friday 9/18
Headed over to Palmer Park with the dog in tow. Ran the Palmer Point loop CCW and then headed up to Grandview before breaking off on the Cheyenne trail loop and then back down to the parking lot. 5.5 mi. Heart rate was all over the place and I was having a hell of a time getting it under control even walking up hills.
thursday 9/17
Trying to get back in the rhythm of school and work and life and the running suffers. It was nice to get a few days off as I was just feeling tired. Headed up to Vail last weekend for Oktoberfest. Got in some mountain biking on the slopes. First time I've ever done any serious downhill riding and I had a blast. Definitely would like to do that again.
Got in a run Thursday evening. Never felt great and shut it down after 2.5 miles. Better than not running at all. Gonna try to get over to Palmer Park on Friday afternoon for a few miles and then either hiking Mt Elbert or long run in Garden of the Gods on Sunday.

Got out for a run this evening after work. Weather was nice and cool and I managed to dodge the rain. Just wanted to get lost in the adjoining neighborhood streets for about an hour and succeeded.
4.6 mi, Avg Hr 142.

sunday 9/6
Headed north on the Santa Fe trail for a little over 3 miles in the afternoon. Weather was cloudy when I got there but quickly heated up as the clouds broke. Felt like I lost all the gas came out of the tank at about 3 miles in so I hung out under the bridge on the AFA for a few minutes and let the dog swim in the creek.
Headed back into a little breeze which helped but still felt drained. Took a few walk breaks and hit a couple spurs down to the creek to let the dog cool off some more.
Managed to get 6.6mi in. Avg HR: 139. Pace was off but so was the HR so it felt like a pretty good, albeit hot, run.

MAF Test
Went to the gym to hop on the treadmill and see if things are progressing at all. Pretty pleased with the results.
I left room in the sheet for miles 4 and 5 but the thought of running 5 miles on the treadmill is utterly revolting.
Obviously, I still need to get more miles in and I'm working on it. This does add a little bit of incentive to keep grinding out slow mileage though. Taking tomorrow off going to the AF game and I think I will get a long run in GoG on Sunday or Monday.

thursday 9/3
Got an easy 6 miles in this morning. Hamstrings still tight but don't seem to be slowing me down.
People really need to start picking up their dogs' shit. I ran on a little gravel trail that runs down Sand Creek and there were steaming piles of shit all over it. I can dodge it no problem but for some reason my dog can't. He wants to stop and check out every turd we pass and see just what the dude that left it there had for breakfast. Move that shit off the trail, people!

wednesday 9/2
Still a little tight this morning but I rolled out a little after 6 and got 3 miles in. I REALLY need to hit the treadmill or the track to MAF test and see what's going on. Pace seemed quicker today and HR was down. Maybe since it was freaking beautiful outside this morning.
