"Engaging in a little suffering — however self-imposed, arbitrary and contrived — before breakfast each morning tends to demand some humility and injects some marked relief into the rest of the day, making things sharper, more inspired, more immediately aware of the powerful presence of being. And that seems really worthwhile." A. Krupicka
"I cruised down hills, churned up hills, and floated over the asphalt, existing in a world that seemed to lack the confinements of such ubiquitous rivets as time, obligation, or pain. I knew then that this was destined to be one of those serendipitous runs for which so many of
us strive yet so rarely achieve." J. Nevels

the weather had been so mild this morning and i was really looking forward to a longer run but by the time i got out the door a north wind picked up and got so strong at times that it was almost pushing me backwards. then the hail started. the weather got progressively, comically worse as the run went on so i cut it short.

| | no running today. traveling to Leadville Colorado to run the Heavy Half in the morning. a race which i have absolutely NO business running. looking forward to getting out for a day in the mountains though. should be interesting.
|
| |
| Race: |
Leadville Heavy Half Marathon (15.5 Miles) 03:21:17, Place overall: 104, Place in age division: 6 | | this was kind of a spontaneous trip as my buddy Craig had decided wednesday he was going to run the Leadville marathon saturday and asked if i wanted to do it too. this year i've been running about 30 miles a week average. all roads, not one trail run, no runs over 12 miles. uh...no Craig, i'm not going to go run the leadville marathon this weekend. thanks, have a good time. so he tells me they have a half marathon. i could run that. i could do real well. no Craig, i'm not really running this year, i have no business running a 15.5 mile run that starts at 10,152 ft and runs up to 13,781 feet before coming back down. i'll explode, it will be a real mess. but, sais Craig, they have free bananas. oh well then, yes i'm in let's go! yeah, so made the eight hour drive late friday, slept a little, got up saturday morning and ran. i had absolutley no idea what to expect but i had looked up the previous years results and based a goal time on what the leaders ran, and also how the other 50-59 year old geezers did. using my usual 20+/-% placing that i get at races i figured that if i were trained i could run it in the 3 to 3:15 range. but considering how ill prepared i was for this race, i told myself that getting in under four hours would be an accomplishment.
the race started at 8 am. the first couple of miles or so are uphill, then there's a bit of downhill before climbing again, relentlessly up to Mosquito pass. i skipped all the aid staions on the way up. i had a hand held bottle and the temps were cool. i walked quite a bit of the steep sections but made sure i was walking quickly, and i ran as much as possible. i tried to stay on it and not slack, and i steadily passed people all the way up and most of the way back down. the last mile or so of the climb was pretty intense. not only steep and very rocky, technical. all along the upper part of the course there was water runoff which created a little creek like surface and some muddy sections. finally with a couple of miles left to go my lack of fitness reared it's ugly but legitimate head and i crashed pretty hard. even walking for a couple of short moments downhill. i didn't care, i knew where i was at fitness wise and i was just surprised the crash didn't come sooner. my quads were shot and i could no longer open up on the flat downhill but just had to shuffle along to get it done. it was such a great course and crowd, and a well organized event. i'm looking forward to actually training for this run next time and seeing how much i can improve my time.
slowest mile was mile 7 @ 21:30, fastest was mile 15 @ 8:41. average pace for the run - 12:59
i placed 109/453 overall (24%), 53/257 dudes (21%), 6/30 geezers (20%).
WT 41.5 miles
|
|
| |
| | being out of shape means that recovery comes much slower after a tough run - even after two days off my quads still feel bruised from saturday's race, so i ran two easy ones on the treadmill with 5 minutes of fast walking before and after, hopefully this will help boost the recovery process along somewhat.

| | yep. the ol' achilles feels pretty jacked up today. i may try a gentle treadmill run on friday.

| | 3 miles easy on the treadmill. i think i've nipped an otherwise serious injury in the bud. the achilles wasn't nearly as painful after two days rest and today's 3 miles on the treadmill actually had it feeling a little stronger towards the end of the run. i think i'm going to stick to the treadmill for the next couple of runs and just continue to take it slow. before this injury, i was hoping to start "training" at the beginning of january for the winter series - but now i'll just have to play it by ear. i'll see how next week goes but todays jog was very positive.

| | 6 miles on the rio grande parkway. no achilles pain, just feels a little tired. i felt really good and wanted to run farther but decided to do the smart thing - hopefully i can maintain that attitude through the rest of this week.

| | 5 miles - easy street/crestview. things are okay with the achilles. going to take caution to the extreme for another week before speeding up in preparation for the 5k on feb. 7th - and the many races beyond.

year end summary: 2014
things started out sort of blah, finally rising to mediocre by october or thereabouts, then finished the year with a big whimper.
hopefully 2015 will bring better, and more, running.
