April's off and running...

Another solid week. Held back the urge to jump into the 60's, look mom I'm being smart! Felt solid all week, some good tempo to my runs and looking forward to some more solid training. When I felt like pushing the miles out (mostly because the weather has been just awesome) I realized that it's still 2 months from my first race and that's only 25K so no need to rush into anything. Here's the week in full:

Mon- Easy 7.5 @ Wash Park x2 57:43 for 7:42/m. Legs good.

Tue- Easy 7.5 @ Wash Park x2 57:09 for 7:37/m. Ran with Marco and had fun, though way too many people in the park made our run more like a game of Frogger. Ate dinner and caught up with Marco and what he's been up to. It's gonna be fun to see what he throws down at LT100, gonna sneak up on a lot of people (and then leave them in the dust...).

Wed- Family run! 6m with the family from the Runner's Roost in 49:31 for 8:15/m. X was having a blast and Rachel had a nice run. Good stuff, this is what it's about.

Thu- Off (planned)

Fri- Long 18ish m with Leila at Centennial Cone in 3:15:xxish or more (not really sure, my watch flicked off for a little while) We were slowed by snow on the north facing trail and some seriously dangerous ice. CC is sweet though and I'm stoked to get out there in a few weeks when it's totally clear. The parts without snow were buttery, and we cruised pretty good even on the uphills (more of them than I had banked on). It was fun to talk about Leadville (where I'll pace her for 37ish miles or so) and look forward to a summer of races.

Sat- 10m in 1:17:36 for 7:46/m at WP x3 solid run good pace and felt good. I could feel the vertical from the previous day, but we were slowed enough that my legs weren't wrecked.

Sun- 7m @ WP x2 started in the park, nice cruise and legs felt the miles a bit but that's to be expected. Was 53:33 for 7:39/m and a nice end to the week. Real easy day tomorrow.

Week Total: 56m in 8:11:56 for some good time on the feet. Next week should be similar though the long run should be 20 and total miles somewhere near 60. Fitness coming around. Though, I realized today I need to be more concerted on my speed efforts so as to not embarrass myself at the sneak 5K with my RR team jersey on...
