Week of May 28 to June 3

SUNDAY

Dry Creek with Hudson but he was dragging - day off for him tomorrow. We weren't much faster than Prescott the Jack Russell Terrier

Went to Sugarloaf for a loop on the Swtizerland Trail - 3.7 miles down to Sunset, 1.9 miles up Pennsylvania Gulch and 4.3 miles on another spur of the Switzerland Trail to Sugarloaf. 9.9 miles and 1,650'

Week ending Sunday June 3
Hudson 12.2 miles - all in the past 5 days
Chris 47.2 miles with 7,155' with three summits



SATURDAY

Dry Creek with Hudson at 6am for an hour - everyone was beating the heat so Hud saw maybe 15 dogs. We did two loops walking; the first with a woman and her Border Collie mix and then with Dick and Trouble. 3.8 miles

Buchanan Pass later in the morning. Maureen and I agreed on 2.5 hours so got in a casual 11.3 miles with 1,000' with plenty of scrambling over fallen trees and log bridges



FRIDAY

Dry Creek with Hud. He finally saw a few other dogs

No other run - hoping for a big weekend in the mountains


THURSDAY

The exact same day as Wednesday - except Hud was chasing birds today and Mount Sanitas was about 30 seconds slower


May
Hudson 38.8 miles - and lots of chasing tennis balls
Chris 178.1 miles with 30,345'


A decent month highlighted by the Jemez half marathon and a 10K but June needs to be better


WEDNESDAY

Dry Creek with Hud at a brisk pace at 5:30am. Hud chased - unsuccessfully - 4 bunnies. The last time was not even close and a praire dog started yelling at him. 2.1 miles

Mount Sanitas after - did the full loop since was by myself (includes some tougher hiking Hud would not like). 3.4 miles with 1,357' in a PR 42:03


TUESDAY

Day off - drive back to Boulder plus a few cocktails last night with a few buddies



MONDAY

Park with Hud - 20+ minutes of tennis and creek wading

Atalaya Mountain later that morning with Maureen - sort of.

Her foot was a little sore so dropped her off at a different trail head that would make her round-trip about 2 miles shorter and we would get to the summit at about the same time (she had yet to hit the summit). I made it to the summit but no Maureen. She had gone on a different trail - but we made it back to the car at the same time. 7 miles with 1,781'
