“The most effective way to do it, is to do it.” - Amelia Earhart

3 PM: Mountain Biking for 14.1 miles w/ 1000ft of climbing.  Testing out a possible new mountain bike I might buy on a loop of the Dirty Bizmark with Paula.  First time we have rode together and of course I had to work a little bit to keep up since this is her sport of choice.  LOL..  Went through the upper part of Marshall Mesa which is the first time I have been here since the fire, sad and beautiful at the same time.  The lower part of Marshall Mesa is still closed.  The bike was fantastic!  May try to get out on it a few more times this week before making up my mind.




Tuesday:  

9 AM:  8.7 mile run w/ 700ft of vert averaging 7:49pace.  Easy combo of Costco loop and Dirty Bizmark trails again. Great combo of dirt roads and trails with some vert. Fucking wind again today but not nearly as bad as last week. Feeling good.

Workout: 2-3 miles easy, 3 x 3/2/1 min fast with 1 min easy between intervals and 3 min easy between sets, 2 miles easy. Think 10k effort to start, with light progression as you go! Optional easy double

Done from the Flatirons Vista trail head over to Springbrook where I did 2 laps doing the intervals then back the same way over Dowdy Draw.  Felt super slow today on the easy run parts and the intervals.  Maybe due to it being 19 degrees?  Don't know... anyways the effort was there on the intervals even if the pace was not and made the easy part super easy which skewed the overall pace of course.  May need a nap after lunch.  LOL

Thursday:   

7 AM:  10.1 miles w/ 2800ft of vert averaging 11min miles.  Knocked out 2 laps of Mount Santias this morning going up the ridge and down Lions. Power hiked up and jogged down... Overall felt really good, second lap was better than the first one which I thought was weird.

Friday:  

8 am: 6.1 miles w/ 500ft of vert averaging 7:35 pace.  Easy out and back on the Dirty Bizmark starting and ending at the Coalton Trailhead.  Just chill and enjoying the sun with little wind for a change.  Average pace at the end surprised me considering my pace the past few days.  Never looked at the watch except to see when to turn around.

Saturday:

7 AM:  20.1 miles with 5600ft of vert done in just over 4 hours.  Great day out there today.  Had Donnie join me and we just grind out 4 laps of Santias.  Up the steep ridge and down Lions...  Was expecting lap 4 to be a grind but actually it was our 2nd fastest lap.  The first lap was the slowest which surprised me.  This worked out great to only carry a water bottle and refuel each lap at the car.  May be doing this more in the coming weeks.  Tired afterwards of course and took a nap before going out with Paula in the evening.  Awesome day!  Here is a summit shot from each lap.  Yes that is Jeff in the 3rd shot, ran into him hiking with the family.




Evening: Went over to Luki Brewery to watch GZ and Spare Change play with Paula.  Never been here before and was a cool brewery.  The food truck was serving rattlesnake and elk hot dogs which of course we had.  Could not tell the difference.  Some new tunes from the band tonight that I have not heard them play before.







Sunday:

 9 AM:  10.5 miles with 3100ft of vert in just over 2 hours.  Parked at NCAR and ran Mesa Trail to Bluebell to Amp to Green Summit down Bear Canyon back to the side of NCAR then up the hill to the truck.  Little more vert on this run than I thought.  LOL... Took it super easy and lots of hiking heading up Amp to the top of Green of course.



2 PM: 3 miles in an hour walk.  Geocaching with Paula along the Coal Creek trail while on an afternoon walk.  So fun!
