Dry Creek - 43:25
Ran with Mat. We started a bit after 9 p.m. so we obviously couldn't go too far. (Dinner at the Golden Star set the run time back a little. But so worth it). We had a good run, but it is now being grazed so it wasn't as nice as last time I did it. We ran pretty easy on the way up but hammered at parts on the way down - partly to make it back to the car before dark. |

A.M. - Run to Borah and back+ - 37:04
Got to Borah's practice a few minutes after they left, so I ran out and met a few of them for a little while on their way back, and then finished up with a few minutes on my own.
P.M. - Canal banks + Borah track - 30:56
Another pretty easy run. Started at 9:45, so much of it was in the dark. |

Canal Banks to Boise Bench - 1:02
Ran a little before noon, so it was warm. Too much coffee this morning and my stomach was a little upset. I did a 17 minute warmup, then a 5 mile steady run focusing on staying relaxed. The splits were 6:30, 6:22, 6:12, 6:10 and 5:53. It took a long time to feel comfortable (at least half way through). I think to do a good tempo run I need to warmup, stretch, do strides and then start it. But for today, it was a good effort at about 6:14/mile pace. Cooldown on the canals back home.

A.M. - Neighborhoods - 22:00
Misc. running around with Nica in the stroller. Stopped at the playground to go down the slide a few times.
P.M. - Canal banks + neighborhoods - 41:38
Not feeling that great and unmotivated, but put in a few miles anyway. I did 8 x 20 sec pickups during the middle of the run and that seemed to help a little bit. |

2 mile wo; 2.5 mile - 2 mile - 1 mile; 1.5 mile wd
Felt pretty good about this one. Hot at 5 pm (95 degrees) but I was able to get a lot of shade on the greenbelt. I like this workout and will add onto it as I get further into the training. Times were:
2.5 miles - 15:10 (6:04/mile) - jog 3:30
2 miles - 11:50 (5:55/mile) - jog 2:30
1 mile - 5:38
It felt easy until the last mile when I pushed the pace down a bit. |

Hillcrest Loop+ - 1:28
Solid longer run this morning. Route took me to Hillcrest, Owyhee, South, Ann Morrison Park, Albertson Park and back home up Emerald.
Averaged 7:18/mile after a couple of slow miles to warm up. Great morning out, and I beat the heat. |
