Road back from FAT!!!!!

12.5 miles easy in 87:15. (average pace 7:01) felt great on a nice easy solo run to start the week 

Met up with Riley, Ken, Bret and Jace at 21st street pond. Ran 80:17 for an average pace of 6:51. Felt good but dragged a bit at the end.

Aerobic building day. Dun Dun Dun!!!!!! (Ominous music)

3ish mile warm up with Riley and Bret, then pretty much a solo 8 mile threshold run. I saw some of those guys but it was pretty much a-holes and elbows. Spilts were 5:58, 6:00, 6:03, 6:10, 6:23 (over the freeway and took a wrong turn and had to come to a complete stop twice) 6:12, 6:08, 6:12. Average Pace 6:08.25. Wanted between 6 and 6:10 so very happy with especially since I have run three 12ish mile runs this week. It will be one month since I started running again on Friday. I could barely do 5 miles at 7:30. Trial by fire seems to work best for me. Very happy to have guys like Riley, Bret, Ken, etc to run with and force myself into shape. Huge help, thanks guys!

Met Riley on base for an easy recovery day. Felt TERRIBLE for the first 3 miles. Felt like I hadn't eaten in weeks, so weak. Took a short break and felt much much better. 73 minutes. We stopped right at 10.00 miles on the watch. Riley had the turn around perfect.

Ran from my parent's home in Colorado Springs today. Did the first 6 miles with Kayla. Dropped her off and decided to run over to my old "Power Mile" and push it for a mile. Mile starts at about 6200' evelation and ends at 7000'. I did a 5:58. Love coming home. high point of the run was 7300' low point 5975'. Here for my next 4 runs.

AM: Easy 3 miles with Kayla before water world today!

Had planned on running again yesterday evening, but after a day in the sun at Water world I was spent. Watched my dad finish the Accent. It is funny how winded you can feel after a short uphill scurry at 14,000'. Went for a run from my parents house uphill the whole way out. Turned around at 7200' and back to my parents at 6700'. I am definitely feeling the altitude. Warm day outside.
