Borah track - 39:37

Legs felt horrible when I started, but good by the run's end. That's the beauty of an easy run with some drills and leg speed work thrown in. Did 4 x 100m strides at the track, 4 x 10 second Borah hills hard and 2 x 20 second strides on the way home.

Ellyptical + treadmill - 56:20

Decent workout at Axiom. Did 26 minutes on the ellyptical (getting a bit faster on this as I practice a little more) and 30 minutes on the treadmill with some incline (gained 200+ feet) and decline work.

I will try to get in an ellyptical run every week this winter to mix things up and also to feel like I'm utilizing my gym membership.

A.M. - Run to work - 20:06

Not a bad pace for 6:30 a.m.

P.M. - Canals + run home - 39:28

Tired this afternoon and didn't have a whole lot of extra time. Did a fartlek of 5-4-3-2-1 minutes with recoveries equal to the next interval. Hard effort, but doubt I was actually running that fast.

Good morning run, but nothing the rest of the day. Got a ride home. Horrible day all the way around.

Treadmill - 1:00

Had a hard time getting motivated this evening. Did 45 minutes slow and easy, then changed shoes and did 6 x 1:00 on/1:00 off at the end. Glad to have gotten something in.

A.M. - Neighborhoods + canal banks - 1:17

Out the door by 6:45 a.m. Started out super slow and picked it up a little bit as the run went on. Lots of loops in the neighborhood and a few miles on the canals.

Feel horrible post run. Lungs hurt and my cough is pretty bad too. Need some sleep.

P.M. - Roads in Gooding - 21:21

Watched the Oly Trials marathon and just felt like I needed to go run. Ran from Joey and Kristen's house and just put in 3+ miles at a uptempo pace.
