10 miles around Chatfield State Park, CO. 8:34 average. I really wish I could train out here all the time, there are lots of hills and the altitude really makes me work! I think I'm going to try to do 10 tomorrow, but take it slower.

Ran Waterton Canyon one last time on this trip. Bought a pair of Vibram Five Fingers that I have been eyeing up and absolutely love them! Had to make myself run only 2 miles in them because I didn't want to overdo it! They are very comfortable and it is amazing how fast my running mechanics compensated for "natural running." 8:42 average. Ready to get back to lower altitude and not have my HR so high going up hills on aerobic and recovery runs! The scenery is much better though.

Ran 2 miles to the gym and did some quick weights. Ran 4 more home and then ran 1 mile with the Vibrams. 8:37 Avg. Ready to do 13 or 14 tomorrow morning. After a recovery run this Saturday should be around 45 for week. Happy with that considering my marathon was just shy of 3 weeks ago.

Longest run since marathon. Knees are sore, but I think that is still from running hard downhill last week and maybe from the Vibrams. First 7 miles, 8:29 avg. Last 7, 8:15. It took me a good 6 miles to loosen up. HR did get into the low 160s, so probably should have backed down a bit.
