Cold and rainy at around laws neighborhood loop in Colorado, the rain killed my phone which kinda sucks. Great trip to have remembered my laptop.

Windy day, didn't have a great plan for what to do today so I just ran fast and did what I wanted to do. Ended up doing a 2 mile tempo in 10:49 and then some long pushes at sub 5 pace trying to get more relaxed at that pace.

Easy run around in laws neighborhood loop. Almost ran over a rattle snake. It's a nice loop, I think I'll be sick of it by the time I leave though.

Mountain in Boulder with Talon, lots of fun. Nice to get a break from the neighborhood loop. Next time I'm here I'll have to bring trail shoes so we can scramble the flatirons.

Easy with Jake and Henry. Felt pretty good, quads were slightly sore. 3 races in 4 weeks makes for an awkward taper.

Sauna after the run.
