Canal banks - 38:18

Legs felt dead on this run. I did 3 x 15 second hills and 3 x 20 second pickups on the flats to try to snap out of it, but it just made me more fatigued. Yesterday's trails were probably a shock to my system.

Treadmill - 20:42

Easy jog at 10 pm. Wore my new Sauconys, which are a little bulkier than I probably need. They are cushioned and feel really stable. Definitely not minimalist.

Canal banks - 38:05

Ran at 9 p.m. so I finished in the dark. Breezy and brisk, but a nice evening to be out. Kept the pace pretty easy again.

Ann Morrison Park+ - 59:05

Ran 20 minutes really slowly in the park with Emily while pushing Nica in the stroller. Then started home and did 13 minutes a little quicker followed by a 20 minute up tempo run and a short cooldown.

Can't say I felt great, but it was good to be out on a warm day. The tempo was probably at about 6:15/mile pace.

Greenbelt - 54:34

Started at the Orchard St. access and went downstream and back. Averaged around 7:30/mile for the first 30 minutes, then did a 5:00-4:00-3:00 of pickups. Felt ok.

PMI: Warm Springs to McBride Creek - 1:08

I finally found a double track road I've been looking for since last spring. I took it slow up past the golf course and to the junction of a forest service road, then went left and made my way down into McBride Creek. Hopefully I'll be able to find it again next time. This will be a great hour long run when I'm fit. Right now it was awesome, but I struggled greatly on the uphill and had to power walk for 2 minutes.

 PMII: South Fork Rd - 37+

Pushed Nica in the stroller and ran with Emily. This was a bit more than I bargained for time wise, but at least the pace was slow. Great spring afternoon out!
