Boise, Garden City, Eagle, ID 7:00 am Pace: 8:31 Not a bad long run on a beautiful Saturday morning. I tried to keep it steady, under 8:30. I held that pace until mile 11 when I started to fade into the 8:30s and 8:40s then gave it a final push to 8:12 in the final mile. I ran from home down to the Greenbelt, along the river to Eagle and up Eagle Road. At Chinden, I had planned on cutting across towards Cloverdale and down through the neighborhoods I run on my MWF runs, but when I got to the Stinker station at Chinden I was already past 12 miles and only planned on going 15. So, since the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, I just kept running down Eagle towards home. It really wasn't too bad. It is a busy street, but has wide sholders and sidewalks. iPod song of the day: "Take Me To The River" -- The Talking Heads
