Wow, what a Monday! Early am workout at the gym, 10 miles on the treadmill at 5:35 pace. Just about 100% effort this morning to do that, just killed me. But I think it could be the fastest treadmill tempo I've survived. I'll have to look back on some workouts. Then worked on putting a new engine in the boat until noon so I could feel like I "worked" today.
Since we got 6 inches of new, surprise powder last night I took out the xcountry skis and scoped out mountain routes to do for the rest of the day. I settled on trying to reach Naomi Peak, the highest point around Cache County at 10,000 feet. I'll update later when I have more time and can pull off times and points from the GPS, but this was the best ski trip I've had in a while! I kept up a fast tempo going up, crossing two ranges to meet up with the Tony Grove trail, no breaks until hitting the 7 mile lake at 8,000 feet. Pure virgin snow, first tracks all the way up! From Tony Grove I had to make some decisions since it was snowing, but decided to do the remaining 2.2 miles and 2,000 foot climb to the peak. Just about froze above the 9,000 foot level. This was the longest xcountry ski trip for me in 5 years.
Such an amazing trail and good workout. I am still on such a high from this incredible country. Pretty awesome to keep the heartrate and tempo up for that long as well. No way I could have held that for a long run. |

Long trail run Pima County trailhead to South Mountain and back, side spurs of Ridgline, Javeline, and Beverly Canyon south of Phoenix, AZ. Very hard night run started at 8pm and done with a headlamp until about midnight. Numerous small ridges wirh South Mountain at 2,200 feet. Utterly exhausted... |

| 14.2 mile run on the Demoine Creek trail down to Demoine Marina and back in Seattle. 4 miles easy getting the kinks out from yesterday and then 10 at 6:30 pace. If there was a trail in the world the exact opposite from the trail in Phoenix yesterday, this is it. Covered in ferns and moss, flat and easy to run fast on. Huge trees covered in green. Neat run. |

With nothing but trail running the last few months I was looking forward to getting in a 5K this morning. We stayed at Rob's for the night since the kids have been driving me crazy to spend time with theirs again. It was a fun evening. I had to get in a 3 mile warm up before the race since this week was some of the best trail running I have had in a long time, but I was so sore. No idea how this would work today.
The start was a mess since Bill wasn't organizing the race anymore. (Thanks Bill) At least it was great to talk to Adam and Acorn for a few minutes before the mad rush of high school kids running a 4:30 mile pace trampled us, lol! Everybody seemed to slow way down in half a mile and I got out ahead of the pack to try and catch my pace. I really would have liked a 15 minute today but just didn't have the pop in the legs for it. Two runners passed me on the flat section and I wasn't able to catch them again until the race turned downhill. I could see my pace was slower than 15 but just didnt have anyone around to race with and pretty much wimped out. I really miss the ridiculous competition this race used to have. Maybe next year.
Jumped with the kids in Bounce Around Utah with Rob for a few hours and went on a nice 10 miler. |
