Greenbelt - 1:00

Hopefully this type of run will be my standard easy day as I prepare to run PRs in the half marathon and marathon in the next year. Ran downstream and back from the Doubletree. Didn't do it by design, but cut down each mile (8:05, 7:48, 45, 40, 30, 21, 20, 18). Felt comfortable the whole way, except for the right achilles, which really bugged me most of the way.

Borah track - 42:14

Late night run. Kept it real easy and did some easy, non-ballistic drills during the middle of the run.

Run to St. Al's - 20+

Life is pretty busy lately. Ran at about 11 p.m. to retrieve my car. Too tired for anything else. Next run should be better.

West Bench Canal Banks - 1:01

Ran in my new Saucony Rides on some canal banks I'd never been on before, even though they are only a few miles from where I live. Given my propensity to run on canals, I'm surprised I've never been on them before. They'll be a good option from Gold's Gym (less than 2 miles away). Nice run this evening with the last half mile in 2:49. Overall pace of 7:32/mile.

Treadmill at Gold's - 31:05

Mostly easy pace with some pickups (1 x 1:30, 3 x 1:00, 2 x :30) at around 5:30/mile pace. Felt pretty good. Did 20 minutes of weights and core pre run.

Neighborhoods+ - 34:55

Got out at 11 p.m. Ran a bit in the neighborhoods then went to get my car at St. Al's. 5 x 30 second pickups in the last mile. So tired right now!

Canal banks + Cassia Park - 1:09

Ran in the afternoon, and it was hot and surprisingly humid. Pace was about 7:35-7:40/mile. Wanted a longer run (14-15 miles) today, but it was not in the cards.
