4 TM miles this morning at home. It was my first time running early on the TM at home while the kids were asleep. I started about 6:15 am and heard no complaints after we woke them at 7, so I call that a success. It helps that we're all noise sleepers. We all need some kind of white noise to sleep peacefully: fan, white noise app on iPod, humidifier, etc. My wife comes from a long line of white noise sleepers. When her family goes anywhere, they bring along a collection of fans. One sister in law brings her 30" square box fan every where she goes. It's hilarious. 

Score one for white noise. My early morning TM run was a success.

4 mile TM progression run, ending at 8.0 for the last quarter mile. Felt pretty tired when I woke up which is odd as I've gotten good sleep the last two nights and haven't run that much. Must be the white noise.

Ran about 1/2 mile before Boot Camp at Noon. The class is always brutal if I listen to the hard-core instructor, and today I listened pretty well. Feel a little beat up, but in a good way.

Rest day yesterday, did 4 on the TM at home this morning. Progression run from walking 4.0 to 8.5 mph for the last quarter mile.

Scout campout tonight & tomorrow, so will likely miss my Saturday long run. Hoping I can get someone to cover my duties for a couple hours, but we'll see.

Only a couple patrols came through my Klondike GPS station, so finally at 2 PM I got out on the road for a run. Needed to be back around 3 so didn't give me much time. Ran 3.5 miles down the same dirt road I ran on a couple years ago at the Klondike, with similar weather. 40s or so, which meant partially muddy roads in spots where the snow was melting. Tough to figure out where to run on a muddy road. Follow the tire tracks? The gravel on the side? The snow without slush? Such tough decisions. Good run, but I am so out of shape. Lots of hills on this one and my short time frame meant I pushed the pace and my legs and lungs were not enjoying it. Ran an 8ish pace quite a bit and that was exciting. Garsh I have a long way to go.

After running 7 on the roads I ran out on the lake as I needed to recover the clues I'd stashed earlier this morning. Not exactly sure of the mileage, but I think it's about 1.5.
