Rock Creek Park - 56:04

First 4 miles with Emily (10:30, 10:32, 10:30, 10:33) then ran home 2+ miles at about 6:55/mile pace with a couple of pickups. Hadn't been on that stretch of the trail for years...does not compare well with the Boise Greenbelt, but it's about the best close by in Twin Falls.

Pushups: 2 x 20
