Boise Bench loop - 1:03

Ran pretty easy this afternoon. Took the canals to Cassia Park, around South Jr. High and back home on Kootenai and through Cassia and the canals again. Legs felt a little dead, but it was a solid run.

Ran at the Bishop Kelly track. Nice afternoon, but pretty breezy. 200's were in 38 with a 200 jog. They felt pretty easy, which means my speed is coming along, albeit very slowly.

Ran with Emily and pushed the girls in the stroller for 33 minutes (3.1 miles) then did 22 minutes steady (3.1 miles) on the canals at around 7:15/mile. Felt pretty good and legs were fresh.

West Bench Canal Banks - 52:05

Ran to the canal banks and did about 20 minutes there until Emily picked me up to go to G.V. Felt pretty decent. Nice warm afternoon.

2 mile warmup; 3 x mile, 3 x half mile; 2.5 mile warmdown

Ran from the cabin along the Middle Fork Rd. upstream and back. Did some tempo intervals but struggled quite a bit. This is more of a workout to be done on the greenbelt or track, as the hills kind of threw my pace and effort off. Regardless, I got through it and averaged about 6:20/mile on the tempo segments with recoveries under 2:00. Total running time for the 10 miles was 1:11 (7:12/mile average).
