Middle Fork Rd + Dry Creek Rd - 41:56

Did not feel good on this run this afternoon. Route was kind of hilly, and it just felt like I was struggling. I think I wore too many layers.

Middle Fork Rd. + Dry Creek Rd. - 40:35

Felt much better this morning. Got in some decent hill climbs and also did 6 x 30 second pickups on the way back (5:20/mile range). Nice run.

Canal Banks + Borah track - 47:55

Ran 22 minutes on the canals, then headed to the track to do some stretching and light drills. But when I got there, a runner I used to coach in junior high - now running in college - was doing a tempo run and I jumped in with him for the last 1000m (3:15-3:20) of his workout. Then we cooled down on the canals for a couple of miles. He has made huge improvements since high school. Running hard for 3 minutes definitely got me to realize how much I need to actually add in some workouts - but so hard to do solo.

Greenbelt - 59+

Warmed up 1.5, then did a 6 mile tempo run with splits of 6:23, 6:10, 6:06, 5:57, 5:59 and 5:53, before a 1.5 mile cool down. Out 3 miles in about 18:40 and back in about 17:50. Average pace of about 6:05/mile.

Raining pretty steady the whole way, but not too cold. Pretty good run all in all.

Rocky Canyon Rd. -1:58

Great long run today, but it wiped me out. Started at the Military Reserve, and went up Rocky Canyon Rd. 7 miles and 1700' to the last climb before the Robie Creek summit. Felt pretty strong. On the way back down, I came through Shane's trail and Buck trail and into the reserve. Beautiful morning - warm and sunny. The road was wet but in good condition.

 Easy recovery run. Legs pretty sore all day from yesterday's long run, but felt ok during the run this evening.

Harrison Hollow trails - 41:57

Nice morning run with Travis from his house. Started out pretty easy on the steep hills, but worked into a pretty good pace by the last 2 miles. Beautiful, clear day out today.
