10 miles around Idaho Falls. I always enjoy running somewhere new. I felt really good so I kept the pace as close to 7:00 as possible. 7:05 AP.

I had planned a fartlek run this morning but my legs felt tired and I just wasn't up for it. Tomorrow my youngest boy starts preschool so I'll have about two hours with NO kids. So I'll do my speedwork tomorrow when the sun is up and I'm a little bit more awake. 7:25 AP.

The original goal today was 3 miles, 2 miles, 1 mile. BUT...the wind and heat decided to suck the energy right out of me. So I ended up doing 3 miles, 2x1 mile. I ran my usual tempo loop around my neighborhood.

3 miles: 6:09, 6:09, 6:15- 18:35
1 mile: 6:22 (into the wind and uphill) Blah!
1 mile: 6:06

I try not to make the weather an excuse, but it really sucked today. 80+ degrees and wind are hard to run a good workout in. I felt like I was running Des News!

10 miles up Highland, along Creek Rd, back on 900 East. I ran the first 5 miles at a relaxed pace and then picked it up for the last 5. My mile splits were between 6:30-6:42. So not quite a tempo but quickerish. 7:08 AP.
