Fire roads - 1:15

Ran to the "waterfall" (not much water flowing there right now) and added 15 minutes on another road before getting turned away by private property. Super super hot this afternoon and I really suffered. Would have been wiser to run earlier in the Alturas Lake/Stanley area.

Greenbelt - 35+

Ran with Mat and the local Hash House Harriers. Not really my style, but not as wild as I anticipated. The pace was varied, but generally we ran pretty quickly the last half. Hot and humid out tonight.

Canal banks + treadmill - 1:04

Did 23 minutes on the canals, then the rest on the treadmill. All pretty easy, except for 2 x 3 min pickups on the treadmill when I first got on there.

Also, 6+ miles of biking to Ivy Wild Park and 20 minutes of weights and core.

Treadmill - 1:00

Nica was asleep so I couldn't go outside, so I did a jog on the treadmill. It was actually good because my achilles was a little sore and it made it easy to watch a movie and run as slowly as possible. It's hard to do that outside sometimes.

Neighborhoods + treadmill - 31:00

Pretty easy pace, mostly on the treadmill. Did 6 x 30 second pickups for some leg turnover.

Greenbelt - 1:42

Longest run since last October. Got out and 9 a.m. before it was too hot and handled the run well. I went upstream to Barber Park and back. The first hour was easy paced (7:40s) before a 5k pickup at 6:15/mile pace and then 20 minutes moderate. Legs felt pretty good, except for a sore achilles.

Got into a bit of poison ivy around Barber Park when I got off the dirt trail and onto a fishing trail. Hopefully won't be blistered up in a few days!

Also biked to St. Al's and back (4.5 - 5 miles) = 1.5 miles running
