Canyon Springs - 55:14

Ran on the Auger Falls trail at 8:30 a.m. while Karl biked. Great memories of this place, though the pace was easier because I wasn't running away from guys in trucks threatening to kick me off and cite me for trespassing. Dan, that comment was for you.

3 mile wo; 5k steady pace; 1.5 mile wd

Ran out of time for a longer threshold workout, so I set out for 20 minutes at 6:00/mile. I ended up feeling pretty good and decided to just do a 5k at a bit faster pace. Total time was 17:59 with splits of 5:54, 5:47 and 5:41 for the miles. Recovered quick, although I pushed a little bit the last mile. Not a bad effort for 10 p.m. in the dark.

PMI: Borah park and back - 11+

Pushed Nica in the stroller to the park and back and played in between. A glorious 1.5 mile run.

PMII: Upper Hulls Gulch - 59:44

Great twilight run on the upper trail. Took the trail to the waterfall, and at the upper parking lot opted to take the road (8th street extension) down because it was getting too dark to see. I will have to get back up here again at twilight again soon and take some pictures.

Canal banks + neighborhoods - 1:01

I ran a relaxed 38 minutes on the canals, then added 23 minutes around the neighborhoods with 6 x 1:00 pickups at 5:40-5:45/mile pace thrown in. I like the Asics DS-Trainers, but wonder if they are too heavy for a racing shoe at any distance. They felt kind of clunky tonight. Could have just been me though.

A.M. - Neighborhoods - 20:03

Easy morning run with Nica in the stroller. Felt pretty good.

Skipped my night-time run. I need the sleep and I went to dinner and ate too much. Dang.

Canal banks + Borah track - 43:31

Ran to Borah, then did a run on the canals with the Borah xc team, followed by a mile of ins and outs. I got dropped bad on the last 100m fast segment. It was pretty funny.

Middle Fork Rd + Scriver Creek -1:28

Needed a long run today. I didn't need one at 5 p.m. in the heat, but that's ok. The first few miles were hot and slow, but once I got up to Scriver Creek I felt a little better. Cooled down in the creek on the way down and had a nice negative split (46 min/42 min).

I definitely need to focus on some longer runs real soon here, because when 12 seems like a long one, that's not a good sign.
