Greenbelt - 48:34

Nice run on a great afternoon. Breezy and cool, but it felt perfect. I started at Ann Morrison and went upstream and over the orange bridge and back. Did a lap around Bronco Stadium to wish the Broncos good luck. Average pace of around 7:00/mile.

Borah track + Federal Way loop - 2:26

I hadn't done a run over 2 hours since May of 2008. I almost had forgotten what they feel like, but this morning I got to re-live it. I actually had a great run and felt pretty strong the whole way. I even debated adding a mile or two at the end but decided not to get carried away. I also kep the pace conservative (7:20/mile average) to be on the safe side.

The first 50 minutes were at the Borah track. Emily and Nica were walking and playing there, so I got to say "hi" every lap. Then I headed to the Federal Way canal path and came back on the bike path. First 10 miles in 1:14, last 10 in 1:12.

Nice, cool morning to run. Almost a bit nippy at 7:30 when I started.

Canal banks - 28:13

Short run to recover from yesterday. No soreness in the legs, but some general fatigue and dehydration.

Boise bench - 58:40

Took the canals to the Rosehill house to put the garbages and recycling out to the curb. I've been running this direction a lot lately...not sure why.

I didn't feel super this afternoon but it's nice getting into somewhat decent shape where an 8 miler doesn't hurt at all, even on an off day.

Treadmill - 47:30

Snail pace progessing to a slow pace. Ran at 5:45 a.m. at home.

Had some oral surgery at 8 a.m. - a wisdom tooth with a big hole in it needed to be pulled. I probably could have waited another month or two, but I kind of panicked when earlier this week a piece of the tooth looked like it was going to break off completely.

Anyway, the procedure went ok but I'll have to take a few really easy days.

A.M. - South Fork Rd - 35:04

A nice slow run on a beautiful morning. This is an excellent dirt/gravel road to run on. Rolling hills, but mostly flat. Quiet, no traffic and nice scenery of the S. Fork of the Payette River.

P.M. - Middle Fork Rd - 28:11

Ran from the cabin just before dark. Easy pace again, but felt ok with minimal to moderate tooth pain.
