Middle Fork Rd - 30:06

Ran right before it got dark. Did a mile in 6:07 toward the middle of the run, and a hard last minute or two up Valley High Rd to the cabin. Nice evening out.

Greenbelt - 55:04

Had some time this morning so I did a steady state run on the greenbelt, starting from Crescent Rim. The 4 uptempo miles were at a 6:12/mile average, right what I was shooting for.

Later did a mile with Nica in the stroller.

2 mile wo; 4 x 1 mile; 2 mile wd

Started the run right at twilight from the Rosehill house and headed down to the greenbelt. The plan was 2 x 2 miles at 5:45/mile pace, but I bailed when it looked like that probably wasn't going to happen. I ended up with 4 x 1 mile at 5:51, 57, 52, 53 with 0.2 mile jogs (about 1:50).

Not a super workout, and initially I was annoyed for bailing on the 2 x 2m, but I realized it doesn't really matter. Just getting in runs and finishing workouts are the focus right now.

Fire roads to Warm Springs Rd. - 1:33

Long run from the cabin - basically the same loop I did with Karl last year. Tried to keep it slow on the uphill section, but even doing that, I was maxed out at the end. Great run, though.

About an hour later, I jogged another 10 minutes with Nica in the stroller and walked about 30 more. Finished with a nice cold dip in the South Fork of the Payette.

Treadmill - 26:15

Legs are dead from yesterday's hilly trail run! I literally shuffled along for a short run before calling it good as a recovery day.
