Canal banks + neighborhoods - 28:57

Ran right at twilight. Started out kind of easy, but felt better as the run went on. Hit the 3rd mile in 6:42, which felt nice and smooth.

Earlier walked 2 miles with Emily and Leo

Castle Rock + Military Reserve - 1:21

Started on the greenbelt and headed up the Castle Rock trail. Took the neighborhoods down to the reserve and did a few miles on the trails there. Great afternoon outside - beautiful fall colors and mid 60s. I could handle this weather all year. Would have liked to have gone farther but the achilles started acting up and I was also dehydrated and hungry. Need to fuel up a little better before longer runs.

3.5 mile wo, 4 x 1mile LT, 4.5 mile wd

Did this workout on the greenbelt. Started at Ann Morrison and went upstream toward Barber Park (had to detour becuase of construction a few times). Really fatigued and underfueled again today, but gutted it out. Miles were 5:51, 55, 59, 6:02 with about 3 minute recoveries. Warm down miles were slow and painful.

Missed last 2 days of running. Feeling really fatigued in the morning like I don't want to get out of bed, and then had 2 nights of classes in a row. Still should have run 30 minutes or something each night. Oh well.

Treadmill - 30:02

Fatigue continued today. Fell asleep after work and didn't feel like doing anything, but managed a short run on the treadmill at an easy pace.

Weights, core & stretching - 20 minutes

PMI: Eagle Island State Park - 38+

Went out to Eagle Island to watch the state xc championships. Ran 3 miles solo on the back trails behind the race course (great place to run), then did 2 more running around the course cheering some runners on during a couple of the races. Twin Falls repeated as state champions, and a couple of my former junior high runners did pretty well for Borah.

PMII: 1 mile wo, 10 x 400, 1 mile wd

Easy warmup mile with Leo, then went to the gym and did 10 x 400 at 1:24 (roughly current 5k pace) with 200 jogs in about 1:05-1:10. I got really sweaty, but other than that, it wasn't too bad.
