It's just that simple

Terrace Lakes loop - 44:32

Took McBride Creek to Holiday Dr. into Terrace Lakes, and extended it up Warm Springs for a few minutes. On the way back, I did 2 miles quicker (6:15 & 5:51) to get a bit of a workout in. Finished with a mile easy back on the roads and up to the cabin.

Anderson Creek Rd. - 54:22

One of the best runs I've had in a long time. Started at the junction of Anderson Creek and Little Anderson Creek, and headed up the road for a 2.2 mile climb. Then the road drops back down to the creek and levels out. On the way back down, I hammered a few quicker miles at 5:47 and 5:59. Nobody on the roads this morning. Beautiful scenery, and the rain and snow has made everything green and the roads nice and soft (but not muddy).

Canal banks - 33:11

Pretty tired this evening so I kept it short and easy. Just enjoyed the run and tried to stretch out my legs a bit.

Hulls Gulch - 1:02

Got a late start this evening and had to battle the darkness at the end. Great run in the lower foothills. Started at Boise High and took Red Fox trail up to the gulch, ran up to the WCO rock, and came back on Owl's Roost trail. Finished up with 3-2-1 minute pickups at about 5:40/mile pace during the last mile or so.

Dry Creek - 1:14

What a great trail to run on. I can't believe I've lived in Boise 9 years and never been on it, especially having driven past it several times. For the record, Dry Creek is not dry right now. There were several crossings and I finally just conceded I'd have wet feet and went right through. By the time I turned around at mile 4.5 and 4400' elevation, it was looking like a scene from the Pacific Northwest, not the deserty Southwestern Idaho. Can't wait to get back on this one...
