It was 42 degrees this morning with winds 10-15mph. It wasn't raining when I left. It was, however, raining pretty steady by mile 5 and by mile 7 I was soaked to the skin. I was in shorts and a long-sleeve tech shirt with thin gloves. I was OK except my hands which were really cold once the gloves soaked through.

I ran 15.23 miles in an easy pace as my legs were still a little tight from the hills on Saturday.

It was 41 degrees with winds 10-15mph this morning, but it wasn't raining yet so today was better than yesterday. I ran 15.25 miles in a comfortable pace but faster than Monday.

It was 27 degrees this morning with very light winds.......a regular Idaho surprise!!!  I ran 15.22 miles very comfortably in a nice pace.  I did several pick-up miles after I was warmed-up and they felt really good.  We are getting closer to race season and I am anxious to see what gains I have made with all these miles.

It was 29 degrees this morning......same old same old. There was a very light breeze so that was good. I ran a nice, easy 12.56 for an easy day today. Long run tomorrow.

It was 37 degrees this morning with a few windy spots (S. Bannock Hwy) but overall a nice morning.  4 of us left my house at a little after 6.  Only Barry Smith and I went the whole 22+ miles.  We ran in an easy pace but still less than 3 hours for an easy long run.  This was a step-back week for me so only 93 miles.....I feel like a slacker!!!
