Pretty typical weather for Boise this week, hot and dry with temps in the low to mid 90s. I hit the track on Tuesday morning for some of the fast stuff. The goal was one mile about 10K pace, 4x400, and finishing it off with another mile at around 5K pace. First mile went fairly slowly in 5:51, four quarters in 83, 81, 80 and 79. After that, I called it a morning and cooled down, as I just wasn't feeling it. I'll chalk it up to the past weekend's triathlon.
After an easy 5 on Weds. at lunch, I followed it up with Thursday morning hills, about 7 in the Highlands neighborhood north of town. Still felt a bit sluggish, but I sometimes expect that with an early wake up call.
I'm hoping for a good long run and ride sometime this weekend; maybe I can motivate myself to wake up early enough to beat the heat. Sunday it's off to Anaheim, CA for a conference, to return Weds. night. I've tried to scout out places to run in the Disney vicinity, but it's proving tough. Unless, that is, the surrounding parking lots have unusually pleasant scenery.

Welcome!
Maybe it's true what they say about an author who writes just to hear himself think. OK, I don't think anyone really says that, but just the same, if you're reading along, I consider that a true complement.
