Greenbelt - 45:58

Progression run on the greenbelt right after a big rain storm. Huge rainbow was a nice backdrop for the first 3 miles. Miles of 8:05, 7:40, 7:24, 6:54, 6:31 and 6:32. Last mile got tough but I'm glad I finished it. Getting stronger.

Uneventful run - hot at 11 a.m. Right calf sore two days after doing a longer run. Will have to watch that.

Hillcrest Loop - 1:01

Long run (for me right now) at 7:30 a.m. Just tried to make it an hour going as slowly as I needed for everything to feel OK and not fall apart. Did a 0.25 mile pickup at the end of the run to turn over the legs. Felt pretty good, but right calf, knee and hamstring were all a little bit "off."

Middle Fork Rd + Garden Valley trail - 51:50

Ran 13 minutes on the road to get the car, then did 8 laps of the Garden Valley fitness trail. Slow trail with thick gravel and a good hill. The loop is about .6 miles. Progressed each lap and finished at about 6:45/mile pace. Good effort.
