PMI: Smith Creek - 1:07

Drizzly, cloudy morning. Ran to the "top" of Smith Creek (where it starts to head downhill) at a steady but relaxed pace, then took it easy on the way down - the wet/muddy forest service road would have been tough to fly downhill on today like I did yesterday. It was nice and cool and the fall colors were excellent. 

PMII: Gold's Gym - 15 minutes on the treadmill, 10 minutes ellyptical and 30 minutes weights.

BK Track - 33:52

Brisk evening. Didn't run until 10 p.m. Started slow and progressed to a reasonable pace.

Treadmill - 32:05

Easy pace with 3 x 1:00 pickups at the end. Felt ok, but unmotivated.

Canal banks + neighborhoods - 30:23

Made the best of the short window of time I had to run in today. Did a progression run with miles of 7:14, 6:27, 6:10 and 5:58 and a half mile easier. Felt pretty good.

ISU Alumni Race 3K - 11+

I ran the Idaho State alumni cross country race this morning, although no one really raced it. The team has conference next week, so they just ran easy, and I was suffering from a late night out so I had no incentive to run hard. So Aaron Olswanger and I just ran easy/steady on the team's hilly cross country course so we could save some energy for running trails after the race. The last minute or two several of the ISU guys decided to pick it up and they went by me pretty easily. Aaron decided to sprint with them, but I just jogged it in. 

55 minutes later on City Creek with Trevor, Melissa, Joe, Aaron and Mat. These are the best trails ever, and I truly enjoyed our easy run up to the gate and back. Great memories on City Creek.
