A.M. -- Canal Banks + neighborhoods -- 33:53

The wind and snow made it tough to run on the canals, but I was able to pick up the pace a little bit on the roads. Wore the Garmin again; kind of interesting to get accurate feedback on the run. My canal route is a little shorter than I have always estimated, but the neighborhood loop is about what I thought.

P.M. -- Treadmill - 25:12

Didn't feel like going outside so I hit the treadmill for a short run. Did 6 x 1min pickups at goal marathon pace during the run. Felt pretty good.

Weights, stretching and core - 20 minutes

1.5 mile wo, leg speed/hill workout, 1 mile wd

I wanted to get my legs turning over a little bit and to work on some neuromuscular coordination and efficiency. One of my goals for the next few months is to get in 1-2 miles worth of leg speed/strides/hill repeats each week. It was cold, sunny afternoon and I actually enjoyed running a little quicker than usual.

The workout was 2 sets of: 4x100 strides with 300 jog and 4 x 20-25 sec hill repeats. I took a couple of minutes of jogging between the sets.

Greenbelt - 1:56

Ran the Garden City/Eagle path out and back at about 7:10-7:15 pace, then did the last 6 miles a bit quicker, including 4 x half mile pickups in about 3:05 during the last 4 miles. Felt pretty strong today. The day off yesterday probably contributed to me feeling a bit more fresh today.

PMI: Rocky Canyon Rd to Military Reserve -- 57:06

Great run today up the first 3.5 miles of the Robie Creek course. I took the Curlew Ridge trail down to the Military Reserve and had some great views of downtown Boise. I was able to run hard on the road, but the trails were snowy and icy, so I had to take it easy in places.

PMII: Bishop Kelly track - 12:43

After lifting weights for 25 minutes, I stopped on the way home and ran for 1.5 miles super easy with Leo since I hadn't gotten him out for a run in a while. Very windy, and is supposed to be worse tomorrow.

PMI: Treadmill at home - 30:04

Started out really easy and picked it up a little as I went along. Did 6 x 30 second pickups at LT pace the last 2 miles

PMII: Bishop Kelly Campus - 28:37

Went out in the wind and found that the warm weather had melted all the snow and ice on the canals and that it was a mess of mud. I opted for a slog in the soggy grass and bark trails around BK instead. Felt ok.

3.5 mile wo, 4 x 1.5 mile LT repeats, 2 mile wd

Did this workout on the greenbelt. Averaged 8:57 (5:58 pace) for the 1.5 mile segments with recovery jogs of 2:05-2:10. Was definitely working hard, but recovered as soon as I was done and jumped right into the warmdown.
