Week of April 16 to April 22

SUNDAY

Another great sleep and a speedy 2.1 miles with Hud at Dry Creek

Went to Green Mountain for 5.3 miles and 2,344'. Was going to add Flagstaff Mountain at the end but groin was a little sore from biking yesterday

Week ending Sunday April 22
Hudson 11 miles with 1 summit of Sanitas
Chris 45.9 miles with 9,083'



SATURDAY

A great sleep and a late start with Hud at Dry Creek. 2.1 casual miles as Hud goofed around with other dogs

14.6 miles of biking after buying a bike. Stops included University Bicycles for a few supplies, the Farmer's Market and Snarf's for subs


FRIDAY

A very brisk 2.1 miles with Hud at Dry Creek. While a Green Mountain or Mount Sanitas is more of a challenge for Hud, Dry Creek is a great workout for him. I'll run at a consistent pace and he'll stop to sniff until I'm 50 yards ahead - then he'll sprint top speed 100 yards and this repeats itself for 19 minutes

Was not motivated for an afternoon run but needed to a distance run. 12.3 "easy" miles (as in not particularly fast) at Teller Farms with 694' - it felt like more. I'll toss this run in the "absolutely not fun but very useful" category


THURSDAY

Late night last night watching the Vancouver victory so a late start on Green Mountain. Just me - Hud seemed ok with the day off. 5.3 miles with 2,344'

Tennis with Hud in the evening at the local school


WEDNESDAY

Dry Creek with Hudson early. Saw two large Husky-Malamute mixes - Hud gave them the old "back-off" growl. 2.1 miles

Green Mountain after. Near the summit heard a runner about a switchback behind me. Took a look - it was the legend, Anton. I sprinted the rest of the way so he didn't pass me. Barely made it. We chatted a few minutes - no doubt quite a thrill for him.

5.3 miles with 2,344' - my happy day immediately ruined back at the car when I saw how many work e-mails I had from lawyers


TUESDAY

A brisk ascent of Mount Sanitas with Hudson - made it to the summit in less than 26 minutes



2.6 miles with 1,357'

Went to Bobolink after work. A brisk 6.75 miles


MONDAY

Took the day off
