60 minutes bike.  High cadence, easy effort.

4 hours on the hill this morning.  Silty and wind blown, but pretty much had the place to myself.  Might almost trade a so so snow year for less crowds.  Doesn't matter how good the snow is if it's gone in 30 minutes.  I was still laying down side by side fresh tracks at 1:00 today....hmmm.

Got out for a slow and easy run tonight just before dark. Beautiful out tonight. Wasn't running much faster than the dog walkers, but if felt great to get out.  Soreness is gone.  hip/groin a little touchy but not too concerning.

Big work day.  Guess I gotta pay the piper once in a while.

Got out for a run late and felt like a plie of rocks.  Dragged the whole way.  Seemed everything hurt.  Sometimes they are like that I guess.  Coming down the hill to Rainbow, I actually turned left and ran up the Bird Song trail from for the first time ever.  Fun little diversion for sure. I just wish it went somewhere that didn't require a 1/2 mile on the road to get back to the trail or doing it as a long out-n-back.  I actually poked around a bit to try and find a way to link back to the BST, but no go.  Oh, and just for you Nick, I had some lady's damn German Shepherd charge me, plant two paws in my chest and lunge full teeth at the side of my head.  Followed up by "oh sorry, he's really friendly, I think he's just playing" I love dogs, but that one needed to be on a leash. 

6-7 miles, some hills, really easy pace.

Hour or so easy pace. Finally feeling a bit of pep in my legs agian. Well, compared to last night's slug-o-thon. Ran into Pablo and talked to him for a while in my broken spanish and his broken english. The one thing that came across without words was his excitment to be running. The kid can move fast! Hope he gets in a few races this year. I think I talked him into the Buffalo run. If he signs up, a bunch of people, myself included, will be finishing one spot further back.

17 miles, mostly relaxed pace.  A few pick ups in the middle including linking together a three fast-ish miles for a trail jogger.  Felt good to get out, legs felt pretty flat after about 6 miles, but all the rickety stuff felt pretty solid, which is really good. Longest training run since the before the Bear 100 in September....how long is that??...almost 6 months, geez injuries suck.

38 mostly really easy miles for the week, including a 3 mile equivalent for the hour on the bike Tuesday.  Not bad for a recovery week after a hard race.  Want to ramp it up a bit in the coming weeks if the body will take it.  

17 miles, 2800 vert, 9:15 ap.
