run, run, run

Boise, ID 6:30 am

Regular MWF route. Didn't really push it, but kept a decent pace. It was kind of chilly this morning, but better than hot.

Last week I got lost in Boston. No shame there, everyone gets lost in Boston. Today I got lost in my hometown. I parked at the Alberson's on Gage Blvd and ran down Keene Rd. to Badger Mtn. I ran up the trail to the top of the mountain. It was tough one. I was spent by the time I got to the top. So, on the way down I decided to take a short-cut. The short-cut added about 4 miles to the run. I had to cut through an orchard and around another hill, a long ways out of my way. Some days you get a quality workout in whether you wanted to or not.

I ran through the old hood this morning. It was kind of weird going past the old house. It looks pretty much the same as it did back in the day. Maybe a bit more run-down. Knowing some of what went on inside some of the houses on that street -- if those walls could talk. I also ran by the high school, something I don't think I ever did when I was actually in high school.

I didn't run yesterday. I was wiped out from Tuesday night's run and didn't have time in the afternoon/evening. But the kids wanted to hike up Badger Mountain, so I did that again. Walking this time and no short-cuts.

A good run to start the day. I went up Cloverdale to Overland then across to Maple Grove. Nice weather. I think summer is finally here.
