Easy pre-work run around the neighborhood.

Lunchtime run. Did some fast(er) repetitions today. The course I typically run on is basically a 0.4 mile loop in the shape of a rectangle. I sped up on the long sides of the rectangle, which are only slightly longer than the short sides. Probably about .11-.12 miles each, so with recovery distances of .8-.9 miles each. It felt good to try something different out.

Easy pre-work run.

Lunchtime run. Feeling a little sore from yesterday. My body is no longer used to this!

Good run several times around the temple loop portion of the greenbelt this morning. I didn't feel like waiting for traffic to pass so I could cross Broadway. I wish there was some kind of pedestrian bypass over or under Broadway. The end of my middle toe is pretty swollen now a few hours later. It didn't hurt at all during my run and I haven't had any issues with it before now. Weird.

One hour running within the neighborhood. I think the neighborhood fireworks went up 10x this year since the local show (Melealeuca Freedom Festival) was cancelled. I am a real crank when it comes to fireworks being launched near my house... I was still excited to celebrate the 4th however!

Very breezy lunch time run. I planned on an easy run, but sped up a little to get in 3 miles.

Early morning run. I am finally able to get these in again, since my house isn't packed with visitors!

Easy lunch time run, and it felt great!

Easy morning run. I am having to get up earlier and earlier to make sure I get a seat on the bus.

Same as my fast run last week and it wasn't even planned. I felt much better doing it this time, and wasn't huffing at the end.

Solid 10 miles this morning. It was a moderate effort, but the focus was really on consistent good form and cadence.

Good long run that went farther and faster than planned. We were supposed to go hike Hell's Half Acre this morning too, but our visitors slept in...

Slightly longer morning run. Had a couple minutes extra. I guess I just woke up faster than usual.

Easy early morning run. 

What started as an easy lunch time run, until I saw a runner ahead of me at the end. The last 0.3 was fairly fast.

Long morning run. Basically a big square around Idaho Falls, with my house at one corner, and Sunnyside-Hitt on the opposite corner. Now I know about how far I'd need to walk to pick up food at Tandoori Oven :)

Easy hour before work. The bus schedules have changed now, so I may be able to start running about an hour AND catching the bus I want.

Easy lunch time run. I tried really hard to pay attention to my form during this run. Without pushing harder, I notice my pace improve significantly. It was a confidence-building experience.

I had a dentist appointment this morning, so I had some more time this early morning. I did the same run as on Saturday, but a little further. This is the longest I've gone since getting injured!

Ran in Twin Falls today. Tried to do rim to rim in the canyon. I went down the south rim, and then I spent a while unsuccessfully trying to find the bridge that crosses the river (it was still dark). I saw too many skunks, and probably ran on the golf course more than the owners would have liked. I actually felt really good during this run, even after tripping on a lip in the sidewalk, followed by a glorious dive and slide on the cement. Got and kept running relatively unharmed and grateful that nobody was there to hear me yell "Holy crap, stupid city!"

Easy 8 before work. My left leg is feeling a little gimpy today. Can't run quite as smoothly as I'd like. Just took it easy.

Easy lunchtime run at work. Basically felt the same as this morning. Lunges with knee raises afterwards felt VERY good!

Morning run before work. Cut it a little short because of increase discomfort in my quad/hip.

No lunchtime run. Raining and my hip and ankle are asking for a break.

Short easy run before work. Kept it short so as to not reaggravate anything, but I felt okay.

Lunchtime run. Everything felt pretty normal.
