Treadmill + canals - 30:05
Shuffled along for a little run today. I'd be lying to say I felt good, but at least I got out. Legs are sore everywhere. Last 10 minutes with Leo. | |

Kept it really easy today again. Legs hurting in fewer places, but I could still find 4 or 5 if I was inclined to complain...but really, any run is better than nothing. | |

Another easy 3 miles. After tomorrow, I think I'll be feeling up get somewhat back into the swing of things. Nice cool afternoon out.

A.M. - Canal banks + Borah track - 37:03
Ran pretty easy (7:20's - 7:30's) this morning. Legs coming around a little bit, but still not feeling smooth.
P.M. - BK soccer field - 32:22
Ran on the canals to BK, where I did some laps on the grass around the soccer field. Did about 8-10 minutes of it barefoot. It was a little hard in places, but probably good for my feet and ankles. | |

Neighborhoods - 25+
Ran part of it solo, part of it with Leo. All at a slow pace. Achilles was really sore and I could feel my shin, too. It's been a long week so I'm not all that concerned with running, but it isn't fun to run in pain.

Ran from the Train Depot at a decent pace. Hot out today. When I got back home, I did a half mile with Leo to the canals to wash him. | |

Run from Gernika to Bermeo - 1:06
Hilly - but very scenic - run from the apartment to Bermeo, a fishing town along the coast. Afterward he hit the beaches in Bakio. The run was tough, and it was also a little bit warm. My hips seemed to give me the most trouble. | |

Gernika River Path - 30+
Just ran at a shuffle today. My right hip and left achilles were really sore. Pace was about 8:30 - 9:00 I would guess. The travel last week and funky sleeping arrangements I think are to blame. | |

Beach in San Sebastian - 15+
I had the great idea of running barefoot back and forth along the beach, enjoying the world class scenery, but the great idea was halted when I formed a giant blister on my big toe. Went swimming in the ocean instead, and then walked around for a couple of hours later in the day. | |

Gernika River Path - 50:35
Along the path, and detoured up to a church about a mile away (up some steep hills). Did part of it solo and part with Emily. Very sweaty as today is the hottest it's been, and I ran at 1 p.m. Picked up the pace the last mile or two and that hurt a little. | |

Gernika River Path - 30:04
Slow run along the path at 10 a.m. Hot and humid already. Achilles really sore but the scenery was good so I just went with the flow. | |

Gernika River Path - 40:52
Had a nice evening run. Finished on the path and met Emily for a couple of mile walk with her dad and uncle. Great scenery. Got under 7 min/mile for a bit, which felt hard. I'm out of shape! | |

Gernika roads and river path - 30:06
Ran at 9 p.m. Started really slow as I was quite sore all over (lots of walking and also the bed I've been sleeping in?). Got some hills in and finished on the river path again. | |

A.M. - Canals + Borah track - 21:20
Early morning shakeout run. First run in 3 days. Feeling stiff and sore, but nice to get out and run.
20 minutes circuits/weights
P.M. - Polecat Gulch trail - 52:04
Ran on a new Ridge to Rivers trail with Mat. It's a pretty sweet trail with a lot of ups and downs and nice views. It is a bit of a drive to get to, but other than that, it is a fun one. Achilles really sore and I was really dehydrated (103 today). | |

Ran with Mat at about 9 a.m. We kept it relatively flat, but were both struggling a bit more than we should have for a 5 mile run. Getting hot already at 9 a.m. - will have to go earlier. | |
