Cottonwood Creek - 49:14
Stopped to run here on the drive up to Twin Springs. About 20 minutes on the singletrack trail and the rest on the forest service road. Really nice area and a good day to run. Did 3 x 2:00 pickups on the way down. |

Hulls Gulch - 39:35
I ran while Emily and Nica climbed the big hill. I felt absolutely horrible on this run. My lungs hurt and I feel sick again - it's been literally three straight months of being sick in some form. It's getting old. |

At 10 p.m. Kind of a dumb move running that late, but oh well. Kept it pretty slow with the exception of 3 x 1:00 pickups at 6:00/mile pace. |

Greenbelt - 1:04
Started from the post office and went upstream and back. Water is over the greenbelt in several places, so I had to take some detours. Warm, beautiful day out today. It was good to get out. On the way back I did 6 x 2:00 pickups at about 6:00/mile pace. | |

Ran at home on the treadmill instead of in a rainstorm. Did 4 x 3:00 and 3 x 30 second pickups during the run. Felt pretty good. |

Slow pace in the dark. Kind of chilly this evening so I was bundled up and just jogging along. Did an 800m pickup near the end in 2:56. |

Middle Fork Rd -1:16
Wanted to run trails on this beautiful day, but knew I was not in that kind of shape yet. So I opted for a run from Tie Creek Campground upstream and back. Relatively flat (gained 300' in 5+ miles), scenic, and very little traffic. This one was tough, but I'm glad I got out and did it. |

Greenbelt - 35:46
With Emily and Nica. I did most of it pusing Nica at my own pace (7:30-7:40 pace; not bad for a stroller). Nice afternoon outside. Lots of people out enjoying it. |

| Treadmill - 20:42 Trying to get into the habit of running every day. I've done 12 in a row now. Wanted to bag it at 9 p.m., but did a short jog on the treadmill instead. Moral victory. |

Run to Frank Church HS/South Cole canals - 1:02
Nice run in the evening. Had to pick up my car, and added several miles on the canals. The last 3 miles I did the 20 min fartlek, which went well. Pace wasn't fast, but the footing is rocky and it was getting dark, so I can't complain. |

Treadmill at Gold's - 39:30
Late night run on the treadmill. Did 3.5 miles at an average of 6:25/mile, so a decent up-tempo workout. Need more of this type of run (but not on a treadmill at 10 pm). |

Hull's Gulch - 1:20
Pretty good longer run from North Junior High. Did the full Hull's loop, then added some in the neighborhoods. Great to be on the trails, but I don't think I would have made it much longer. An hour-twenty is about my max right now. |
