It's just that simple

Fire roads - 40:35

Out and back on my new favorite run in Garden Valley. I made it to about 3900' before turning around. I didn't have a lot of time this evening and my legs were a little beat from yesterday anyway. Gorgeous evening.

Middle Fork Rd + Terrace Lakes - 46:31

I ran with Emily and pushed Nica in the stroller for 29 minutes (hard workout with a cheap stroller). When we got back to the cabin, I ran at a steady pace to the Terrace Lakes pool and met Emily and Nica there for a swim. Did a few 30 second pickups in the last few miles.

Fire roads - 1:04

Did an out and back on the fire roads. Ran a few minutes past the waterfall and then back to the cabin. Out in 34 minutes, back in 25. I was flying down the hill the last mile. Cooled down 5 minutes with Leo and Emily around the cabin.

Treadmill - 39:05

Long day today. Up at 5:30 a.m. to drive back to Boise. Dental work from 8 - 11 a.m. Work until 3:00, followed by errands, mowing the lawn, and dinner. Got on the treadmill at 10 p.m. and I'm glad I at least did that. Kept it all easy except for 2 half mile pickups near the end of the run.

2 mile wo; 4 x 2k; 2 mile wd

Ran my 2nd LT workout this evening. Last week's was 4 x 1 mile, so the plan was to bump it up a bit. Had to finish watching game 7 of the NBA finals so didn't get out until almost 10 p.m. Ran to the Borah track and did 2k repeats with a 400m jog for recovery. Times were 7:38, 39, 39, 35. Works out to about 6:05/mile, which was fine for tonight. Kept it under control and didn't push too hard. Cool down to South to pick up my car.

A.M. - Tripod Reservoir - 40:03

On the drive up to Cascade, I stopped at Smith's Ferry and took a fun up a forest service road (big snowmobiling area in the winter). I gained about 700' elevation in a bit over 2 miles. I ended up at Tripod Reservoir and took finished up the loop down a larger, more traveled gravel road. Just a nice way to break up the drive and see some new scenery.

P.M. - Trinity Pines trails - 41:15

At 9 pm. after the leadership conference, I took another run. I was skeptical that the "walking trails" would be cheesy and go about 100 yards, but I was actually able to piece together a very hilly run by doing various loops on the trails. Again, great to get out and run trails in such a scenic area.

A.M. - Cabarton Road - 29:47

Ran from Trinity Pines out and back on Cabarton Road. It was a nice morning, but I had a horrible night's sleep (snoring bunk mate) and woke up kind of dehydrated and with a funky feeling stomach. My legs were pretty cashed too. I wanted to get in a long run before breakfast but this had to do.

P.M. - Canal banks - 29:44

Easy run at 10 p.m. Uneventful, but that's ok.
