Solid week with bump in the miles and a PR at the 10K distance.
Monday - broke out the new headlamp for 3.5 around the house.
Wednesday - wore shorts before sun up for 5.2 around the golf course
Knew it was going to be a big mileage weekend so I took off Thursday and Friday
Saturday - 4th installment of the PPRR Winter Series. Temps weren't horrible but the wind was pretty stiff on the exposed portion of the course including the penultimate mile, which split the second fastest of the race. Ended up with a 1:05:43. I think that's a PR by close to 7 minutes.
Sunday - dropped a car off in town and drove up to the Northgate trailhead of the Santa Fe Trail. About a half mile in, Josh realized he left the keys to the car we were running to in my car. He turned back and said he would catch up and I ended up running the first 5 miles solo. Really enjoyed the scenery and trails through the AFA. Once south of Woodmen it becomes less fun, but we made it to Garden of the Gods knocked out 11 mi. Was able to hold a decent pace for most of the run thanks, no doubt, to the 500 ft elevation drop over the entire route.
Woke up with a weird hip issue on Saturday and almost bailed on the Black Forest race. Quads were really sore after Sunday's run. Not sure if it was the lack of compression shorts or the gentle downhill. More fatigue than anything. Things are starting to come together.

You're getting your miles up there.
On Sunday, what time did you run ? I did 14 miles on Pikes Peak Greenway, started at Woodmen and went to Colorado College (and back). I started at 8 and got back to Woodmen around 10, so probably didn't miss you by much.

We left Northgate around 9:30 and got to GoG around 11:30. You probably left Woodmen a few minutes before we went by.
