| | Meridian, ID Noon Pace: 8:26 I decided it was time to try some speedwork and can I just tell you that it kicked my butt. I went to the undeveloped end of my subdivision and started out with an easy 1/4 mile then a hard 1/4 then easy, then hard and so forth. I set my iPod for a five mile workout, so I would get in 10 hard quarters. I only made it thorough half of them. Then I did another easy two miles to finish up. I'm going to plan on doing speedwork two days a week. Probably Tuesday and Thursday and use MWF to keep my mileage up.

Meridian, ID 11:30am Pace: 8:49 The warmest day so far this year. It was 55 when I left, but windy. Going down Ustick to Linder I had the wind in my face. Kind of rough, but coming back down Pine St. it was nice with the wind pushing me along. My glutes were a little sore from the speedwork I did yesterday. I signed up for the Rock n Roll Seattle Marathon today and also ordered a new pair of shoes. Then I reminded my wife again that running is still cheaper than golf.

| | Boise, ID 11:45am Pace: 8:39 It was a nice day today, but I wished I had worn my gloves. But I'm not complaining because next week I'll be back up in the great white north running in the early mornings. Felt good throughout the run. A little fatigued. Arm and shoulder muscles were sore because I decided to start lifting again the other day. At about 9.5 miles into it I had a chicken race with a street cleaner. It was one of those spots where you just can't get off the road, so I had to go past it much closer than I would have liked. I thought I was going to puke. But I didn't.

| | Boise, ID 8:30am Pace: 8:51 Kind of cold this morning. I had to go early and, of course, this was the coldest morning of the week -- about 24 when I left. Kind of just plodding along to get my miles in this morning. Had a tough week with changing up my workouts and adding some weight lifting. I'm ready to take the weekend off.
