I just couldn't bring myself to road run when Molly gave me some extra time off to go. Hiked mostly up and ran down Bear Peak by Boulder. Ran really pretty hard down to try and work on that skill/turnover. Was really fun and no one was out because it was windy.

15 minutes of tabata weights with 30 lb dumbbells.

15 minutes of rowing at 2!5 for 500 meters or 3650.

Then 20 minutes of going up and down the 14 flights of stairs at work.

Unfortunately, I had some kind of flu-like thing the past two days and could not hardly go to work, let alone workout.

Today, I was fine though. 15 minutes warmup with strides, then

2X 6 intervals at sub 630 pace.

First 3 intervals were slightly uphill and were between 620 and 630. HR in the mid 160s for each.

2:00 easy recovery between each.

Second three intervals I were slightly downhill and I was right around 6:00 with the last one being 550. HR on the last one spiked to 173 at the end, and I think that is about my max HR. I was spent when I was done and immediately had to walk, easy running was not possible.

12 minutes of cooldown. Felt great and really enjoyed this workout with the short intensity. Felt very productive and I am spent as I write this in the evening.

North Table Mt. really tried to keep HR between 140-145, even on downhills which was hard to do. Was really working harder than normal with plenty of rolling elevation gain. Maintaining 10:00 miles on this was work. By the end, I was spent.

Frankly, yesterday I was too hungover to workout after celebrating my buddy's 40th the night before. Rare for me, but it happens, and we had fun.
