Today was a great long run at Gold Hill. This is a really hilly course in the Boulder foothills at about 8,500 ft. elevation. Anyone who goes out too hard on this run really pays for it later in the workout. I ran with Richard Medina and Matt Tebo (some really good freshman recruits) fifty minutes out and back. The return trip took us only 48 minutes, so we did run a bit negative (mainly because the way back has more downhill). I felt really good. I have to take an iron supplement now, due to very low iron content from my blood test. I was not yet anemic, but my levels were pretty low. Weird, I tend to eat a decent amount of red meat and leafy greens, so I am unsure of why this may be a problem. A lot of runners on the team use this too, so I don't feel too bad. It is, however, the worst tasting stuff I have ever drank. At first it tastes like Robitussin, which is not too bad, but the aftertaste is horrible. It tastes like your are sucking on quarters/drinking blood at the same time. A chaser is definitely needed. Haha funny. I guess you know you are a runner when you use a chaser to wash down iron supplement. Anyways, great run today! I feel like this last week has been some of my best work yet!

| Today was an easy loop around south Boulder. It was nice weather, 65 degrees and sunny, perfect for running. Tommorrow is going to be a hard workout, so I made sure to keep today easy. I can't control how hard Wetmores workouts are, but I can make my easy days easy so that I can power through them. This, along with stretching and core strength drills, will help me remain injury free when mileage goes up. | | Add Comment |

| Today was a great run! Our team did a fartlek style workout on the Buff Ranch (Shootout/Time Trial course). The objective was to run four miles in two minute segments (equal rest) at race pace. After warming up and stretching, we hit up the workout. It felt really good. The team broke apart due to a variation of paces. I ran 20:06 for four miles, which was pretty fast for this course. I went too fast, though, because I can't yet hold that pace for the full race on this course. Nonetheless, I got some good work in. We went to the gym afterward to lift weights...hard stuff. Later, I did a bit of stretching and used old faithful (the foam roller). Without that little foam cylinder my body would break down. | | Add Comment |

We went out to the tank today for a steady, middle length run. It was hot, nearly 85 degrees. The group I was in was instructed to run out 38 minutes and back. The path has some hills that break up any fluidity that you may gain, but overall, a very manageable place to run well. We came back in 38:30, almost even splitting the run. Overall pace was around 6:15/mile. | | Add Comment |

| We had a workout today at 6:30 am, really early for me. When I woke up, though, I felt good. The menu today called for an 8000 meter AT run. Wetmore assigned me to the middle group, and set a goal time of 26:40. We began right on, or a bit below pace. The idea of the workout was to slowly squeeze the pace down while still staying fully aerobic. We hit the 5k in 16:40, and I felt really good. We did the final 3k in 9:44 to finish with a total time of 26:24 while negative splitting the end. I used to be sckeptical of the whole negative split thing, but as time goes on, I am becoming a firm believer in it. I was also amazed at how easy this felt, especially since we were running on grass. There was no point in time in which I felt like I was laboring. I definitely think that I could have done this a full minute faster in a race (here at altitude). Great workout! | | Comments(1) |

| Really easy tonight. I worked all day, so running did not sound all that good. | | Add Comment |
