9 AM:  8 miles averaging 8:18pace.  Easy cruise around Davidson Mesa after the gym.  Waited to long to start this run.  Did not start until 9am and overheated the last 2.5 miles or so.  Last mile or so was run/walk due to the heat.  Today was a slog-fest for sure.  Should have ran first then gone to the gym at 9:15 instead.  Live and learn....


Wednesday:  
 
7:20 AM: 6.2 miles w/ 1500ft of gain averaging 10:15pace.  Parked at the Fowler trailhead and ran into Eldorado State Park where I did my hill repeats on the start of the Walker Ranch connector trail.  Steep as hell....  might have been a little to steep for this workout for I was power hiking hard at the end of a few of the intervals due to blowing up.  Each interval gained just under 200ft in 0.2 miles or so.  Felt slow today all the way around but got it done.  Should have ran a longer warm/cool down, they were only 2.2 miles, should have done 3 or more but tight on time this morning.



 
9:15 AM: 1 hour at Crossfit right after the run...  Not my smartest decision.  I was wiped.

8:15 AM:  7.9 miles averaging 8:19pace.  Done a few mins after the gym session.  Plotting-fest run today.... just plodding around the east side of Louisville.  Legs are tired from yesterday for sure.  Feel like I am almost starting over again.  LOL....  Some days are good with no effort and others are not. This was a not day. ;o)

 3:15 PM:  12 mile bike ride in 57 mins.  Easy neighborhood riding.  Mixture of crush gravel trails and road.  Found Paula out for her run and chatted with her for a bit.  Super hot!  Glad I ran this morning instead of this afternoon like she was.

8:15 AM:  4.1 miles averaging 8:09 pace.  Had to stop by work to look at some parts that came in so did the run around the Louisville Tech Center roads.  Super chill even stopping a few time to stretch out the calves.  They have been super tight lately.  Today was most likely due to the all the double-unders I just did right before running.

2 PM: 

Saturday:

7 AM: 6.3 mile walk around Louisville in 1:35.  Legs were shit so just walked a bunch instead then hit the gym.  Losing my motivation to run for whatever reason.  Need to figure that out.

Rest

- this one was rougher than it looks.  Partners with Nick and Tommy, one person per station rotating.

11 AM:  So Nick at the gym (partner in the workout above) owns a custom bike shop and hooked me up!!  We have been chatting about this for over a year.  So pumped, came home with this awesome bike today.  Think her name will be Huckleberry.  It is a custom LENZ Mammoth in the Premium package. https://lenzsport.com/product/mammoth/.  It is a locally made bike with high end components on it including carbon wheels and a SRAM Eagle drive train.  Way to much bike for my ability right now but hopefully some day I can get good enough to get the potential out of this bike.




2:00 PM:  11.1 mile bike ride with 500ft of vert.  Had to at least take out the new bike for a little bit this afternoon before the storms rolled in.  Just an easy spin around the neighorhood on the bike with a combo of crushed gravel trails and roads connecting them.


Sunday:

10 AM:  13.2 mile bike in 1:15 w/ 900ft of vert.  Easy ride from the house on the gravel bike.  Just super unmotivated to run this weekend so grabbed the bike instead to at least move.  Hopefully it will help me get ready for GT in 4 weeks.  Trails are to wet to take out the new MTB from all the rain last night so this will have to do.  Spent the rest of the morning and the first part of the afternoon watching the final day of the Crossfit games.


3 PM:  51 mins lifting and 15 mins in the sauna.  Heading over to VASA to do an easy leg day on the machines over there.  I don't get quite as sore from leg machines verses free weights.  Also does not put as much stress on the bad knee.  Going to focus on building it back up the next few months.  Followed weights with a 15 min sauna session.


Total Weekly Numbers

A shitty running week but at least I made up for it with biking and gym time.  Not very motivated to run much this weekend and didn't at all.  Just biked and walked... oh well.


 

July's Total Monthly Numbers

Just realized that I did not post July's numbers in last week's post.  Of course there is Hardrock in there along with a taper and recovery.
