Week of April 9 to Tax Day

SUNDAY

5 miles and 750' with Hud at South Mesa. A little snow overnight



Hudson snarled and barked at the 2 German Shepherds - not a great idea to mix it up with two 110lb tough dogs who do 5 miles daily



Week ending Sunday April 15
Hudson 13.2 miles with 1 summit of Sanitas
Chris 41.8 miles with a personal best 10,239'



SATURDAY

Dry Creek at 7:30am with Hudson. We were going to run but he ended up playing with a lot of other dogs. Maybe 1.4 miles of walking with additional sprints for Hud

Green Mountain after. The last third of the ascent was with another runner at a good pace and a good pace down. 5.3 miles with 2,344' in 1:16:26 - plus I managed not to fall which is great


FRIDAY

Dry Creek at 6:15am with Hudson. A brisk 2.1 miles

Green Mountain after. I was a minute ahead at the summit but must have been too cautious or slow on the way down as I was a minute slower than yesterday. 5.3 miles with 2,344'


THURSDAY

Gave Hudson the morning off and did Green Mountain. Not so much sleep last night as the thunderstorms kept Hudson up. 5.3 miles with 2,344' in 1:19:08 with one crazy wipe-out


WEDNESDAY

2.1 miles at Dry Creek with Hud. Had an easy day at AT&T and wanted to do Green but left knee was a little sore so rested


TUESDAY

Left at 6:15am with Hudson to do Mount Sanitas. He was still tired but he survived. He did look tired enough that a woman offered him water - he declined but licked her face. 2.6 miles with 1,357'

Afternoon went to Bobolink. 6.75 miles in the warm sun


MONDAY

Gave Hudson the day off after his superb week. With five more training weeks and one taper week before the Jemez Half it's time to kick up the runs. Did Hogback at a good pace - 3 minutes faster than last two outings - and added Lime Kiln for an additional 2 miles and 250'

Also found a nice pair of sunglasses
