oh hey

Almost forgot about this thing. Been REAL busy with work and school which has put a severe dent in my mileage but I'm still getting out sparingly ie one long run on Sunday :|

Sunday 2/21
Incline Club run. Thought about maybe trying to get the Waldo Loop from Memorial Park but it wasn't meant to be. I made it up to the top of the first climb in the canyon before deciding that I had had enough. It was cold and snowy for most of the run but not as bad as the week before. First time I went out with screw shoes and really like the traction they afforded and they don't curl the toe up like Yaktrax do. Got 10.5 miles in.

Sunday 2/28
Was looking forward to getting back on Barr Trail but we had to house sit for my folks and we only ended up with one car over there. I opted for a long run around their hood. Mix of streets, sidewalks, and some trail. The only thing that made it exciting was that it was somewhere I'd never run before. The wind was brutal. At one point, I considered just running to my house and having my wife meet me there, but decided against it since her cell had died the night before. Got 9 miles in.

Work and school (and hopefully a side gig provided my bid gets accepted) will probably be dominating my time for the remainder of the semester but hopefully I can still get a few miles in each week and maintain some fitness.

I'll be back in Manitou on Sunday and then the St. Pat's 5K is the 13th. I'm waffling on Pikes for some reason and I'm not sure if I'm going to make BTMR since my brother-in-law's bachelor party is that same weekend in PHX.

Life goes on...
