Canal banks - 31:21

A bit cooler today with big winds, but still a fairly nice spring day. This run did not feel easy, despite a slow pace. Did a couple of 400s at Borah track.

Weights and core - 20 minutes easy at home

Borah track - 1:20

40 laps on the big 4-0. 

It was a nice morning - cool and a few drops of rain - but I was excited to this. Emily ran the first hour at the track and we did a few miles together. Nice when she can average 9 min miles and run with me. Quads got a bit tired at about mile 8 but I generally just enjoyed my time out there on the track. Dodged around the Special Olympics track practice, but it was inspiring if nothing else.

Later in the morning did 40 pushups.
