It's just that simple

Military Reserve - 44:55

Slow pace with Mat and Trevor on a really nice afternoon. Trails a bit too muddy to be running on so I'll probably stay off them for a while now. 

Greenbelt - 34:30

Progression run with miles of 6:31, 6:07, 5:58, 5:47 and 2:50. Short warmup and warmdown as I only had 35 minutes. Made the best of it with a pretty good run. 

Canal banks + track - 42:35

Canals a bit too muddy with the recent rain and warmer weather. After 18 muddy minutes, I went to the Borah track and did some drills and then an 800m (2:41) of 50m fast/50m float. Just working on a little leg speed this evening.

20 minutes ellyptical; 3 x 2:00, 8 x 1:00; 10 minutes ellyptical

Workout at the gym this evening. Got in some running on the ellyptical for a warmup and warmdown and then did some easy speed work on the treadmill. 3 x 2:00 at 6:18/mile and 8 x 1:00 at 5:30/mile, all with recoveries of 1 minute at 8:00/mile pace. Not a hard workout but got the legs moving a bit of a faster pace. 

Borah park - NT

Pushed Nica in the stroller. Didn't get out for a second run as planned - super tired! 

Alder Creek Rd. - 1:38

Really nice hilly run on a great afternoon. Started at the Alder Creek Bridge, and climbed from 3100' to 4400' over 6+ miles on a snowy/icy surface. Was pretty happy with my fitness to average 8:15/mile on the uphill climb on less than ideal footing. The way down was a nice cruise, although I had to really keep it in control so I wouldn't fall down. When the snow is gone this spring, I'll have to connect this road to Wash Creek for a big loop.
