1/2 mile warm up to a good 6.2 mile effort on the boulder field trails. Legs felt great but I was weezing like an 85 year old smoker. Allergies or worse??.  Hope its nothing, really want a good run next weekend...! 

6.2 miles, 7:18 pace, 560 vert. 

Total for day: 9 miles including some hiking/jogging with the little fast feet.

I should add that I feel like my hip/quad injury seems to be holding up to the increase in miles and effort the past couple of weeks.  I plan to continue to bike 1-2x p/wk for a bit, but will most likely make the bike days doubles with running. Hoping to be back up to 80 mile weeks with 15,000+ vert again by April. Its been a while.....

Hip/quad injury?!? Nooooooo! Get better cuz biking blows...

Jon, Most likely no...but I got in on the lotery so...maybe.

Lulu, yep, injured IT Band, hip flexor, and inner quad/groin at the Bear 100 in September, so it's going on 7 months of healing for that one. Amazing what a sore hip at mile 18 can turn into 80 miles later. Slow but steady progress...I agree biking blows, especially on the trainer.
