A.M. - Trail Creek/Corral Creek - 54:25

Another great trail run in Sun Valley. Ran from the Inn and just cruised along these nice, mostly flat trails. Met Emily and Nica the last few minutes and ran with them.

P.M. - Canal Banks - 20:12

Easy shakeout run at 8 pm in my new Asics trail shoes I bought in Sun Valley this afternoon. Stiff and heavy, but they will come in handy from time to time (they would have been perfect yesterday).

Treadmill at Golds - 37:02

Borah track

Jogged around the track with Emily and Nica. Wore my Nike flats for the first time in over a year and did a few strides. Was going to get out later for 5 or 6 more but went to bed instead.

South Cole canal banks - 38:40

Hot out this afternoon and I was dehydrated and felt horrible. Ran from work on the canals and neighborhoods. Good place to run; I should do it more often. Tried a progression run, but I was just dead today. Miles of 7:33, 7:05, 6:42, 6:22 and 3:05 (half mile) followed by a mile easy.

Treadmill + neighborhoods - 55:05

Ran 35 minutes easy on the treadmill, then changed shoes and did 3 miles hard outside in 17:40 (6:00, 5:50, 5:49). The last mile was tough, as I haven't done much quality work for a long time.

A.M. Valley High + Terrace Lakes - 52:58

Did a couple loops of the Valley High subdivision then ran to Terrace Lakes and did about 2 miles on the back 9 of the golf course. Steady pace on a nice morning. Going to be a warm one today.

Wore the asics trail shoes for the first 3 miles. Too heavy and stiff for my liking. May just be a hiking/backpacking shoe for me. 

P.M. Borah track + neighborhoods - 33:35

Moderate pace in the dark. Enjoyed Wilco's new album on the I-Pod.
