sunday 2/14

Rough week at work and school. Hopefully things will calm down later this month and into March.

Finally got out this morning to run with the Incline Club. I didn't wear warm enough clothes and almost crawled back in bed when I had to come back inside to get car keys from my wife, but the dog wanted to go so I got back in the car and headed over. It was bitter cold and windy when I got to Manitou and I never got warmed up. I wasn't uncomfortable but it's one of those chills that never goes away until you take a hot shower and sit in front of the fire for a while.

Made my way up to No Name and turned back. Certainly never pushed the pace but I hit the creek in ~1:30. Took my sweet time coming back down the mountain and got back to memorial park an hour later. Went to TX Roadhouse with the wife for a steak afterwards.

That's what I'm talking about

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.
