Go slow to go fast.

Schlarb is back.  Hence I have someone dragging me out of bed again at 6 am to go run Green mountain.  He said he has run it 4 times since he got back a week ago.  That's more than I have run it in the last 4 months I think.

Luckily he took it at a casual pace since he is racing at the north face 50 this weekend.  1:53 for the trip, 10 miles, 3K vert.  And it was an absolutely stunning morning run watching the sun rise over the valley from up on the mountain.  Great to be out there.

Nice morning run.  Watch out for Schlarb to mix it up this weekend in the top 5 I predict.  It's a hard race to call because it is probably more stacked than it was even last year.  But schlarb placed 5th last year in his first ultra and he's way better trained and experienced this year.  And he's actually going to be wearing shoes with traction instead of worn out road newtons.  It will be fun to see how it goes down. 

easy hour, didn't feel up to doing a workout, got to the track and bailed on that idea after 2 strides

Easy run, first hour with Scott and Jay, other trail runners in the south boulder scene.

easy hour at the FAC with Nan, too cold and snowy to want to run outside

10 easy miles across the mesa trail in the snow.  Nice afternoon run.

12 in the snowy cold conditions on the roads.  It wasn't too bad though.  Nice and easy morning enjoying a good listen to the current educational program I'm listening to.
