Easy and very enjoyable 6 on the trails late.  Funny what a day off does, ran easy but felt good to have a bit of pep on the hills and good turnover in the legs.  500 vert.

Nice easy paced 9 miles on the Boulder field loops with some BST loopage as well.  Nice weather has brought out the strange folks and the miscellaneous trail runners.  For months the only runners out were the local ultra guys and the dedicated trail runners, most of whom I know.  Now all sorts of folks out jogging around, kinda miss having my trails all to myself.  Tis the season I suppose, kinda like first part of January at the gym.

9 miles or so, guessing 8-900 vert.

Easy, very low energy 5 on the trails in the rain. Several new runners out again despite the down pour. Felt pretty worked for some reason.

What a disaster this run was! Last night's run was low energy and generally crappy, felt winded and legs felt trashed. In fact my legs have felt trashed all week even though my miles have been down.  Felt alright for the first 3 miles or so, then progressively worse, to the point I almost wanted to call for ride home at Rainbow on the way back through.  I 've had a little nagging soreness in my hip/upper quad and it went nuts tonight, super painful for the last 5 miles.  Got home, tired, limping and shivering.  All in all pretty miserable run. Luckily I had an ART appointment schedualed for Friday afternoon that helped hugely witth sore hip thing.  Attributing the fatigue to a low level cold that's trying to become front and center.  Not a full lung buster yet, hoping it stays away as I have a race in a week!!

12 miles, 1800 vert, slow

Feeling the slight cold, substitute 1 hour run for an hour and a half nap and 10 hours of sleep! Gotta kill this bug before it gets a foothold.  ART helped with the hip/quad soreness, though it's still a bit tender. 

No running.  First day off during the week since mid December, well except the Friday befrore Red Hot 50K.

Slept in hard this morning, then took it easy all morning feeling out this lurking sickness.  By 11 or so things felt o.k. so I slowly got dressed and headed out for a tentative run on the BST North.  Ran very easy the whole way out, passing Joel, Aric, and the go fastie on their way back.  Felt o.k., hip wasn't too much of an issue, got a little sore coming back. Kept my heart rate low and just cruised.  Actually felt good to just run that easy, really enjoyed it.  Met a new trail runner at the turn-around, a gu from California that moved here a few months ago, he's gonna love this place for the trails! There is still some life in this bug, so tomorrow will be a deep rest day. Hip/quad tight tonight, stretch, roll, rest.  C'mon body, I know I ask alot of you, but pull through this one quick, please!

11 miles, 1600 vert, very easy pace
