Loved the Hokas today on these trails. Sailed over the rocks.
My time was not my fastest but not bad for this time of the
year. Signed up for the Pikes Peak Ascent today! No double
for me this year. I had thought about it but changed my
mind. I want to focus on the Ascent and try to kill it!
My goal will be to place very high in the standings.

H/SE/14

Pikes Peak Greenway

7 miles, 6:31 average per mile
8:45am, 50s and mostly sunny

Ran in my new Stinson EVO Hokas. Felt pretty sluggish for the first
few miles but hammered the last 3. Splits on the last 3 were
6:12, 6:05, 6:05. So I guess the extra weight of the Hokas didn't
slow me down too much. Ok, so they don't weigh that much more than
my usual Adrenalines... 1/2 an ounce more. But WOW! the cushioning.
Tomorrow I'll give them a spin on Waldo. Can't wait to see how they
do on more technical terrain.

Good run today on some technical trails. Thought I would run
slower than I did. Going to make this a weekly run. I really enjoy
the diversity of these trails.

First run up Barr in ages. I was slow but able to run the
entire way up. Trail was in great shape except by no name
was a sheet of ice. I didn't have screw shoes on and fell
3 times going up the hill and once going down. Hit the
ground hard a couple of times. Kind of sore from the falls.

Ran the up pretty hard then just cruised the rest of the run.

B/PG/150

Waldo Canyon

7 miles. Untimed
Knees and calves bothering me. Ran at a slower pace.
Need some more time for recovery, I guess. Will take it easy
for the next week or two.

Considering dumping the double as an option for this year.
I may just focus my efforts on the Ascent to see what I
can pull out for the up. If I decide to do a fall marathon,
this may be the best option for me. Will update my race
schedule once the decision (registration is next Thursday)
is made.

Calves were pretty sore throughout this run. Also my knees
bugged me some.
