Coming home seemed like more uphill and headwind than the way to work. Went somewhat hard as I was anxious to get home. Shoulder is sore from the heavy pack, need to leave stuff at work and not carry anything.
"Your biggest challenge isn't someone else. Its the ache in your lungs and the burning in your legs, and the voice inside you that yells 'CAN'T', but you don't listen. You just push harder. And then you hear the voice whisper, 'can'. And you discover that the person you thought you were is no match for the one you really are." ~unknown~

Biked to work
16.8 miles
48 minutes
Driving home last night I noticed that the price of gas has crept above $3.50. This combined with the improving weather and the reluctant urge to take a day off my feet convinced me to pedal in.
It felt so great to get out there in the fresh air and cruise along on a nice morning. It was a bit cool (43.8) when I left the house at 7:02am, but I quickly warmed up. I focused on spinning and trying not to go too hard as I was intending to clean up in the sink vs. take a full on shower once I got to work.
Itching to get out and ride up a hill after work, but riding home will be all I have time for as we have dinner plans. It is a "rest" day after all.

Bear Peak and S. Boulder Peak
7 miles
3,300 vertical
48up Bear/1:01 to SBP
1:56 RT
Getting ready in the car I was considering a rest day as it was cloudy, windy and cool. What the heck, here I am. Once again Sierra was really dogging it, worse than ever I think. I would run, wait, wonder, backtrack, encourage, repeat. Once the trail got steeper, our relative speeds evened out a bit, but I was still going slow for her. We hit the saddle at 35 and change and then I decided to up the pace a bit. She was never too far out of sight and I only had to briefly wait once. Hit the summit post at 48:?? and a few more seconds to the true summit.
The trip over to SBP was casual and we got there at 1:01. We took a nice long break here, and another long one back on Bear taking in the views and giving Sierra lots of hugs and scratches behind the ears. On the way down we stopped to play in the lingering patches of snow as a reward to Sierra for following me all over these peaks.
We did some running where it was steep and she kept up OK, but then I was walking as to not get ahead after the slab. Talked to an older gent about knee issues for a bit, his was much worse than mine, but he is getting out plenty.
A great day out. The weather held and despite Sierra's slow pace, it is great to have her along as she is an awesome pal.

Green
5.5miles
2,400 vertical
40up/25down
The day was on track for me to leave work at 3:35 and go meet George for a run up Green. Nothing going on at work, until, of course, 3:30 when I am readying to leave an issue arises. I listen intently, nervously checking my watch. OK, 3:39, i'm out, but wait, another issue. OK, this will really have to wait till tomorrow. I race out the door and rally it across Boulder trying my best to change clothes all the while. Dang it, on time for me is late and I know George is even more punctual than I. I whip up to my usual parking spot, but much to my surprise, all 5 spaces are full, as well as option 2 and I don't want to park at the Gregory TH due to it being pay and the high risk of getting your car broken into. It is 3:51, so I consider zipping up there to catch George, but I am miffed and in a hurry, so I go 60+ and screetch to a halt and park as close as I can along Baseline. Now I can't find one of the 2 shoes I intend to wear. In my haste I tear the car apart looking for it but nothing. Fortunately I have a few backup pairs, but now I am pre-occupied by the fact that I may have lost one of my best shoes (that I paid for).
I haul ass up the trail still getting my act together. Sierra gets in front of me and I trip, stumble and swear. This is supposed to be enjoyable, not contribute to high blood pressure. As expected there is no sign of George at the TH when I arrive at 3:59, he has a family to get home to. I take off up the trail hoping he is not too far along. I ask a few people and get confirmation that he is ahead, but by ~10 minutes. My legs feel amazingly good and I am highly motivated. Nothing gets me going like being pissed and late. Unfortunately, Sierra is not as motivated and dilly dallys her way along and stops for water every chance she gets. I could set a PR, but that would probably mean losing the dog, so I stop a LOT to wait.
I bump into the guy who looks homeless higher up the mountain and says that George is only 2 minutes ahead and kicking my butt. I lay it on hard for a while, but never see any sign of him. I hit the summit in 40, but it is starting to rain so we keep on boogying. A crack of thunder puts a bit more pep in our step and we are down in 25, still no sign of George but we tried hard.
OK, all that hurrying, now what? Oh yeah, sit in crazy traffic all the way home to Broomfield. Despite the bitching I had a fun run regardless. It was really nice out and I felt strong, just a little held back by the dog. And of course once I calmed down, I found my other shoe, sitting out in plain view.

Shadow Canyon
5 miles/1,800 vertical
Went a good part of the way up Shadow with the intention of summitting S. Boulder and Bear. Did not really have the legs or motivation, so I bagged it at 30 minutes and turned around. I did not feel that great even though my splits were not too bad, but I just felt that I would be better off in the long run not pushing it today and going mellow.

Green Mountain
5 miles
2,400 vertical
Amphitheater/Saddle/Greenman
43:13 up/28 down
Got out for an early morning spin up Green. You would think I would be getting sick of it after going up there just about every day for the past week, but it is a refreshing change from the wide open and crowded slopes of Sanitas that I frequented this winter. I went really easy on the way up, hiking mostly, but broke into a mellow trot on the flatter sections. I'll bet I never got my HR over 150, but was probably closer to 140 the entire way. Since I went hard yesterday and then spent the afternoon biking, I figured this morning would just be a recovery workout. I historically have trouble slowing down, but I forced myself to do it today. I have found that when I have the discipline to make my easy days easy, I can dig deeper and push myself further on the harder days, so I constantly have to remind myself of that. It was so peaceful this morning as I had the entire mountain to myself. I took a few minutes on the summit to take in the super clear views of the mountains and smell the fresh air. The descent was a bit slow, as I felt a bit klutzy, like I had 2 left feet. Odd that yesterday I ripped the descent and felt as though I could do no wrong, just ultra sure footed, but today I felt as though I was on the verge of slipping or tripping the entire way down. I was also wearing road shoes, so that may have played a very small part.

Green Mountain and Ride to Jamestown
Green Mountain
7 miles/2,500 vertical feet (including warmup)
35:39 up/24 down
Had an excellent run up Green today, went about as hard as I could and was 20 seconds shy of PR. The day was great and I felt pretty good. I cut the webbing between my thumb and index finger at the start as I was trying to hide my windbreaker and it started bleeding a lot. I don't do well with blood, especially my own. I rinsed off in the cold creek for a bit which felt good, then wrapped it up really good with toilet paper from the outhouse. Not the best way to start a run and I was a bit pre-occupied with it for the first 10-15 minutes. Bumped into GZ and JZ on the way down. Talked to them for about 2 minutes.
In the afternoon, Allison and I rode to Jamestown with Joe and Julia. It was a great time and was fun to get out on the bike. We went pretty easy, although Joe and I cranked it up the hills a few times. My legs felt surprisingly good.

Sugarloaf and Dream Canyon
Allison and I wanted to stick close to home today for no particular reason, really just in that seasonal/transitional limbo thing and lack of a real plan.
I figured a Boulder County highpoint would be fun, along with an exploration of Dream Canyon. Dream Canyon has somewhat of a shady reputation, yet I have heard that it is an amazing place from numerous climbing friends. A recent news article about some guy falling 500 feet to his death made me wonder why I have not yet seen this place, oh yeah, the shady reputation.
Armed with the wife and dog, we cautiously approached the canyon. There seems to be numerous routes down, some cliff out, some go all the way to the bottom. It was fun exploring and the only other people we saw were hardcore climbers, although I found it odd that all of had helmets, yet none were wearing them??? We went downstream a ways, then upstream a bit. I found my way across, but Allison and Sierra protested. I reluctantly gave in and went back across and we did some fun scrambling on the way back up. Luckily it was a cold day and this kept all the wackos indoors. I would love to go back and do some real climbing or try to traverse the entire canyon.
We then went up and took a short hike up Sugarloaf. This was a bit of a lark, as it was only 500 vertical feet. The views were great and I was itching to get out there on the mountain bike, as peering down on the nearby trails and valleys brought back all kinds of fun biking memories. I can see heading up there on the bike in the next few days.
2.7 miles for the day and 1,100 vertical.

Green Mountain
5 miles
2,400 vertical
36:43up/59:43 RT
Winter has returned to Colorado. As I slink out of bed, look at Allison and Sierra sleeping soundly, I question my sanity, as staying in the warm bed seems like a much more appealing option. Driving to Boulder under a battleship gray sky as my car was getting tossed about by the wind, I was wondering what I was thinking? The visible snowshowers over the foothills did little to boost my spirits to boot. Oh well, days like this always turn out better than they first appear and today was no exception.
It really isn't that bad, but I have been getting softened by the occasional 82 degree day. As I am driving past Chautauqua, I immidiately see GZ's fox in the middle of Baseline keeping track of it's territory, an omen of a good day to come perhaps? Out the car and up to Gregory TH. I quickly determine that I was a bit overdressed, so the jacket goes around the waist and skull cap in the pocket, chances are I will need it later. Up I go, Amphitheater/Saddle Rock/NE Ridge/Greenman. My legs have recovered from an unusual and heavier than normal training week and I feel pretty good, but I still am a bit unwilling to go fast today.
I am just intending to plug along on the steep and get in a good workout, a bonus really as I did not think I would get out today. The snow continues to increase, but nothing major, ankle deep at most and coverage is sporadic. I make the summit post in 36:43, scramble up the summit rock, take in a quick view and a deep breath and cruise back down. At first I go easy as to not take a digger on the snowiest upper section, dancing gingerly around the rocks and deep postholes, then increase the pace a bit as the trail improves, hoping to get down for a RT of less than an hour. I knew it would be close, but I was not too concerned one way or the other and never looked at the watch. I went really fast when it looked wide open and really slow where it was snowy and caution was necessary and finished in 59:43, far from a PR, but I was quite happy with that considering the crappy conditions, heavy clothing and lack of initial motivation. What a way to start the day!

1.5 x Green
Green Mountain
7 miles
3,400 vertical
37:15 up/1:05down
What a great day it was, about 80 degrees, sunny, I could not resist a run up Green Mountain.
Started at Gregory TH, went up Amphitheater/Saddle Rock/Greenman. Legs felt a little tired from the very start, so I decided that I was not going to go too hard. My HRM died on Tuesday, so if I had to guess, I would say I averaged 160ish and I made it to the summit in 37:15 sticking to the main trail the entire way. I was taking it somewhat easy on the descent due to the snow, as the snow was a bit slick, and when there was no snow, my feet were wet and not giving me confident grip. I bumped into George half way down. I thought he was running Sanitas and he thought I was running S. Boulder, but none the less a pleasant surprise. I turned around to "hike" with him for a little bit as to not interrupt his ascent and ended up chit chatting with him all the way back up to the summit. George's idea of "hiking" really cracked me up, as he is doing this to not aggrevate his nagging sports hernia. It looked more like a typical running pace than anything. I guess i'm not too surprised by this coming from someone who ran a 2:37 on his first go up Pikes.

45up (Gregory/Ranger/Greenman)
25down (Ranger/Gregory)
Run two for the day. Felt much better than on my morning run up Sanitas, but still went fairly conservative. On the way down I went real fast when the trail was smooth/wide open, fairly slow when rocky/technical. Was hoping to run into George, but we never crossed paths. I really like the two runs in a day, but not sure how I can fit it into my schedule on a regular basis. Maybe a hill run in the morning and a few laps on the track when I get home??? Not likely, but it sounds like a good idea. My calves are a bit tight this evening, even though they felt OK when running. Seems like there is some sort of "Mad Calve" disease going around, several of my friends and myself seem to be afflicted with it right now.

Was tossing and turning this morning, so I went out for an easy run up Sanitas and still made it into work for 7:45am. My legs are still kind of tight, so I went super easy. Hoping to get up Green after work, easy again just to get in some distance. Would like to start doubling my workouts on certain days if I feel it is effective.

4/28/08 Biked Linden
Don't know how long, how far or how high, does not really matter.
Legs were feeling a touch tight from the weekend, so I figured I would get out on the bike. Was planning on Flagstaff, but knew that would mean competing, so I opted for the more low key Linden and went really easy. It was good to get out on the bike, but was not entirely into it for some reason. Oh well, beats a day doing nothing.

S. Boulder Peak/Bear Peak
9miles
3,300 vertical
2:15 RT
127bpm ave
I intended to go long today, but last minute guilty eyes from Sierra convinced me to bring her along and I suspected that this move would cut my run a bit short as she is tired from yesterday and she slows considerably as the weather warms.
The weather today was excellent and I felt really good. I immidiately regretted bringing Sierra along as she was moving quite slow. I went slow to keep her in sight and waited for a long time at all the water stops so she could cool off. Once we got into Shadow Canyon, she picked it up a notch as it was shady and somewhat cooler. We made the summit of S. Boulder in 1:04 going quite easy. After a bit of a break, we headed over to Bear, took another 5+ to take in the views and let Sierra rest. I debated Green, but just knew it would take too long, so we just headed back.
