Foresthill trails - 1:00

Ran on mostly the same trails as the previous day, except I was solo today. Saw a bunch of wild turkeys at the beginning of the run. Last 10 minutes with Emily and Nica in the stroller.

Canal banks + neighborhoods - 49:54

Pretty good effort today. Did some hills (6 x 15 seconds - 2 x Borah, 2 x Curtis, 2 x Phillippi) and 5 x 30 seconds on the flats during the middle 30 minutes of the run. Let's see how my achilles feels tomorrow. Generally, they get sore after short, fast hill work.

A.M. - Treadmill - 20:05

Quick run before work

P.M. - Treadmill - 40:10

Ran pretty easy, but had the incline up at 2.5% to start working on some hill stuff. No reason not to do it on a basic, easy run like this. Watched some "Jailbreak" during the run. 

Also 20 minutes of weights, core and stretching

Canal banks + Borah track - 55:18

This evening I ran 20 minutes pretty easy, ending at the Borah track. Then I did a bunch of easy drills, 8 x 50m accelerations and an 800m fairly hard (2:46). Finished with 12 minutes jog home.

Cold out tonight, but I dressed super warm which helped out.

Run to airport + treadmill - 53:05

31 minutes to the airport to pick up Mom and Dad's car, then did 22 minutes on the treadmill when I got home. Put the incline up a little bit and then finished with 3 x 1:00 pickups.

Greenbelt - 1:12

Ran 20 minutes moderate, then did a tempo workout of: 15 minutes at 6:14/mile; 6 minutes easy; 15 minutes at 6:07/mile; 6 minutes easy; half mile hard in 2:47.

Not a super workout, but a pretty good effort. Air quality really bad in town right now. May have been better on the greenbelt away from the cars, but still not great.
