Spaghetti loop around Camas hill so I could have plenty of hills to trash my legs on. Felt good. Final mile in 5:40, averaged 7:05 for the run.

Awake at 4:10 and running by 4:15 because I had to to be back by 6:00. Bend has very few street lights (city ordinance so you can see the stars) and it was awfully dark for the first hour. Guts weren’t happy around mile 6 and I never felt great. Pretty miserable run, all things considered. I wanted to run 18 but had to cut it short due to time constraints. So it goes...

Slept in my own bed last night for a change. Ran the mill plain and 164th loop this morning early before my oldest opened birthday presents and then leaving for another few days in the Tri-Cities. 

PM: 4 miles in Richland, then sushi.

Lacamas Trails. Goal was to run for 2.5 hours and not be concerned about distance. Started in downtown Camas so 1.3 miles uphill to start and then just made a ton of loops and zigzags around the area for the next couple of hours. Hi at mile 6 and 12 and a few sips of water at 7 and 13. Felt great. The last few miles were a blast and I wanted to keep running but obligations at home forced me to quit. Total of 2,000 feet elevation gain & loss and total time running was 2:42. Had fun and felt like I could keep going, so that’s a good sign.

Short run. Better than nothing. These shoes are shot and I need to stop wearing them. Strange that I got to 1,000 miles with my last pair and this one is done at 600.

Awesome run in Boise. From downtown hotel to north of the city and a dirt trail oasis with routes all over the place. I’ll bring my headlamp next trip and enjoying it again.
