This week has been a challenge just to be active for some reason. I have been tired and run down all week. It just seems like I am not recovering like I was last year from my workouts. By the end of the week I had a raging head cold. Good times. Anyway here is the breakdown for the week.
Monday: Off.. Took the day off work also and just relaxed. Even went to the movies.
Tuesday: Run 6.25 miles on the treadmill @ easy pace; 45 mins lifting weights
Wednesday: Easy run at Green Mountain to the top and back (4.5 miles)
Thursday: Run 6.25 miles on the treadmill @ easy pace; 30 mins lifting weights
Friday: Run road around Green Mountain the home over the top of Green Mountain (9.5 miles) Sore throat starting
Saturday: Run around Green Mountain for 12-13 miles. Turning into head cold
Sunday: Hike Pikes Peak via Crags route (14.5 miles, 4400 feet of gain, 8.5 hours, suffered due to feeling like crap from the cold, it was a long day but willed myself through it.
Total miles ran this week: 38.50 miles
Total hours for the week: 16 hours (8.5 spent on Pikes hiking)
It was a productive week overall, it was nice to get my 1st 14er summit for 2008 out of the way. That will make me 1 out of 3 for the year, not a good start. I was pretty much uneventful hike but I did suffer due to the head cold I had. Pounding head ache and could not breath because I was stuffed up. Hope this goes away, I want to put in over 60 miles this coming week running. We will see. Here is the link to all the pictures from the hike on Pikes. I am not going to write up a trip report like I usually do because this is such a common mountain for a lot of people. One thing that I will say is that the road and the building on top sure is an eye sore on such a pretty mountain.
