Week of January 30 to February 5

SUNDAY

Hudson finally got a run in - on leash from Stazios Ballfields. It was cold. 16F but sunny. He seemed perplexed by the deep snow. 1.7 miles and a little frisbee afterwards

Ran Boulder Creek Path from Stazios to Broadway in the afternoon. Almost skipped. 9.4 miles at an 8:17 pace

Week ending Sunday February 5
Hudson 7.7 miles with 1 summit
Chris 40.7 miles with 4,456'



SATURDAY

Wasn't in the mood to trudge through a few feet of snow so ran the nicely plowed flat paved paths through the city. Similar to the Burke-Gilman back in Seattle. A generally lazy 12.7 mile run

Hudson is getting restless. May need to do an on-leash run since the snow is up to his shoulders


FRIDAY

12" - 16" of snow - so Hudson got the day off

Went to Green Mountain in the afternoon. Way harder than expected. Was scrambling up the steepest sections. Saw one runner who turned around at the scree field as he was up to his waist in snow. I turned around after an hour (with an hour plus to summit - it is a work day) - took 25 minutes to get down. Guessing 3 miles and 1,150'




THURSDAY

Hudson was exhausted after doing Mount Sanitas yesterday so took him back! He pretty much refused so we went to some more mellow trails across the street. Maybe 1.3 miles

Mount Sanitas in the afternoon. 3.1 miles and 1,357'


WEDNESDAY

Hudson set a PR for Mount Sanitas. 27:55 to the summit and 51:44 round trip

Went south in the late afternoon to Cowdrey Draw / Community Ditch / Coal Seam / Marshall Valley. 4.8 miles with 300' of hills

Today registration opened for the Jemez Half Marathon. 13.6 miles with 2,723'



Maureen signed up as well
