"Confidence is the freedom to set your own standards and unshackle yourself from the need to prove yourself." -Ryan Holiday
-- This photo of Venus pretty much sums up how I have been feeling all week.....
Monday:
Woke up feeling like I was run over by a truck while I was sleeping. Took the day completely off from working out just to be on the safe side. I think that it is from the drastic weather change last night plus a little touch of something. Hope so and that I am not getting full blown sick. Needed DayQuil to function normally today at work.
Tuesday:
9 AM: 5.1 miles averaging 8:20pace. Easy cruise from work around the CTC. Shorter today for I still feeling
the sickness that hit me yesterday. Better overall but needed to move
some. Trying to build up some daily momentum again which is always easier said than done.
Wednesday:
10 AM: 5 miles averaging 7:15 pace. Easy lap of Davidson plus a few extra to get my 5 miles today. Today
things seem to be turning a corner. I ran at what felt like an easy
pace but much quicker than yesterday. Hopefully we are coming back.
Plan this week is 5-6 miles at an easy RPE this whole week.
2 PM: Walk 1.6 miles with Venus in 25mins since Paula left today for Michigan until Monday. She is going out there to pace her friend Erica at the Wolverine 100. May have to put that one on the calendar in the next few years if Paula likes it.
3 PM: 30mins Garage gym session- Super light leg session for range of motion.

Thursday:
10 AM: 5 miles averaging 7:15pace. Easy cruise at Davidson again. Body feels great but this head cold is
getting worse, all in the sinuses. Came home from work so I don't get
others sick. Most likely will work from home tomorrow as well which I am sure Venus loves since Paula is out of town all weekend.
2 PM: Walk 1.5 miles in 25min followed by 20 mins in the hot tub. Hoping that doing a bunch of heat exposure will help whatever this head cold is. Tired of hacking shit up all week.
Friday:
8 AM: 5.6 miles w/ 400ft of vert averaging 7:15pace. Out and back going west from the Coalton trailhead up the hill. Super
chill effort wise but the body felt good this morning even though I was
stuffed up from this head cold. Think I am finally getting into a
groove and will start increasing the daily mileage again.
3 PM: Easy 2 mile walk with Venus followed by a 5K row in the garage gym. Followed this all up with another 20mins in the hot tub. Hoping that the hot tub will help get rid of this stupid cold and help get ready for the heat of pacing at Javalina in 3 weeks.
Saturday:
8 AM: 8 miles w/ 400ft of vert averaging 7:20pace. Easy cruise from Stern's Lake doing the 8 mile loop over to Link Lake
and across the hwy and back. Good 8 mile loop both close to work and
home. Super chill and was raining on and off during the run.
10 AM: Another 2 mile walk with Venus and 20mins of hot tub.
Sunday:
7:30 AM: 12.3 miles w/ 900ft of vert averaging 7:35pace. Sunday Long Run with the Boulder Track Club. Time to get back to these.
Turned into sort of a progression run where the last few miles were
faster than the beginning by quite a bit. Will miss next week since I
will be house sitting in South Denver so made it a point to go today.
Had plans to cut it short before the start but so glad that I did not,
felt much better than I thought I would.
Noon: Another 2 mile walk with Venus and 20mins of hot tub.
