Started a run from the cabin (7 minutes) but Emily's family arrived just then so I stopped. Oh well.

Fire roads to McBride Creek - 1:26

Good trail run this afternoon. Carried 32 oz of fluids, which helped immensely. Started to wear down a bit the last few minutes of downhill, but all in all, a pretty solid time on a very challenging trail course. Sad for the weekend to end.

Borah track - 44:55

My hamstring felt a lot better this evening but my right achilles picked up the slack and hurt quite a bit. I tried to do some running at threshold pace and faster to test the hamstring. I ended up doing an 800 (2:54), 4 x 200 (38-39) and an 800 (2:55). That pace felt fine on the hammy so I think I'm good to go in that respect.

A.M. - Neighborhoods - 32:11

For the first time in years, I was influenced by a Runner's World article. The particular article was about running in the morning and it hit home. The author talked about the burden of trying to be a family man and fitting in an evening run. So I got up at 5:30 and did a few miles before work. 8:03/mile pace.

P.M. - Greenbelt + run home - 56:05

Emily and I played at the Ann Morrison fountain and playground with Nica, then when they drove home, I ran on the greenbelt for about 20-25 minutes then ran home. Tired and low on fuel/water, but was able to manage about 7:25/mile average.

Neighborhoods - 32:12

Another morning run before work (2 in a row!). Started super, super slow and managed to dip under 8:00/mile with a blazing 7:59/mile average.

PM: Drove to Garden Valley and didn't run.

Smith Creek - 47:05

Ran pretty hard and battled the afternoon heat. The road seemed especially steep today.

Also played in the river, swam in the pool and golfed 18 holes. Big day in the sun!
