46 minutes in Boise with Johnny along the canal banks going to Cassia Park.  Call it 5.8.  Ran a little before 7am local time.  Not much going on in Boise at that hour, and it was cool.  

We took the pace easy the whole way.  Good thing, because my legs weren't feeling too good.  The first 5 or 10 minutes, my whole left leg was stiff and kind of tingly like it was asleep.  Also the Achilles were very stiff, and I felt a bit of p.f. in my right arch, which always scares me.

Furthermore, I was having some minor stomach issues after last night's binge at The Melting Pot, so any faster pace would likely have caused disaster.  Evidently, though, my stomach problems paled in comparison to Johnny's, who sprayed a wet deuce along the canal banks hardly a mile into the run...

That's graphic. Alana's creative writing has really rubbed off on you. Thanks for letting me play a cameo role in your blog as the nasty guy who poops on the canal banks.
