Estes Park YMCA - 39+

Solo at 7 a.m. Ran on some different trails and roads nearby the camp. I was really suffering today. 8000' is not great for the out of shape. Great views though, and still very enjoyable.

2 mile wo; 4 mile fartlek; 2 mile wd

Great evening on the greenbelt. I have made a commitment to get back into shape and hopefully today's run was the first step. On the fartlek, I did 1:30 on and 2:30 off for 4 miles. The on segments were at 5k effort (I didn't time them, but would estimate them to be in the 5:30-5:50 range). The downpoint was my achilles acting up and my left foot falling asleep. That hasn't happened for a long time. My calves - my body in general really - is probably stiff from 2 days of driving.

Hillcrest Loop - 49:55

Worst run in recent memory. The problem was due to getting really low on blood sugar, then drinking some powerade and eating a gel right before the run. By mile 2, I was dizzy and had blurry vision. I felt like I was on drugs (in a bad way). The last 4 miles were really rough. This happens to me about once or twice a year, so I'm not worried about it. I would have been better off just running without eating or drinking anything, even though I was really hungry and fatigued before the run. Live and learn.

Ann Morrison Park - 47:06

Had to run over to the Rosehill house, so I decided to run at Ann Morrison. Most of it in the dark but that's ok. Did a few hill strides up and down Americana to turn the legs over a bit. Sluggish tonight.

Greenbelt - 1:13

Mat and I ran from Willow Lane onto the Garden City/Eagle Path. It was cloudy but very muggy and I struggled a lot throughout the run. Despite that, we probably averaged about 7:15-7:20 which wasn't too bad given our fitness levels and an afternoon summer day.
