Pretty tired from yesterday but I happened to be in Boulder so I got Green number 54. Nearly all of the up was a walk, and the down was crazy slow. The run yesterday, with the weight lifting the day before was clearly felt today.
Traction is probably not really necessary, but there are a few sections where the light powdering of snow does sit on top of some ice, so caution is necessary. Gregory opened back up recently (but ASG still remains closed). The trail below the closed cabin is pretty well gone, but folks are using the shoulder in the interim,
Finished the week with 76 and change miles – the largest in nearly two months (also in terms of time (almost 12 hours) and vertical (6800 feet)). With the holidays next week and probably some mountain visits, that probably won’t be the standard but it was good to get back to some good habits. Sitting at 3418 miles on the year, so I ought to get 3500, but maybe not. I am really not worried about (but I guess that sounds stupid as I track it). About time to start to get some speed back in if I am going to break and hour at USATF XC.
Other recent pix.:
That dusting of snow kind of complicated things a bit, those lingering ice patches are pretty well disguised now. Even knowing where all the ice is, it was still a bit slow and tricky. I think I saw your car when I finished up a bit after 1pm.
ReplyDeleteWhere is that house with the decorations specifically? We may swing by it tonight if not too far away.
