Met up with a few people to climb Mt. Shavano on Saturday morning.  I spent most of Friday night digging out and packing my gear and finally figuring out why my heart rate strap replete with fresh battery still wouldn’t talk to my Garmin 305.  Thankfully that was a top 5 hit on the Garmin [...]

Disappointed with last Sunday’s workout, I decided to launch a midweek assault on the trail.  Maybe if I surprised it, it would be much easier for me.  It didn’t really work out that way, but I did get in a much better workout than Sunday.  I hit the trail a few minutes after 6am on [...]

Pretty crappy run from Memorial Park up to No Name Creek and back.  One of these days I’ll learn to stop drinking beer on Saturday night before planning to go run with the IC.  Seriously considering getting in a trip to Barr Camp one morning this week if I can swing a late arrival at [...]

Just took a look at my MB log and my last 10 runs/hikes were on the list dating back to May 19.  Since that time I’ve run/hike over 71 miles.  That is a huge number for me.  I’m usually not as concerned with volume as I need to be since it seems I’m always nursing [...]

Headed down to Albuquerque on Sunday after running the GoG10M and had planned on tackling a La Luz roundtrip while I was down there.  After running the 10 miler on Sunday and then sitting in a car for near 6 hours almost immediately after that, I was a little sore for the remainder of Sunday [...]

Got up early Sunday morning to head over to Memorial Park for the Garden of the Gods Ten Miler.  Rolling out of bed, I already felt kinda crappy and it made getting into a 10 mile mindset that much more difficult.  W made our way over to Manitou only to find the streets backed up [...]

Nothing spectacular this week but I did manage to get a nice 5+ miler in on the trails in GoG on Thursday morning.  I grabbed the dog and headed over to Memorial Park for the IC run at 8am this morning.  I still can’t figure out how to get there on time and as such [...]

First IC run of the season.  Better late than never I guess.  Signed in a few minutes late and headed over to Barr Trail with the dog.  It was a lackluster effort with lots of stopping and resting on the way up.  After an hour up the trail, I turned around and headed back.  I [...]
