-- was going to do a cold plunge (33 degrees) but it was frozen to much to get in, about 2 inches of ice on top.  Damn it.  Going to go get one of those cattle water heater they make for the water troughs to prevent this I think.  The ice was to jagged around the edge after I hammered through it and was worried about cutting myself on it as I got in and out.  Got in the hot tub for 20 mins instead.

--  Got about a mile of running in this workout including the warmup.  Super tired for I have been up since 3am in order to take Paula to the airport for a 5:30am flight.


1 PM: 6 miles averaging 8:20pace.  Easy cruise from the Quail house with Darian over into the Westminster Hills and back on Dry Creek. Awesome afternoon out there in the mid 60s and sunny.

--- Got a surprise in the mail today.  Christmas in November.


3 PM: Walk 2.7 miles in 42mins.  Easy dog walk around the hood after running with Darian.  Needed to get her out since Paula is gone until next Friday in Texas.  Most likely will be a lot of dog jogs and walks this week, she has been doing them the last few weeks as I have been upping my mileage for my event in 2 weeks.

-- Put the call out this evening to get some drinks at Whistling Hare, my favorite place locally for an old fashion.  Rey answered the call.


Saturday: 
8 AM:  14.9 miles w/ 1000ft of vert averaging 9min pace. Easy combo of trails on the Dirty Biz loop doing a few out and backs from Costco in Superior with Donnie. Just a last super easy long run before the taper starts tomorrow. I am tired after today and legs are shit today. Did a nice superman as well catching my toe on the only rock on the whole trail at Marshall Mesa. Knees are bruised, bloody, and sore now.

4 PM: Walk 1.75 miles in 31mins.  Afternoon dog walk with Venus.

Sunday:  
8 AM: 8.2 miles w/ 500ft of vert averaging 10min pace. Super mellow trail time with Rebecca out by the Boulder Rez.  Joined her halfway through her run. Good to change up the location for me.  Taper started today.... that was a cramming effort the past 2 weeks.  

10 AM: Walk 1.7 miles in 27 mins.  Easy dog walk right after the run with Venus. Followed by time in the hot tub to loosen up.  Joints are sore from the fall yesterday.




Total Weekly Numbers
Solid week overall, I will take it.  Next week will be a taper week of around 35-40 miles before the jog on the 17th.  Tired this morning while typing this.  The time change has me getting up at 3am the last 2 days.  Hopefully will adjust to that soon.
