Sunday 2.26.12
My left ankle is a bit sore. I think it's from a twist on uneven ice. Took the weekend to ride and may do a few more days to let it settle down
Wind was already going good this morning so I threw the road bike on the trainer and put Hell on Wheels, the 2003 TdF documentary on Netflix. Pretty awesome!
AM) BIKE trainer, 2:00

Canceled Mesa Trail Fun
Trail is in a not so fun state! Later in the year, we'll do the double crossing. Not tomorrow!
Saturday 2.25.12
Left the house arond 10am on my road bike. Went out towards Lyons. Did both the Fruit Loops and then climbed up towards Estes Park on the opposite side of Apple Valley Road.... and then the wind hit. Sucked pretty hard on the ride back in. 11 mph on the flats in some spots. I was thrown into the middle of the road at one point. Luckily no cars behind me. Good times.
Canceled my membership at CAC Boulder and signed up at the new Lifetime in The Orchards tonight. Great pool facility!

South Mesa TH, Sunday 2/26, 7:30a
From Boulder (Canyon and Broadway):
Take Broadway (Hwy 93) south, past CU's campus, and out of town. Approximately 1.5 miles after leaving Boulder you will arrive at the intersection of Hwy 93 and Hwy 170 (Eldorado Springs Drive) (stoplight). Take a right (west) and proceed 1.7 miles to the South Mesa Trailhead on the Right. The Dowdy Draw Trailhead is on the left and offers overflow parking. Do not park along Hwy 170. These lots tend to fill early on weekends.

Never warmed up today like it was supposed to. Well, it was supposed to be 45F. The roads have finally broken free of ice and I decided to head out and get some saddle time. I left the house after 1pm and it was 36F. Dressed well and it wasn't too bad....
Sitting on 60.8 miles on 9 runs so far this week with one day to go. My biggest training week ever was a "massive" 68 miles leading up to my 2:50:21 at the Eugene Marathon. Racing Eugene again in 11 weeks! Should get a new weekly high if I don't stub a toe tonight. Legs feel great!
AM) RUN 9.6 miles, 1:11
NOON) BIKE 45 miles, 2:35

Double Mesa Trail Crossing
We're going to do a double Mesa Trail crossing on Sunday February 26th beginning at the South Mesa TH starting at 7:30a.
South Mesa TH out the Mesa Trail to Chautauqua and back.....twice. We'll use cars at the TH as aid for the second lap.
It's about 26 miles and should take in the vicinity of 5 hours at a steady effort. Bring some traction.
Refueling at Southern Sun Brewery afterwards.

Wednesday 2.15.12
Early morning run. Starting to feel in a groove.
Weight is down to 163 lbs. I was running 169 lbs. on January 1st. I think I'm strongest and fastest at around 160 lbs. Anything under 160 and I feel like I start to lose strength..... and Kat starts calling me "manorexic." Definitely making a conscious effort to eat clean and watch the number of beers in a week.
This afternoon, instead of heading outside for run number 2, I jumped on the office treadmill and did a 4 mile progressive tempo in the middle of 8 miles. Cut down to just over 6 minute pace and felt great.
AM) RUN #1, 6 miles, :46 minutes
NOON) RUN #2, 8 miles, :57 minutes
