Running path in Renton - 33+

Jogged really easy in the morning with Emily and Nica. There was a nice system of paths and trails right from the hotel so we had a nice family stroll. Legs are fairly destroyed, but they have felt much worse after races.

P.M. - Biked 25 minutes easy/steady on the road bike after flying back to Boise (= 2 miles running).

Boise bench + greenbelt - 45:31

Ran 27 minutes to Jon's house, then drove down to the greenbelt and jogged with Nica and Emily for a bit under 2 miles. On the first part of the run, I did 6 x 1:00 easy pickups (just under 6:00/mile) and 3 x 20 sec harder pickups. Legs feeling pretty good.

A.M. - Canal banks - 27+

Started solo but ran into Borah's team on an early morning run. Ran withTim and Christian D. for a while, then headed back home. Overall pace of 7:44/mile.

Later, I got a massage. This was my first "sports massage" and it really hurt. The therapeutic/relaxation massages are a lot more fun, but probably don't do as much good. The lady just laid into my legs.

P.M. - 2 mile wo; 8 x 200; 1.5 mile wd

At the Borah track. I'll try this workout once a week for about the next 8 weeks to work on a little bit of leg turnover. Averaged 36.5 with recovery jogs in about 1:05-1:10. Super slow times, but the effort was there.
