Weekly Summary 12/23/13-12/29/13

Mileage: ~45; Elevation: ~7400′

Monday: 2 miles. With a busy evening ahead of me, I decided to just get in a brisk walk during my lunch break.

Tuesday: 8.15 miles starting at the Indian School TH. Over 1,000′ of elevation during this run, mainly from getting off trail and having to hike up and over a hill to get back on trail.

Wednesday: ~11 miles. For Christmas Day Megan and I went to hike on the La Luz Trail. The bottom half of the trail was relatively snow free, but nearing the top it became more snowy, slowing us down quite a bit. We rode the tram down, then ran/hiked the three miles back to the car in the dark.

mileage: ~31; elevation: ~7500′ A pretty solid week of “easing back into it”-type training. My goal for the week was for everything to feel easy and like I was stopping before I was tired. I wanted to just rack up a good amount of time on my feet and not[…]

Snow Day!

During what percentage of your training runs do you find yourself uncontrollably grinning the whole time? For me, that percentage is extremely low, despite how much I love running. Yesterday happened to be one of those days though. I work for the University of New Mexico, and most of the[…]

November 2013 Summary

I needed a bit of down time from running in November, after a punishing August and a busy race schedule in September. I wasn’t feeling the pep in my legs and didn’t want to push it. Consequently, I spent most of the month training in my local climbing gym instead.[…]

Dirty Half Race Report

“A race on my home trails? Piece of cake.” That was my thought going into the race. It didn’t quite turn out to be true. Like most trail races, the start of the Dirty Half was fairly informal. The group of 80-90 runners just kind of huddled around the base[…]
