AM - 11 miles. Big loop around Stagecoach Reservoiir. Great trail - a wide, smooth dirt path the hugs the water.

PM - 5 miles. Along the river again.

Steamboat has a river running right through the town (and entire valley), and paired with an excellent free bus system, it's easy to see why river tubing is extremely popular here. We bought some tubes and cruised the river this afternoon. Lots of fun!

AM - 12 miles. Yampa River trail with a brief detour on Howlsen Hill trails. Followed by more river tubing.

PM - 4 miles. Evening run after getting back to SLC.

Some more photos from Steamboat Springs and the Zirkel Circle. Every trip to Colorado makes some part of me want to move back to a Colorado ski town. Or, at the very least, make more frequent trips to them!

AM - 10 miles.

PM - 6 miles.

For some reason I had an idea stuck in my head that Chicago was 12 weeks from July 4th weekend, and on the drive home from Steamboat we were discussing potentially shifting the timeline to a Nov/Dec target because my fitness is poor at the moment (May/June were definitely a regression) and it's going to take some time to rebuild. Then we actually counted and it turns out I have 14 weeks, which is a world of difference for me right now. I'm very motivated to get going, but I'm also essentially starting this buildup from scratch and need some more time before I start the workout cycle. Luckily I have two things going for me - I don't mind training in the heat, and I can handle jumping straight to 100 mile weeks as I start putting down a mileage base. With consistency and patience (lots of patience!), I think there is enough time to get ready for a marathon by October. I'm not going to repeat 2013's summer racing frenzy (it would be ugly, anyways). Gradual, incremental fitness progression is the primary objective for the rest of the summer... the more boring this looks, the better. I don't really need to commit to Chicago until September so I'll train for a couple months and then make the call based on how things are going.

AM - 20 mile long run. Hilly-ish first 15 up around the U w/ Josh and Kotter, then finished on the grass at SHP. Avg ~7:10 pace.

Emma Coburn broke the US steeple record today in Glasgow after being close several times already this year - video. The last lap is really a battle!
