Grizzly Tuesday

View of Pullman (and you thought it was paradise)


It was nice to have a couple days off because today I felt good. It's getting Pullman hot (anything over 75) and I absolutely love being in the sun. Give me hot sun over cold gray any day of the year. Let's see what I'm saying toward the beginning of August... :)

Sadie and I did a mostly asphalt loop that sent us by the university's Bear Research, Conservation, and Education Center. There were three grizzly cubs running around the pen. I took a photo with my cell phone but it didn't turn out. Then we ran by the Cattle Research Center where the most notible thing was the stench. Dinner anyone? Home and back: 7 miles.

A fellow blogger directed me to marathontraining.com. There seems to be pretty good information for first time marathoners. I think I may be getting to the point where I need to structure my training a little bit more instead of just running what I feel like when I feel like. I suppose I need more of a plan than just "Hey, I'm going to run a marathon in October. Yippee!"

Keep running!

  1. Glad you liked the training plan! Remember to adapt it as needed.

    And Pullman is way too hot for me - and probably too cold in the winter. I do like sunny days though...
