Trail run 1:08:17 [3] 7.0 mi (9:45 / mi)
shoes: Asics Gel-Trail Sensor (B)

Out/back Quigley. Slow-dog run in slow conditions feeling slow. Rather forget this one, but I'm logging it just the same.

Friday Feb 27, 2009 #

Road run 4:09:40 [3] 23.0 mi (10:51 / mi) +4000ft 9:19 / mi
shoes: Asics Gel-Trail Sensor (B)

River Run Baldy loop then Elkhorn with Juniper Rd, Ind Crk, and Morningstar and back through town to River Run. No gels; just PB&J and Cliff Bars. Felt good. 15 minutes faster than when I did it in Jan; paths were clearer, though.

Climb up Baldy a little tough with a lot of soft snow from yesterday. Good run down.

86 miles, if stopped the week today. Ready for a slow taper to Coyote.

Trail run 59:37 [3] 7.0 mi (8:31 / mi) +1200ft 7:20 / mi
shoes: Asics Gel-Trail Sensor (B)

Second Carbo run of the year. A lot better than three weeks ago. Started at school. Walked up gully to switchbacks, then up and over cornice to Jeep trail up to ridge--not quite to flag. Most of it's clear, with some long sections of snow. Probably 5 - 6 minutes slower round trip than mid season. Don't think I'd do it late in the day after thawing.

Felt good. Ready for repeats.

Trail run 44:23 [3] 5.0 mi (8:53 / mi)

(Evening) Slow-dog run out to Deadman's and back on softened snow.

shoes: Asics Gel-Trail Sensor (B)

Tedious run out/back Quigley to Deadman's on rain-softened snow. Went up Deadman's climb a bit. Decent game trail for a lot of it.

Trail run 1:02:30 [3] 7.0 mi (8:56 / mi)
shoes: Asics Gel-Trail Sensor (B)

shoes: Asics Gel-Trail Sensor (B)

Trail Creek (with a couple miles on snow past path), Elkhorn loop down to Lane Ranch, with Independence Crk. Save the Lane Ranch tundra, paths clear and fast. Felt really good.

Three weeks to Coyote. Watchwords: sodium, fluids, patience.

Quigley out/back. Knee a bit stiff, but legs felt good.

Note

Moab's not looking like the 55 and sunny I was hoping for. 42 and rain/snow seems more likely.

shoes: Asics Gel-Trail Sensor (B)

Rotarun out/back Croy. Felt pretty good.

21+ miles Trail Creek/Elkhorn, with Independence Crk and Juniper Rd. Tried Parker but not plowed. Knee hurt at times but did OK. Ice and 2 aspirin, and it feels pretty good. One week until Red Hot; not quite sure what to do over the next 7 days.

Same route as yesterday. Almost exact same time. Knee hurt at times. May take tomorrow off.

Relatively easy week. May do same next to let knee heal a bit.

Very happy with 320 miles in January.
