Ran 2.51 miles in 30:44.  AHR 154, 75% of max, HR Range 148-163, 25:30 in zone, peak 169, cal 711 based on 232 lbs.  Ran at 9 in the evening, temp was 64 very nice for running.

Put in a much faster time than previously and didn't push myself as hard.  AHR lower, peak heart rate lower, and time in zone higher, because I didn't push myself after last turn toward house.  Must mean I am making some progress.

 When I was out on my run through the neighborhood I smelled smoke from what smelled like a campfire.  It didn't smell like a barbecue.  I make a turn and run about 2/3 of a mile and there is a firepit in someones driveway with tons of kids out riding bikes.  I was surprised how far I could smell the smoke and had some sympathy for all you runners putting in outside miles in the colder climates.

That mind as well have been German. I didn't understand a word. You did though and that's all that matters. Welcome to the blog.

Glad to see you like being in the mountains. Trailrunning and peak bagging are my true passion too. And you are a fan of Crockett already. That alone means you've got your head in the right place.

Welcome.

If I can offer advice in light of your goals, it would simply be to be as consistent as possible. Looks like you're going out about every other day, which is fine for what you are looking to accomplish. Even if you only get a mile or two in, do everything you can to keep up going out every other day. You do that for a few weeks, you will accomplish your goal for sure.
