Ran/climbed Elbert peak in colorado. Highest peak in colorado and 2nd highest in continental US. Started out late since it took me awhile to drive there from Estes Park and find the trail head. I had to beat the weather to the top. It took me 1:45 to the top and 55 min down. I had one cool trip which if the aspen had not been there for me to grab and swing around back to the trail, i would have munched it good down a steep hill. 2 hrs and 40 min was a good time.
Treadmill @ 1.5% Warm-up 1.5 mi @ 9:00 pace, 10 fartleks on every half mile for 30 sec, and 1.5 mi cool down at 8:45 pace. The pace started at 9:00. At the beginning of each half mile I bumped the speed up 1 mph for 30 sec and then reset the speed back 0.9 mph. My legs and body are still tired. This was a better alternative than running track today.
Ran 6 miles this afternoon with craig. Hot run but a good run.
Work up tempo run. Started out slow and uphill for the first 2 miles. Zigzagged the streets back down to town square. Splits: 8:46, 7:59, 7:31, 7:16, 6:55, 7:34
Ran 5.6 miles tonight with craig and heath. Ave 8:13 pace.
Long run... ran 11 miles uphill towards snow cyn from home, and ran back a shorter route. Finished just before midnight. Now I get to relax all day saturday. Ave pace 8:07
