Greenbelt - 56:35

Steady miles on the greenbelt from the Doubletree upstream and back. Looped over the orange bridge to come back past Bronco Stadium. Felt like a pretty hard effort, but I haven't been doing much running the last few weeks.

Great warm evening. Ran pretty easy around Bishop Kelly watching part of a track meet. It definitely feels like spring and track season right now. I miss those days - competing and coaching.

Anderson Creek Rd. - 35:17

Great run up Anderson Creek. Ran back and forth to check on Nica and Emily. Last few minutes the rain started coming down hard so I had to pick up the pace to get back to the car.

A.M. - 45 minute walk pushing Nica in the stroller. Valley High loop (2 miles) 

P.M. - Scriver Creek - 42:13

Tough run today! I forgot that Scriver Creek is a snowmobile trail in the winter, and so it hadn't been plowed. So my run was in snow/slush/ice and definitely challenging. The creek was rushing and it was a gorgeous day so I just enjoyed the workout. Gained about 500' in the 2.5 miles out.

Biked 25 minutes (equal to 1.5 miles running) on mtn bike. Getting used to the single speed and clips/shoes. When trails dry up a little, I'll get out on them.

Ran to Zub's house and back (less than a mile)

Ran at 8 p.m. A little windy but nice temps. Did 6 x 200m at the BK track during the run just for kicks (39, 38, 37, 36, 35, 34). Those actually felt pretty good.
