Easy shakeout jog. Watched some Arrested Development on Amazon Prime. Good stuff.

P.M. - Canal banks + neighborhoods - 33:19

Pretty easy pace just as it was getting dark. Didn't have a whole lot of enthusiasm this evening. But at least it was semi-warm out.

2 mile warmup; 20 minute tempo; 2 mile warmdown

Took the canals to the Borah track where I did a 20 minute steady run at an overall pace of about 6:10/mile. Most of it was done at about 6:15/mile pace, but near the end I did a harder half mile in 2:53. Didn't feel great, but it was good enough for tonight.

Greenbelt + run home - 58:57

Did 25 minutes on the greenbelt, then ran home. Raining pretty steadily for the first 30 minutes, then nice the rest of the way. Moderate pace from the Flicks theater after watching a film called "The Phantom Wolves of Sun Valley."

Ran from Jeremy's house down to the park and did tomorrow's Turkey Trot Relay course. Met Molly down there and did 2 miles with her. Cold out, but felt pretty good.

YMCA Turkey Trot Relay

Did the world class event known as Boise's Turkey Trot Relay. It's a 4 x 2 mile course around Ann Morrison Park. The goal is to run as closely to your predicted overall time as possible, without the use of a watch. Our co-ed team was titled "Got the Runs." We did pretty well overall (placed top 5, I think), but we were over 2 minutes off our predicted team time, hence no turkeys for us.

I ended up running 10:47, so I was close to my predicted 10:50 time. It was super cold this morning, but only icy in a few spots so that was good. I ran the first leg and was able to finish second behind ageless wonder Alan Newton (pushing age 50 and probably still at 15 min 5k runner). The rest of our team ran great, and we all had a lot of fun.
