Ok workout but not great. Disappointed with my 1600's. 400's
were in line with previous weeks. Not looking great for the garden
10 miler. My speed is not there. Maybe 1:02 range if I'm lucky on
race day.

Ran the entire up. Felt good for the most part. Highest I have been
up this season. Stopped at Barr Camp and refilled my bottle.
Rested a bit before heading down. Met B at lightning point. Ran the
down with her. We both bonked on the down as we didn't take in
enough calories. Was supposed to do this run yesterday but was
 too tired. Coach B said to take the day off.

WDF - supposed 5k

3.1 miles (not!), final time unknown
10 am) cool, windy, light rain

My first DQ. I can be so proud that I cut the course so I could
beat the field of 35 men/375 women and girls :).This was the
Pikes Peak Road Runner's first chip timed event so I wanted to
at least participate even if this was the Women's Distance
Festival (men were allowed, I swear!). I was third overall but
I followed the top 2 men when it turns out that they cut a corner
too soon, resulting in all 3 of us earning a disqualification. I'm
kind of relieved that I did DQ given the circumstances. One
good thing came from this race... I learned that I can NOT go
out that hard and keep my breathing under control. This will
be good for me to remember for the Garden. I started WAY
too hard and was in the lead from the get go. I got passed
just over 1/2 mile in by the top 2 runners. In the end, it was
as it should have been and the overall winner was a female.
Yay Women!

First track workout in over a year! I didn't do alot today as I don't
want to overdo it. Next week I will add to this. Maybe add a
couple more 400's and end with some fast 50's. Felt pretty good
today the 1600 was not that great though. My pacing was all over
on the 4 laps.
Workout was on the Manitou Springs High School track. The
setting here is awesome with Pikes Peak in the distance.
Man I'm lucky to live here!

Green Mountain Falls, Catamount Trail

5.1 miles.
11 am, sunny and beautiful

Easy day with B. Hiked most of it as it was very technical.
Ran some of the easier parts and a good bit of the downhill.
Really enjoyed getting my feet on some new trail and enjoyed
the 'Garden of Eden' meadow. This trail isn't a great one for
adding into the standard running rotation due to its technical
bits and the rocks that are ready to take you down at any
moment. Still a fun day. Did get in some good elevation gain.
Somewhere in the area of 2k for the first 2.5 miles. Good steeps!

Lots of tourist out at the park today.

Red Rock Canyon

5 miles easy
First run since the 50k. Ran this with my girlfriend. Hit up some
new trails that I had not been on before and some nice single track.
Body feels pretty good not really all that sore. Going to try to run
a tempo run on Thursday.

Greenland 50k

3:58:04 5th Overall 2nd Master
7:00 am) Warm & Breezy
50k PR by 7 minutes. Good race but not what I was hoping for. My
goal was around 3:38 so 20 minutes off. I think the heat and sun was
a big factor to me running slower than I anticipated. I lost a lot of time
on the 4th loop.I had some very slow miles and walked most of the hills.
My acl has been sore past 2 weeks but I can't say that really had any
impact on my race. My focus now will shift to a fast 10 mile run at the
Garden of the Gods in June.
