I'll take "months that begin with the letter M" for $100
AM run: Deer Creek
SO, today Stephanie had an epiphany. That I am truly a ditz, and no, not faking it in a cute way. TRULY a ditz. So, after getting lost on my way to meet her for an epic run (Steph-I got lost ont he way oout as well-the same way I got lost coming in), she also realized that I mix up my months as well...March, May--they both begin with "MA" so its easy to se ehow I get confused...
Missing my workout in Boulder due to strange communication issues, I was able to get a hold of super Steph for a meet up. She decided that we needed to do some hill work, and OH BOY! Did we! After making a wrong turn and then overshooting our meeting place, she "pulled me over" in her car and led me to the parking area.
It was in the 40's already, so gorgeous day to run in Deer Creek. hopefully she will have some data on our verts cuz they were amazing! Still feeling pretty flat, so the hills REALLY kicked my bum. Stephanie, however, darted up and down them (waiting patiently for me to slog my way...) and then would dart away for more. Good Times! We did a two-fer and decided to make this our long day with some hills thrown in.
Our final real uphill was 1.5 miles up! (mine was probably closer to 1.4, cuz screamin' Stepahnie gapped me pretty good). Down hills felt ok, but I didn't really feel my wheels moving until around the 11 mile mark, where we were able to motor for a bit on a slight downhill. SO, 13 for the morning in 1:50, which I thought was pretty darn good considering the hillage!
PM:
Went home and ate some good ZA! (Yes, Stephanie, I had good intentions to eat some eggs and then go move furniture, but my patient cancelled on me and instead, I broke up ice and shoveled snow for almost 2 hours...so pizza it was!!) Watched the mile races for the Huskie invite, as my son's team was competing at UW. Took a quick rinse and quick nap, woke up to squeeze in a few more miles befoer the sun went down AND in time to watch the 3k and try to watch my HS'er Brandon at the Great Southwest Invite in ALBQ (his brother, coincidentally, was running at UW as well).
SO, not quite the additional 6 that I hoped for (ran out of time and got REALLY hungry), but knocked out an easy, sleazy 4. Time for chocolate, live feed track meets and LOTS of sleep!
