Pretty good week. The weather is starting to get nicer and that makes it easier for me to go out and run.
Mon - 3.75 mi - down past the baseball stadium and back to the house
Wed - ~4 mi, Palmer Point loop with a little extra added in.
Sun - 10.2 mi, Incline Club workout
Total 18 [...]
Finally got off my ass and went to an Incline Club workout. Got there a few minutes early, ran into a girl that recognized me from the RunnersWorld forums, signed in and then hit the streets. Ran up to Ute Pass Trail, over to Waldo Canyon about a mile in, and then came [...]
Another busy week.
Saturday - 5K; 30:34 (PR)
Sunday - 2.5 mi on treadmill; 33:00 (10 minutes at 10% incline)
5.6 mi; 63 min
Josh and I talked yesterday about heading into Palmer Park to run the Templeton loop at some point today. The weather wasn’t great this morning but there was no wind and it was hovering right around the freezing point. Michelle and I headed out for breakfast and I planned to look Josh up after that. [...]
Made a quick update to the goals page. It’s silly to chalk one up so early in the season and not raise the bar a little bit.
Woke up early on Saturday, had some breakfast, and started getting my head right for the 5K on St. Patrick’s Day in downtown Colorado Springs. I changed clothes a few times because every time I looked out the window the weather was doing something different. Finally decided I would wear shorts and a tech shirt. [...]
Unlike others, I can’t just train for one race until August. I need some intermediate events to keep me motivated and set benchmarks. Here is what I’ve got planned between now and the end of the summer:
- 5K on St. Patrick’s Day - A fun and fast 5K in downtown COS. This will mark the [...]
Kudos to the RDs for a job well done. Unfortunately, they are still letting active.com handle the business end of things, but it was MUCH smoother than last year. I logged on at about 10 til noon yesterday and after clicking the “register” button a couple of times only to get the “too busy” errors, [...]
It finally warmed up yesterday afternoon and Josh and I headed out to Palmer Park with intentions of tackling the Palmer Point loop. Once we found the trailhead, about a quarter mile away from the parking lot behind the stables, we headed out. The trail is much smoother than the Templeton trail which follows the [...]
After all that the week of 3/2, I managed no miles running this past week. Had midterms, weather, and life get in the way. I did manage to get a full day of snowboarding in on Saturday and my legs feel it. My shins do feel a little better, though.
