| AM: ~1.5 hr hike w/ hubby and pups. Nice relaxing day off. Made some gluten free vegetable lasagna and gluten free vanilla cake + cream cheese frosting (with pink food coloring in honor of bunny day). Delicious.

We got about 6" of snow yesterday and last night. The run was nice, just enough snow to make the uphills tough, but the downhills fun. My calves and ankles are a bit tired this evening though, lots of ankle rolling and some post holing.

Unplanned day off. Worked early, then two town meetings each ~3.5 hrs in length. Left the house at 5:30 for work and got home from the last meeting around 11pm. Luckily we got to come home after work and between the meetings for a little puppy play time. They still were not super happy with us though. Exhausting day.

AM: 5 on trails with pups in 12:41 avg pace. Avg elevation 8,500', 802' gain/loss. Avg heart rate:160, Max heart rate 176. Heart rate was slightly higher than normal today when I was getting ready for my run and that was sans coffee. I forgot to bring water to the two 3-4 hour board meetings last night and am pretty dehydrated today. Legs also felt like lead this morning despite taking yesterday off. Maybe just lack of sleep (~5.5 hours only)..wish I could take a nap today but the lab is calling and then another town meeting tonight. Ack. Sometimes I think I volunteer too much. Afternoon: Decided it was too beautiful of a day to be stuck inside a yoga class so I got on the day's tasks asap and finished my lab work early and then headed out for ~6 mile run on the Boulder Canyon trail. It was amazing. First, there is actually oxygen down here in Boulder! Who knew? Second, it's relatively flat... ahhh, so easy! Made for a nice easy jog on a beautiful spring day. Stats: 6.22 miles in 9:14 avg pace. Avg elevation: ~5,500', 394' gain/loss. Avg heart rate 158, Max heart rate: 170.

Wanted to go longer but didn't get up early enough (still a little tired from meetings earlier in the week). Will try for a longish run later. Afternoon: Meditative yoga.

| AM: 3 on roads with older pup, then ~3 more on trails with both pups in 11:37 avg pace. Avg elevation: 8,500', 948' gain/loss. Avg heart rate: 161, Max heart rate: 181. Felt pretty good this morning, beautiful weather.. not too hot, not too cold. Pretty much perfect. Although the snow that is still lingering is somewhat turning into cruddy ice- which makes navigation a bit more difficult and I haven't been wearing the microspikes. Might think about 3 more this afternoon, I think taking an easy day yesterday did my legs some good. |

| AM: Wow! It's chilly out there. Got down to the teens last night and suppose to again tonight. Low 20's for the run this morning with a fierce wind and spitting snow. Ran 3 miles by myself to get warmed up, then grabbed the pups for another ~5ish on the trails. Total: 8.17 in11:33 avg pace. Avg elevation: 8,500 with 1,170' gain/loss. Avg heart rate: 154, Max heart rate 175. I think I may be ready for spring now.
