Had a good quote for the week then it did not apply anymore so deleted it. Crewel Jewel last week and being back in the 100 race environment seemed to help the first part of the week with motivation then the snow came and put me into a huge funk again. Don't know how to get out of this and honestly thinking of walking away from racing for the rest of the year and taking time off. That includes Hardrock... just might go on pause for a while.
Monday:
11 AM: Took the day completely off due to traveling and so damn hungover from all the drinking I did yesterday. Could not tell you the last time I was that drunk and was still drunk when I got up at 4am to head to the airport. LOL.
Tuesday:
7 AM: 8.6 miles with 1400ft of vertical averaging 9:30 pace.
Easy cruise from the South Mesa Trailhead along the Mesa trail and back. What a great damn morning out there! Felt great today which surprised me considering how damn hungover I was yesterday. Best run I've had in a while. Did not feel the calf at all but did afterwards for a little bit.

Up Bear Canyon- Mesa- down Shanahan where I did the intervals then jog back to the car in reverse. Felt the calf again today so not happy about that. Overall pace is of course slower and shorter in distance due to steeper hills and trail verses doing this on the NCAR road like I have been the past month or so. Very pleased with this run overall.

Thursday:
7 AM: 8 miles w/ 2800ft of vert averaging 15:50pace. From South Mesa trailhead up Shadow Canyon to the top of Bear Peak and back. Had to hike the first 1-1.5 miles out of the trailhead to get the calf to loosen then it became a hike anyways with the steepness of the trail. Was going to add on at the end to get closer to 10 but decided against it due to the calf and trashed legs. Super chill for the most part.
Evening: Spent the evening with Paula over at Rails End watching GZ jam out during open mic night. Think we might be turning into groupies...
Friday-Sunday
Did nothing all weekend..... barely left the house after the snow hit. Of course that trashed my large tree out front The only time I left the house all weekend is when Paula talked me into going out to brunch and to the bike store with her on Saturday morning. That was the only time in 3 days that I got out of my flannel pj's. Hell, I am still in them this Monday morning as I am typing this. This photo sums up the whole weekend for me... how do I get out of this? Worse it has been since 2015.
Get out with the Donster.
