Saturday: 
6 AM:  3.1 miles averaging 8:20pace. Easy jog with Venus before Paula and I head over to Dirt Circus in Boulder to have fun.

9 AM: 6.7 miles w/ 1000ft of vert in 1:05. Dirt Circus group run lead by Andy Wacker. He is a cool dude. Lots of chatting with him on racing and training.  He was asking a lot of questions about 100s and Hardrock, I would bet we will see him dip his toe in the next few years. This was a really cool free event put on by Ultrasignup that Paula and I had a great time at, lots of free shit and saw lots of Boulder running friends there.





Sunday:  
9 AM:  7.25 miles averaging 7:25pace.  2 easy laps of Davidson Mesa and one of Harper Lake. Best I have felt in a long time running and today felt like an easier effort. Calf is now resolved. Have not felt it in a few days.  

--Also had about 3 miles of walking throughout the day with the dog just to get outside more.  I have been thinking of trying a 100 mile loop course this spring for something different and flat.  The flattest 100 miler I have ran has been Leadville so everything has basically been in the mountains.  Been pondering a flat road one.  Found one in NC that interest me more than running around a 1 mile loop in Vegas that I was thinking about.  This one in NC is 100 mile point to point with only 1000ft total connecting a bunch of islands.  I will make a decision in the next few weeks so I can start really training.




Total Weekly Numbers

Solid week finally.  Calf held up and do not feel it anymore.  Monday morning as I am typing this I did a bunch of jump roping this morning to really test it and did not feel it at all.  I am calling the calf healed now.  Now it is time to keep building the weekly mileage to get back to the normal 60-70 per week.  This next week or so may be challenging for Paula and I are heading to Corolla, North Carolina from Wed to Wed.  Really looking forward to checking out the outer banks area for a week.  Will be posting a lot of photos in Instagram and Facebook stories while I am there if interested.
