Borah track - 19:29

Pretty easy run at the track. Legs felt absolutely fine after wearing flats for the first time in quite a while. Yesterday's race was the first race in over 3 years that was shorter than a half marathon. I'll have to start doing a few more now as I forgot how fun they are.

A.M. - South Cole canal banks - 1:00

Really nice run from Frank Church High School after I put in a few hours of work. Easy to get lots done when the building is empty. Ran at a solid pace and felt pretty good the whole way.

P.M. - Bishop Kelly track - 27:38

Ran down to the BK track and did a few laps with a bunch of easy drills (power shuffle, carioca, easy skips, a-skip, butt kicks, etc).

Greenbelt - 59:35

Nice afternoon run on the greenbelt. Started at the Orchard St. access, and went upstream to the Warm Springs Golf Course and back. Headwind on the way out, tailwind on the way home. Did a 3.5 mile tempo run on the way back in, with splits of 6:09, 6:03, 6:00 and 3:01. It felt pretty good!

Noon - Greenbelt - 20:00

Pushed Nica in the stroller from the DoubleTree upstream and back. Good pace (sub 8:00/mile) for stroller miles.

P.M. - Treadmill - 38:30

Steady run wearing my new Mizunos. They are beefy but supportive and cushioned. Should be great for some easy winter base miles. Did 4 x .25 mile pickups in the last 10 minutes.

A.M. - Rock Creek Park -40:02

Jogged with Emily from Mom and Dad's house. Feeling a lot better from a horrible 24 hour flu/food poisoning bout that hit Wednesday night, but not perfect by any means. Nice day to be outside.

P.M. - XC skiing in the South Hills. Had Nica in the backpack - 35 extra pounds makes skiing a bit harder than it should be.
