Wheeler Farm Loops

AM - 10 miles. Golden Gate Park, similar to yesterday.

PM - 2.5X wine tasting/tours.

San Francisco was very fun - although it was chilly and foggy in the city for the majority of the weekend, so we spent most of Saturday in Marin County, and then all day Sunday in the vineyards of Sonoma.

AM - 12 miles.

PM - 8 miles. Thunderstorm!

AM - 13 miles. LT Reps: 3 x 3000m (600m) in 9:30.8 avg. HHS track. Thought about pushing this to later in the week after not getting my normal amount of sleep for several nights in a row, but it worked out fine and wasn't too hard to put them in the target range (9:30-33). Another small improvement from last week.

PM - 6 miles.

AM - 16 miles.

PM - 6 miles.

AM - 12 miles.

PM - 9 miles.

Read this morning that a local guy died on/around Capitol Peak. I did a (relatively unwise in retrospect) solo ascent of that mountain in 2008. Sharp ridges, constant exposure. Unforgiving terrain around there. I remember feeling a sense of relief when I got back to my jeep that day.

AM - 14 miles. 20 x 200m (200m) in 34.2 avg. HHS track.

PM - 8 miles. 

Got bloodwork done this morning. HGB, HCT, and Ferritin were at all time lows in early June (14.3, 42.1, 61). Based on how I'm feeling, I'd expect the numbers will look significantly better this time. Should get results back next week - closest hematocrit guess wins a dollar...

AM - 24 mile long run. Park City - Snyderville Basin loop. Averaged 6:45/mile. First 20 w/ Fritz and Josh, then tacked on an extra out and back on the dirt path. I really like this route... I feel like I get the stimulus I need, but I recover a lot quicker than I would from an equally long run at Jeremy Ranch.
