and back home for 8 plus miles. Time to go stain the back deck and enjoy the September weather.

Up at 7am and ran 3 miles with my daughters jump rope team. Ran back home and grabbed Hanna for another 4 and then 3 mp miles to finish up. Good week for me considering the ankle issues during the early part of the summer. Now to finish staining the deck and watch the USopen tennis semis.

Mixed up the run from work with some easy miles and some fast miles...... fast for me. It's going to be a great week for running here in Idaho.

Easy miles to work and back home. Temps around 80 on the way home. Mornings are just ideal...... 50 or so.

Decided to try some mile repeats today to see where my fitness level was at. Short recovery runs between them...... maybe half mile or so is what it looks like. 1mile warm up and then off...... 6:20 6:15 6:18 6:25 6:02. Don't let the last one fool you, it was down hill. All in all I felt okay. It has been a very up and down year for me, so I didn't expect much more than this.

Six miles to work at 3:50am this morning. Nothing special just getting the miles in.

Six miles home on a very pleasant afternoon. Great Idaho weather with more on the way!

Ran after work on a very nice afternoon with temps in the high 60's. It rained all day till I got off work. Legs felt better than they have all summer long.

Easy miles running to work this morning. Nice out, with temps in the low 50's and very little wind. Might run home later...... not sure. I am getting a light twinge in my ankle and don't know if it is a phantom pain or the real thing...

Not much was happening after work so I had my daughter drive me up the hill and I ran back home and around for a 8.5 mile run. Ankle felt fine.... phantom pains I guess. This has been a good week for me with mileage. Hope to beable to keep this up for a while.

We (family)took a day trip to Yellowstone Park Monday and spent the entire day there. Didn't get a run in but had a great day! Ran to work on a very pleasant morning at 5am. Legs felt good this morning....probably due to the two days off. Will run home this afternoon. Avg pace 8:05

 Ran home on a great afternoon! Temps around 70 and just a nice breeze to cool you off. Felt pretty good for the most part.

Some slow miles today. Legs felt tired for some reason. Great weather! Hoping it lasts for a while. avg pace 8:15

Ran after work this afternoon. Temps in the low 70's. Just perfect weather. Tried a progressive run today for kicks and giggles. Slow warm up and some marathon pace miles and finished up with a speedy mile at the end. (speedy for me) avg pace for the run 7:50

Got the kids off for school this morning and then took off for a quick run on a beautiful fall morning here in Idaho. Ran up Sunnyside and over to and around everywhere. Just some easy miles today. Have buyers remorse right now with the treadmill. I guess when it turns cold it will be better on my mental state.

Just a quick thought with all the harvest of frest produce that is going on. Crooked neck squash + peaches + pears + apples = good running and the

42 degrees and no wind. Great morning here in Idaho Falls! Sheridan and I started out ot 5:50am and ran up Sunnyside and over to Boulevard and back home. IT band issues so we cut the run a bit short. Ice and stretching and hopefully no problems come Monday. Now time for a peach and blueberry smoothie!

Pretty warm morning compared to what we have been having lately. Mid 50's at 5:50AM/ Ran to work and had no issues with the ITBand. Happy about that. Also, happy that the Sox won a game last night. Seems like they are trying to throw it all away.

Ran home on a nice afternoon. Temps in the low 70's and a nice breeze with it. Overall a nice day. Avg pace for the day of running @ 8:05. Tried a little faster cadence on the way to work and noticed that I was a bit quicker with not as much effort. Have to remember how it feels. With my polar gadget, I was at 96 strides per minute. Seemed to work for me today.

Rough run today. I'm finished, fried, pooped!

Better day than yesterday, but not much. Must be going thru a downer or something. Legs felt better than they did yesterday. Avg pace ....... not going to say.
