Took the girls out in the double stroller for a few minutes, then did the rest of the run with Emily. Average pace of around 11:00/mile. Hadn't run with Emily for a long time! It was nice to get out on a really warm late afternoon.

Ran 35 minutes with Emily while pushing the girls in the double stroller. Then finished with 12 steady minutes (sub 7:00/mile) around the neighborhood. Super cold out, and going to be much colder.

Easy jog on the treadmill at home at 9 pm. Not feeling great, and everyone at work is sick too. Did a couple of easy pickups in the last five minutes.

Great run around the canals and the streets. Took it pretty easy for the most part, with a hard pickup from the Zub's house home.

Tamarack resort - 23+

In Tamarack for a few days. Took my first run in at least 10 days - have been down for the count with the flu or something. Great to be out running but coughed up a lot of nasty green stuff afterwards.

P.M. - Skate skiing 30+ minutes - Been a few years since I'd done this, but it was free so I flailed around a bit. Trails were icy and the snow was marginal. Super fun sport that I wish I could devote some more time to.

Tamarack - 32:00

Great morning run from the cabin. Ran a few laps on some x-country ski trails that had been groomed and packed down, but nobody's using them. I didn't sink down too much, and I had a great run. Lungs feeling a bit better today - not so much coughing - and I even managed a decent pace in the snow and ice at 5000'.

Same as yesterday on the x-country ski trails. Super morning to be outside, and was happy to average 7:45/mile on the snow and trails.

Treadmill - 30:35

Back to Boise today, and wasn't up to running in the inversion. As it was, my lungs suffered even on the treadmill. Decent run though, and did 5 x 30 second pickups in the last 10 minutes.

Canal banks + Borah campus - 33:08

Felt pretty good and averaged 7:42/mile. The canals were icy and slow, so I detoured and ran a couple of laps around Borah at about 7:15/mile pace.
