sunday 2/7

Incline Club run. Did 9.2 miles in the Garden with Bucky. Nice to relax and chat with somebody and the miles just click off.

thursday 2/4

Crazy week at work and school. Finally managed to get to the gym after class Thursday night. Ran 3.1 miles.

Went snowboarding at Monarch on Friday and felt it when I woke up on Saturday morning. Spent the day with the wife house shopping in a neighborhood much closer to the mountains and some good trail running nearby.

Incline Club run tomorrow.

january summary

I've never really done a monthly summary post but all the cool kids are doing it so what the hell.

13 runs, 66 miles, over 14 hours and 49 minutes. Not too concerned with how slow it was, just nice to get the miles in. Compared with January of last year, where I ran a whopping 8 miles, this is a good start to the year for me.

sunday 1/31

Long run in the Garden of the Gods again this morning. Ran with Josh and did 11.5 real slow. The first 6 or 7 miles clicked off real quick and then it got tough after that. Nowhere near as warm as yesterday, but wasn't too bad when the sun finally came out.

saturday 1/30

Ran as soon as I got out of bed this morning. Grabbed the dog and went out on the roads and came back on Sand Creek Trail. Good weather, easy run, 4.6 miles. Incline Club tomorrow.

wednesday 1/27

After work, school, and dinner with the fam, I finally managed to get to the gym. I'm already feeling the weight of all the projects and group work at school this semester and it's only week 2. I've got 3 classes and a group project that spans just about the entire semester for each class. Balancing all those due dates and group meetings is going to be "fun".

Anyway, felt good to run out some steam. Kept it nice and easy, 4.3 miles on the treadmill while listening to the end of O's speech and the rebuttal. Got bored after that was over and just took off the headphones and zoned out staring across the gym.

Been really trying to focus on diet this week too. Easy during the week, not so much on the weekends.
