Early AM - (3 miles) Started day of with a 1 mile easy and then ran with the cadets during Ranger Challenge 2 mile run. Ran 2 miles in 11:03 on a hilly dirt road course in the dark. Later AM - (12.9 miles) Later on ran 12.9 miles in the hills on an out and back course at 6000ft. The first half was pretty much all up except for three small decents which made it tough, the way back was much easier. I through in two miles at marathon pace (sub 6:00) on the way back. The elevation gain for the first 6 miles was 1,551 feet, needless to say the way back was much easier and much faster. I am still a bit in shock from the news of the trials today. What a trajedy and unfortunate event. I am off to Reno for another conference tomorrow. I hope to squeeze in as many miles as I can. I won't be back until Thursday.
