Weekly Summary 12/30/13-01/05/14

Mileage: ~31; Elevation: ~2,000′

Monday: Planned rest day.

Tuesday: I again decided to rest. We had guests coming into town for New Year’s Eve and I decided that cleaning the house, cooking and drinking beer was a more enjoyable way to spend my NYE.

December was a great month for me in terms of mileage, elevation gain and time on my feet, so I wasn’t super concerned about a few days of rest to enjoy time with friends. My knee had been causing me intermittent pain the past few weeks so I had no reservations about a few days of rest.

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.

Weekly Summary 12/09/13-12/15/13

mileage: 35; elevation: ~3000′ All in all, a pretty typical “base-building” kind of week. I didn’t assign myself any particularly strenuous workouts this week, I just wanted to make sure to get in a lot of time on my feet. My Saturday long run was in the open space trails[…]

Weekly Summary 12/02/13-12/08/13

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[…]
