Canal banks + Phillippi hill - 43:35

Ran over to Phillippi hill and did 6 x 15 second hills and 6 x 15 second hard on the flats. Finished up with a 14 minute steady run home. Felt pretty decent this evening.

Canal banks + Borah track - 46:03

Felt pretty tired on this run. Took the canals down to the track, where I did mostly easy distance except for quite a few speed drills and a few accelerations on the straightaways. Felt a bit better by the end of the run.

Weights, core and stretching: 20 min

A.M. - Neighborhoods - 36:16

Is it still a morning run if you start it at 11:30? I say yes. Anyway, I started relatively easy and finished at a sub -7 pace for an overall average of about 7:15/mile. Hot out today.

P.M. - Hillcrest loop - 44+

Did a 4 mile tempo run during the middle of the run. Nothing to write home (or blog home) about, but right at or just a bit better than what I set out to do. Miles of 6:14, 6:13, 6:17 and 6:00 (last stretch on canals, so that's a good pace for the rocky footing). I think those are not quite true "LT" pace, but close enough. Definitely faster than current marathon pace right now.

PMI: Fishhook Creek Trail - 38:16

Ran on a sweet trail from our cabin at Redfish Lake. Although the altitude was tough (6500'), I was hammering away pretty hard on this trail. Great 5 miler.

PMII: Hiked the same trail with Emily and Nica. We also walked around some paths at Redfish for about an hour, so we probably got 7 miles. I also ran an additional 12 minutes to go take some pictures at the end of the trail. Big day!

Fishhook Creek Trail - 39:10

Ran at 9 a.m. on the same trail as yesterday. My legs were beat from the big day yesterday and I wasn't feeling super due to a poor night of sleep. I would run this trail every day if I could: relatively flat, scenic, soft footing, etc.

Treadmill - 38:48

Wasn't up to braving the 100+ temps today, so I opted for an easy run on the treadmill with some fartlek the last half. Legs felt great; stomach....not so much. The Quinn's platter this morning with 2 chorizos could have been the culprit.
