Good Times indeed.
The week started off, well, didn't really get started until Thurs. After the 26 mile run last Saturday, hacking up a lung the entire way, I seemed to get even sicker. Monday I took off, Tuesday was a slog run around a lake, Wednesday was off. Thursday I decided to make the last four days of the week productive and cranked out four runs of decent mileage with a miserably wonderful effort at [J.J.] Walker Ranch on Saturday - wind, snow, freezing.
Ended the week with 64 miles in 5 runs and (stop reading if you have good visualizing skills) about 5 lbs of mucus... AAK! That's eight weeks of solid aerobic building. Mentally on fire with the fitness to back it for once this early in the season.
Three weeks until my next race. JJ Walker and I say, Bring It!

Bring It x 2!
ReplyDeleteDarren, you are going to nail this race! Can't wait.
ReplyDeleteI used to love that show! Both of us fought off a bit of mucus this week - we blamed it on you! ;-) That wind yesterday was obnoxious!!!
ReplyDeleteMucus free for the moment. How many JJ Walker laps?
ReplyDeleteToday is actually the first day in the last 13 days I feel almost healthy. If it doesn't kill you...
ReplyDeleteHappy, I used to love that show too. Had a big crush on Janet Jackson and the father scared me even though I knew it was just a show.
George, just two+ laps at walker. It was literally like another planet compared to downtown Boulder. My hands burned with pain for an hour after the run. Afterward, I introduced Shaun to the hot ballpark pretzels at walnut brewery. SOLD!!
Let me know if you're up for another soft tempo-type run this week. Out of work at 130 every day.
I am gonna have to go early all this week ... I have to go to rehab for those chez balls in the PM.
ReplyDeleteI can do 3:15am? KIDDING.
ReplyDeleteYeah, everywhere I go I see cheese balls, and think of you.
Everywhere I got I see chihuahuas and think of you.
