In Steamboat Springs, CO, with my daughter, Andrea. My first altitude training, in preparation for the Pike's Peak Ascent. Very humbling. This run had virtually no hills, and I still wound up taking several walking breaks.

Noon-hour run from work (OCD, Weiland Rd, Greece). Ran east on Ridgeway to Dewey, then took some side roads on the way back. Rained a bit for the first half mile, then rain free. Shorts and t shirt weather again.

I managed to get entered in the Pike's Peak Ascent in mid August. Getting registered for this event may be almost as much of a challenge as actually doing it, but I succeeded. I managed to get my daughter Andrea (who lives in Colorado), myself, and Anne Schwartz registered within 9 minutes of when registration opened, only to find out later that the race filled up in 10 minutes. So we just snuck in.

Now I just need to focus on training for i!

Ran along the canal path again, heading east from the east end of Cobbs Lane. Gravel path much better than just 3 days ago. Nice to be running in shorts and a t shirt.

At Bristol Mt. Gorgeous day. As the snow warmed up, the wear and tear on the legs increased.

At Bristol Mountain. Two runs on the snowboard before switching to skiing. I think I'm getting the hang of snowboarding. Would have done it longer except I was with two other people who were on skis, and I didn't want them to be constantly waiting for me.
