No run. Family in town all day and then got wrapped up in a good book for 3 hours. Haven't had a day off in over 2 weeks, so no big deal.

A.M. - 2 mile warmup; 8 x 200m; 1.5 mile warmdown

Ran at the Bishop Kelly track. 200s averaged 34.8 with a 200 jog in about a minute. Felt super slow! Like an out of sync robotic runner.

P.M. - Treadmill - 30:00

Slow, easy jog to get in a few more miles.

Canal banks + treadmill - 31:04

Unfortunately not much time to run today. Also feeling a little under the weather. 21 minutes on the canals with 4 x 10 sec hard pickups, then 10 minutes on the treadmill steady with the incline up to 5%. Will need some good miles the next few days.

Canal banks + Borah track -1:03

Started the run a bit before 9 p.m. and it was a little chilly, but not too bad. Took the canals to the track, where I did some easy drills, jogging and strides. Then I did 6 x 500m in 1:56, 1:52, 1:50, 1:45, 1:41, 1:37 with 500m jogs in about 2:40. Pretty easy workout, and a good compromise on a night where I didn't really feel like running hard but also didn't like the idea of an hour easy in the dark.

Treadmill + Ellyptical - 1:00

Solid workout at Axiom Gym. Did 40 minutes on the treadmill, including some "hill" work (incline goes up and down, which is nice) then 20 minutes on the ellyptical. Got a pretty good sweat going and worked some different muscles.

A.M. - Treadmill - 20:22

Unmotivated and tired this morning, but managed an easy 20 minutes before work.

P.M. - Cole Rd. - 33+

Ran from home down Cole Rd where Emily picked me up. From there we headed to Garden Valley. Good pace on this run.

South Fork Rd. + Wash Creek - 1:46

Great longer run this morning. Started with 32 minutes with Emily and Nica on the frozen (bun runable thanks to some sand) South Fork Rd. Then I did 3 even more frozen - and very slick - hilly miles up Wash Creek before running a bit under 7 miles back to the cabin. The miles back to the cabin were on decent footing and I averaged right around 7:00 - 7:05/mile. Good run, but it wiped me out.
