A.M. - Hike/run at Schoolhouse Gulch - 1:50

Hiked with Emily and Nica (in the backpack for most of it) on the Schoolhouse Gulch trail. It was pretty dusty and full of horse manure (it is part of a commercial horseback riding area) but still a decent place to go. I had to run about 1.5 miles ahead to scout out the trail in one place to make sure we were headed the right way. The rest of it was just hiking miles.

P.M. - Canal banks + BK trails - 25:24

At 9 p.m. Getting a little dark for 9 p.m runs on the canals/trails. Didn't feel too hot on this one.

Canal banks + neighborhoods - 36:35

Warm afternoon. Was planning on a 40 minute progression run, but my hamstring kind of seized up again about 20 minutes in when I got the pace down in the 6:30's range. I had to jog it in and settle for 5 miles mostly easy. Looks like another 4-5 days of easy jogging.

Greenbelt - 40:59

Easy pace - locked into about 8:00/mile range which didn't seem to hurt the hamstring, but it was maybe a little too fast to let it heal. Maybe the next few days should be at 8:30 or slower.

West Bench canals + greenbelt - 57:50

Started from the DoubleTree. Did about 35-40 minutes on the new canals and the rest on the greenbelt. Timed a couple of sections on the greenbelt and I was able to do about 7:40/mile pace, so that was good. Listened to some Cat Stevens on the I-Pod. It was definitely just a jog easy and enjoy some Cat Stevens night.

Borah track - 43:04

Hot out and I felt horrible, but got through a decent run. Did a couple of 200's to test the hamstring, and it felt runable at about 6:00/mile. Maybe a tempo run in the cards next week.

Smith Creek - 1:13

Felt really strong on this one. It was a warm afternoon, but I was able to make it quite a bit further than last weekend. Usually a vacant forest service road, but today I saw several four wheelers and dirt bikes. They all looked surprised to see me. Hammy felt pretty good.
