Run from downtown home - NT (between 40 and 45 min)
Saw a show at the Neurolux. Smartly I wore some running shoes and ran home at about midnight. Didn't throw up; that was a plus.
Walked a couple of miles earlier in the day with Nica and Leo. | |

A.M. - Biked 20 miles with Peter on Cartright-Hidden Springs-Seamans Gulch-Hill Rd. loop. Went really slow mostly, and stopped in Hidden Springs for breakfast at the Merc. Very yuppie.
P.M. - 15 min Ellyptical and 25 minutes weights. | |

Treadmill + weights - 38+
I call this my "Mens Health and Fitness" workout. I alternated running a few minutes with lifting in between (roughly 5 min. of each at a time). Not the greatest running workout but something different I guess. | |

Biked 10 miles - South and back and then in the neighborhoods. Right at twilight. I'm not a great biker but like to do it once in a while.
Also walked about 2 miles. | |

Didn't feel very good today so I ran easy on the treadmill at Gold's, with the exception of 3 x half mile pickups at 5:34 mile pace. Those felt pretty good because I took a lot of recovery between. | |

5 Mile Gulch to Watchmen Trail to Curlew Connector - 1:55
Mat and I bit off a bit more than we could chew today. We planned to do a 10 mile loop, but got on the wrong trail and ended up on some steep up and downs really far out of the way. It turned into an epic run, and we both blew up bad. We survived because the weather was cool and the clouds were beautiful and provided good coverage. Coupled with the 3 days of intense rain, the trails were soft and dust free. These are hands down the best trails in the Boise foothills system. | |

Canal banks + neighborhoods - 31:55
Super easy 4 miler. Tired and unmotivated, so I started out at a shuffle and just gradually picked it up a little. Quads still a bit sore from Saturday's adventure run. |

2.5 mile wo; 8 x Phillippi hills; 1.5 mile wd
Ran with the Borah guys. Hot out today, and my lack of fitness was apparent. I would be struggling to be a varisty high schooler right now. Glad I worked out with them though.

Hillcrest Loop - 53+
Ran with Mat at 7:30 a.m. We jogged an easy mile with Leo to the canals and back, then did the Hillcrest loop. From Cassia home, the pace was steady. Nice to run in the morning before the heat. | |

Did a little progression run tonight. Lots of lifting and too much eating this weekend (helping mom and dad move into their new house) so I just wanted it to be easy and finish brisk. Splits were: 7:49, 7:09, 6:30 and 5:45 with a short cooldown. That last fast mile didn't seem too hard, which was nice. | |

XC Practice at South
Ran with the team. Did a timed mile in 6:45 (that was our top runner). Usually we have a couple in the 5's and some girls in the 6's. Could be a long year. |

Ran with Mat from the DoubleTree downstream. Did as much as possible on dirt. Pace was about 7:15-7:20 except for the last cooldown stretch with Emily and Nica (in the stroller). Hot out this afternoon; glad we had some shade. | |
