I got out of work a little early, as I had to run a few errands in Boulder and just barely had enough time to squeeze in a lap on Green, as it has been a few days since I have been out and I could not resist such a perfect fall day.
Went up Amphi/Saddle/NE Ridge/Greenman. Started off at a very moderately casual pace, and hit the first split in 6:15, which felt surprisingly easy. I was moving well and it was all feeling effortless, so I upped the pace to the higher side of moderate for a bit, just rolling with it, but not really feeling inclined to dig in. As I approached the summit, I pushed reasonably hard for the final 4 minutes. Headed back down the exact same way, not pushing at all, just letting my feet flow. This run felt awesome, awesome to be outside, awesome to feel good, awesome to connect with my surroundings and awesome to be a dad to beautiful twin daughters!!
