Very tired from the start on this run. The warm temps made this a difficult
run. I ran by heart rate and kept it under 149. The warm temps made my
heart rate higher than normal for the pace I was running.

 Got my new Garmin 620 today and had to go for a quick run with it.
I got all kinds of data from this watch. Some of the info might not be really
accurate as it was my first run with it and only 4 miles. Still fun to look at.
Race predictor is pretty accurate I would say. The only one I would say
I would be faster at is the Half Marathon. I ran 1:18 at altitude so I would
think maybe 1:16:30 at sea level.

Sinton Trail & Pikes Peak Greenway

12 miles 1:23:46 7:00 average per mile
3:30 pm) 70 degrees and falling then back up.
What a crazy run today was. I was at 1.25 miles into my run and all of a sudden
it started to pour and hail. The hail was fairly large up to quarter size.
Lucky for me I was near some businesses. I got hit a few times by the hail and
it stung. I waited around for several minutes before it let up. I then headed
back out only for the the rain to start coming down again. Oh well I was wet
at this point so kept on running. After a couple more miles it came down
even harder. I needed to get out of the rain again. This time I found a
building with a over hang. I waited a few minutes then it let up again.
So back at it. Now it was just a drizzle so much better. The last 3 miles
of the run the clouds moved out and it was sunny. Was a good run as far
as learning to deal with less than ideal conditions.

Hilly run from the house to the Garden of the Gods park. I felt pretty good
today. I felt pretty beat up after yesterdays run but recovered well over
night.

42.5 miles for the week. Mileage is on the upward swing for next 5-6 weeks
as I get ready for a July 4th marathon in Vermont.

Did 4 mile warm up then did 5 miles at tempo effort then 4 mile cool down.
The tempo effort felt very hard today. Legs felt heavy. Not really a
good run but glad I got it done. I need more tempo runs for sure and
I will need to extend the distance of the tempo portion.

Snowed all day and was cold so opted for the warmth
of indoor running. Crazy weather here and I'm ready for
it to be over. Give me summer already or at least
spring.

Shiprock Marathon, Shiprock, New Mexico

26.2 miles 2:50:14 PR at altitude.
7:00 am) 40's sunny slight head wind out of the east
2nd Place Overall
This race starts out with the first 3 miles climbing. I was breathing pretty hard by mile
3. I studied the profile so I knew it was going to go down after that. Mile 4 was my
fastest of the day. My pace was all over due to the nature of this course. I ran 19
miles with the eventual winner. We would jockey back and forth he would lead for a bit
then I would pass and take the lead. I felt a bit stronger than him on the ups and he
would pass on the downs. I felt pretty strong till mile 19. Then the wheels fell off.
He made a move and I couldn't respond at all. The last 10k I felt terrible even with
it being a very nice downhill grade. I struggled just to keep miles under 7:00 pace.
I hoped to run under 2:50 and just missed that goal. Still my fastest marathon above
5,000 ft. The awards were for only the overall winner and then straight to age group
so I got the age group award for 40-49. It's a beautiful handmade vase made by the
Navajo tribe. This was a pretty amazing experience running through the Navajo reservation.
The landscape was breath taking.
