Group Run

Finally got to run with other humans! Sean, Scott, and I were on foot and Tyler was on his bicycle. We covered 18.75 miles and 5000 ft up & down in 4 hours.

We hit the pavement and just walked it in. It was the longest those nut jobs have run. They killed me on the ups, like I thought they would. I went a little faster on the downs and gave them a nice show as I gave mother Earth some lovin'. I tumbled and I think I did something to my right hip/SI, but I'm hoping that I didn't.

40 oz of water gone at the top. 1 snicks and 6 cliff blox. Felt good - except for the stupid fall.

Thank you wife! You are the best.

It Pete's Birthday!

Had a plan to go Huge with the Jefe. But after 48 hours of huffing paint fumes, I bailed.

In fact, I wonder about bailing all together? Have I come too far already? Probably. Just finish the training and get it done? Come on, talk me into it. Or out. I think I'll do it. But I should NOT have skipped today.

I have a headache.

It's Peter's Birthday

And I celebrated by running up to Cascade Springs and back. It was warm and beautiful. Sweaty, shirtless, zone 4-5. Felt really good!

Dipped my head in the stream.

Found a tick in my hair on the way down.

10.3 miles.

Hit a 4:22 for a second on the paved spring side descent.

2800 ft ups & downs

I wear my glasses at night

Tried out the night running just there. Started at 9:45. After about two miles up the road, I decided it was not a great idea to be there alone. Big Baby. Something told me I should turn around. I think its a good Idea to listen to "something" when it tells you stuff like that. So I did. But then I went back up and then down. Had to get my hour!

I watched fireworks for 5 minutes, so I had to make up that time. 6.18 miles 1 hour (not including the firework break). 1120 el.

It was beautiful. I feel so good and do so well at night. Why? Cooler temps? Can't see how steep it is? Pretty sky? Not sure. But next time, I'm getting a partner.
