Dry Creek with Hud before sunrise - got to run with my headlamp
Mount Audubon after - a strong smooth run/hike up, a little klutzy on the way down
Week ending Sunday August 12
Hudson 12.5 miles
Chris 44.3 miles with 6,062' with 2 summits and a good race plus 30 miles on the bike
Next week is the Eldorado Springs 4M night race on Thursday - with free beer
SATURDAY
A good time in Westminster. A good race - 47:43 for a pleasantly surprising 7:41 pace. Good for 20th place. Plenty of food and drink after. Sadly did not place top 3 in my age group as the medals were cowbells
Did a short run on this random trail while we were looking at a house - the Goat Trail. Short as in under a mile but over 600' of gain. This includes me going the wrong way up a very sketchy side trail
FRIDAY
Dry Creek with Hud. We ran a loop but then walked back to the bridge with Kingston the Collie. As we got to the parking lot Dick and Trouble were coming in so we went to the bridge and back with them. 3.1 miles
Went to the track before work for 5 laps - 2 "fast" but sadly the "fastest" was a 7:36 pace. Goal for tomorrow is 55:51 (just under a 9-minute pace). I assume one day this summer I'll be able to run fast again...
THURSDAY
Dry Creek at a nice 9-minute pace with Hud
5.75 mile bike ride with 250' in the evening to check out a possible house
WEDNESDAY
Dry Creek early am - a slow jog on a surprisingly cool morning. 2.1 miles
An intentionally slow jog on Bobolink before the heat. 3.2 miles
Signed up for Saturday's 20th Annual Holy Cow Stampede 10K today. I can only hope the shirt has a logo as cool as 2007's:
7.7 mile bike ride in the evening with 175'
TUESDAY
Dry Creek with Hud early am but he was tired and ended up playing with a good stick. Tumbles stole it for awhile but Hud set him straight
Green Mountain after - finally broke 90 minutes for first time since June 14th. Positive - but 20 minutes back of May 13th's sub-70 minute run. Oh well...
Here's my buddy the Chipmunk on the summit again
9 mile bike ride in the evening with the missus
MONDAY
Dry Creek with Hud early am. Warm and he was lolly-gagging. 2.1 miles
Bobolink just after 9am and my car was 96F at the end. 6.85 miles with 140' at a decent (of late) 9-minute pace
Official pic from the Eldora 10K - suffice to say I will not be purchasing
8 mile bike ride with the missus in the evening
