I had a good weekend of running last weekend with two 3 hour outings.  Then took four straight days off for no real reason other than work was hectic and other stuff going on.  It's probably not bad to rest up before I tear into a 6 week cycle of heavy training, so no biggie.  I'm not a slave to running and don't get too bent out of shape about taking a day off (or four).  I really like the training I've fallen into this year of few number of runs but big miles/climb on those runs.  I feel much stronger on runs the last month than I have in at least four years.

I was supposed to head up to Brainard Lake today for 26 miles with a crazy fast and strong girl.  I figured she just stood me up, so I did my run locally this morning.  Then I had a couple of texts from her when I got back saying she ended up running alone because she didn't hear from me when she texted to confirm last night.  I confirmed, texted again this morning and left a vmail.  Way to go AT&T.  The most worthless carrier I've ever encountered.  If I wasn't so attached to my iPhone...

Anyway, looking to scamper up Green, Bear, South Boulder peaks tomorrow along with 8 or so miles on Mesa if anyone's interested.  Just assume I'm starting at 7am - don't wait for a text from me!

  1. Yea I used to think those Verizon commercials with the maps on people's heads were funny................until my company gave us new Blackberries on AT&T.

    AT&T sucks tremendously.

  4. I agree with GZ! You need to stop eating just Clif bars and grab a cheese burger every once in a while :-) More beer would be good too. Not that lite shit...real beer. Here's to a good six weeks of training!
