Canal banks + neighborhoods - 30:05

10 p.m. and unmotivated. Got out and ran anyway. Brooks are dead and officially retired. May as well have been running in rubber tires lashed onto to my legs with rope.

A.M. - Borah + neighborhoods - 28:56

Pushed Nica in the stroller. Ran down to Borah to see how the high school kids were doing, but they had already left on their run. Talked with Tim for a bit then looped over to Phillippi and ran home. Nica was good and didn't fuss at all.

P.M. - Greenbelt - 1:02

It was hot this afternoon, but I had a good run. I did 30 minutes at around 7:00/mile pace and then picked it up for the next 20 minutes at around 6:10/mile pace, which felt really good.

A.M. - Neighborhoods - 20:27

With Nica in the stroller. Tired - horrible night of sleep last night. Had that sweaty feeling of sleep deprivation on the run this morning.

P.M. - Canal banks + neighborhoods - 40:31

Rainy and stormy out earlier, but when I ran at 9:30, I was treated to an amazing red sunset. Took the first 4 miles easy at 7:30/mile pace on the canals, then put on my new Asics and did a neighborhood loop with some 20-25 second pickups in the 5:15/mile range. I like the new DS-trainers and think they'll be a good workout/marathon shoe.

Middle Fork Rd - 1:01

This evening I did a 4.5 mile progession run out from the cabin, and a fartlek on the way back. The progression miles were 7:08, 6:40, 6:19, 6:12 and 3:05 (half mile). I ran an easy mile in 7:24, then did 4 x 2:00 pickups at around 5:50/mile pace. I didn't feel smooth on this workout, but I got through it.

Wash Creek - 1:00

Great place to run. Started at the trailhead (forest service road) but could have run from Alder Creek Bridge for a flat mile warmup. Climbed a little over 700 feet in 4 miles and ran very easy and under control, and still averaged 8:00/mile. My achilles was sore from yesterday so I took it easy on the way down and just enjoyed the nice scenery and the great evening.

Treadmill - 1:01

Easy jog on the treadmill. Was worried about my achilles so I kept it super, super slow with just a few pickups at 6:20 pace to stretch my legs out.

Easy pace. Pushed Nica in the stroller at 8 a.m.

From Mom and Dad's house to the Moore's, with some time on the trails at CSI. Nice tempo run. 6:41, 6:14, 6:12, 5:59 and 3:04 (half mile) then a short cool down. Just making the most fo the time I had.
