It's just that simple

Boise High track - 22+

Was going to run Hull's Gulch, but Spencer didn't show and my calves were too beat anyway. So I jogged really easy in the wind around Boise High's track.

Later - 20 minutes swimming/aqua jogging and 20 minutes weights

Run home from gym - 29:07

Did the ellyptical for 15 minutes, weights for 20, then a steady run home with some extensions. Calves are a lot better. So much better that I'll probably try to thrash them again on Thursday when we hit the track again (I'll just wear heavy trainers this time).

Canal Banks + Borah track - 35:25

After a crazy afternoon storm that cancelled our track meet, the weather improved so I took a nice run at 8 p.m. I did 10 x 100 strides in the middle of the run, mostly on the grass football field to loosen up my legs. They were not fast or pretty, but felt good anyway.

Neighborhoods + Borah track - 31:05

Really long day: work, track meet, hypnobirthing class, house cleaning = run at 10 p.m. I did some easy fartlek, a steady/hard mile (5:51) and 2 x 1:00 pickups at 5:20/mile pace. Felt pretty good all things considered.

South Cole canal banks - 1:06

Nice evening run on the Cole canals. Probably trespassed a bit but I like running on those canals. Just got in a nice steady pace and averaged 7:22/mile overall. Psychologically, running over an hour seems so long right now. Hopefully that will change soon.

Greenbelt - 1:12

Dodged the rain storms by running at 7 p.m. It was actually a great evening out. I started at the DoubleTree and did an easy 5 miles at 7:35/mile pace. On the way back, I did 5-4-3-2-1 minute fartlek with equal time recoveries, working down from 6:15 pace to 5:37 pace (5:57 overall for the pickups). Handled it pretty well and felt great when I was done.
