Treadmill - 35:05

Took a run on the sweatmill at home tonight. Did 23 minutes at a slow pace with the incline up fairly high, then finished with 12 minutes of easy fartlek. Legs felt great this evening.

A.M. - Run to work - 24:01

Pretty decent run to work today at about 7:45/mile pace. Cold out though.

P.M. - Treadmill at Gold's - 39:05

Did some easy running and some fartlek tonight while watching Monday Night Football. The Ravens defense stepped up big which secured my fantasy football win. The fartlek was 5 min (6:27 pace)-4 min (6:22 pace)-3 min (6:10 pace)-2 min (5:39 pace)-1 min (5:39 pace) with equal recoveries. Hard enough to mix things up; easy enough to not strain a whole lot.

Hulls Gulch - 1:00

Ran up the gulch and down the freeway with Aaron O. It turned out to be a great evening after a windy and cold morning. Really nice trail run tonight - the pace was just right. It's tough to get to the trails on weekdays, but I'm going to have to start making time to do this on the weekends because it's so much fun.

Hillcrest Loop+ - 53:50

Nice run tonight in the dark. Kept it easy at first, but by 37 minutes I felt inspired to do a couple of 3 minute pickups to turn the legs over. Ran past the golf course and did a loop around Owyhee Elementary.

A.M. - Treadmill - 20:03

Had a workshop so I didn't have to be at work as early as usual. Did an easy treadmill run to get a short workout in.

P.M. - Canal banks + neighborhoods - 37:42

Didn't feel great this evening, but got through it. Averaged 7:26/mile pace.

Middle Fork Road - 1:14

Great run on the unpaved National Forest section, 6 miles from the cabin. Surface conditions were decent - soft dirt, mud, snow and ice, but never so bad that it impeded me too much. Ran 4 miles upstream before it got a bit icy. On the way back, I detoured up to the One Spoon trailhead. That would have been a little too ambitious for today. Finished up with a 3 minute pickup right around 6:00/mile pace. Can't wait to run these roads and trails every weekend and all summer.
