Week of February 13 to February 19

SUNDAY

Day Off as we were in the car from 7am MST until 8pm PST

Week ending Sunday February 19
Hudson 12 miles with 1 summit
Chris 22.6 miles with 7,032' and 3 Green Mountain summits


A nice streak of 7 weeks with over 40 miles ended but expected


SATURDAY

Dry Creek with Hud. 2.1 miles before the 2 day drive to Seattle


FRIDAY

Day off. I had little motivation to run a flat path as trails are getting messy


THURSDAY

Green Mountain with Hud at sunrise. Plan was 20-30 minutes of goofing around. We ended up hiking to the summit. He never got tired



Hud set his PR; 5.7 miles with 2,344' in 1:56:26. Woo-hoo!

Green Mountain in the afternoon. Goal was still 1:09:59. Made it to the summit in 46:25, signed the register and was about to start the sprint down - when 2 people politely asked directions that took 40-60 seconds. Final time: 1:10:51. Worst of all was I realized the directions I gave were wrong. Duh!

On the day 11 miles and 4,688'


WEDNESDAY

Dry Creek with Hud. 2.1 miles. He needed to work out his frustration that a Pekingese won Best-in-Show last night


TUESDAY

Green Mountain at sunrise. Goal was 1:09:59 (my 2012 goal for Green Mountain). Made it to the summit in just over 46 minutes, scrambled up to the cairn, took a few pics and was heading down at 47:37 (I remember I had to make it down in 22:22). Sadly it took 23:17 for 1:10:54. A PR by 2:04 over Sunday. Quads (running downhill) and lower calves (climbing) are sore. 5.3 miles and 2,344'




MONDAY

Dry Creek with Hud. 2.1 miles

Hudson gives "snake face" and growls more since the fight - which is ok since he only does it when another dog is in his face. It does makes me nervous - what if he does it to the two German Shepherds we see at South Mesa? Yikes
