Week ending 27NOV2022

Monday afternoon in AZ - 8 miles.  Tired.

Tuesday mid day in AZ - 8 miles.  Moved pretty good towards the end with a couple clipping sub 7:30.

Wednesday - JZ and I hit the White Tank Regional Park.  Awesome day.   We decided we'd do this rather than blow money on a T-day 5k.  10 miles.  

This guy wigged me out a bit tho.  

Thursday - 7.2 miles.  Pushed a bit on the last mile and a quarter.   I was understandably tired.  

Friday - drive home.  Long day.  Well, worked on some stuff in the car.  

Saturday - back in CO.  10 miles.  Moved well even though I was a bit behind on hydration.  Gorgeous morning.  

Sunday AM - mostly with GW.  7 miles.

50 on the week with a day off for travel.  Got some quality in there too with the warmer temps.  

Week ending 20NOV2022

Monday afternoon - 6.3 miles
Tuesday afternoon - 3 miles.  Ugh.
Wednesday AM - 5 miles.
PM - 5 miles
Thursday - snowing - 9.4 miles
Friday - post snow, cold.  4 miles before the AZ road trip
Saturday - we hit AZ about 3AM.  It was early to then bolt over to NXR on the other side of PHX but it was worth it.  Watched the kiddos race, etc.  Got in about 4 and a half there in the races, etc.
Later in the afternoon, explored in Surprise a bit for another 5 and 3/4s.  Beautiful conditions this time of year.
Sunday - 7.2 miles with JZ around Surprise.  

Week ended up at just over 50.  Nothing zippy this week but the runs in AZ were better than usual (nice temps and altitude difference for sure).

Thursday night was Rails Open Mic. It was pretty fun.  SG and I had planned to do some tunes together and when we got there Rob offered to sit in on drums.  Why the hell not?  It was a blast. 

Later Sean and Andrew melted the whole effin' place as a two piece.  

Rolled through 2200 miles at some point this week.

Monday afternoon.  Nine.  Nice.  

Tuesday AM - 8.2 miles.  Nudged into some tempo on the last half dozen. 

Wednesday AM - jogging around the track while kids did a workout.  4.2 miles. 
PM - 3.7 on the ditch

Picked up this today.

Been eyeballing this style of guitar (Thinline Telecaster) for a bit.  Been drawn to the design with the F hole and I like the tone of the humbuckers v. single coils that are traditional for Teles.  Found a local one on Reverb after looking for a the better part of a year.  Some stats are the bottom of this post/

Thursday AM 4.1 miles on the ditch with GW
PM - 4 miles on the ditch

Friday AM - cold.  Well, not really but I am not used to the low 20s yet.  Did the loop with LF and caught up a bit.  8 miles.  

Saturday AM - 10.3 miles.  A bunch of little runs that were around the practice the kids had.

Saturday night of course was RCPM,  Hit Moe's BBQ ahead of it, and there was a band in there.  It was LOUD.   Dude was crushing on the Marshall Peavy combo on that slick Les Paul.  

Then it was over to the Gothic.  No Nick S on bass (not sure why) but they boys put on a clinic as usual.  

Sunday - hurtin a bit but got in 8.4 to sweat out some of the revelry from last night.  Ended with 60 on the week.

Week ending 06NOV2022

A few rando things to start the week:  

- Mark Plaatjes interview.  His story is amazing.  I had to look up what "necklacing" was.  Way more horrific than what I guessed.   
- Centaurus boys XC at State.  9th at the mile.  6th at 2 miles.  2nd at the finish.  That is the way to do it.  
- JT tried to get me out for Boulder XC race this Saturday and I bailed.  Excuses won that one. 
- Why the hell have I not dug into Marcus King before this week?

Monday - up in Fairplay.  Did a seven mile loop down the pipeline, then up Breck Estates, back up the access road, out to the base of 663 at Ice Axe and then back up Slow as you'd expect for an outta shape old guy at 10k feet.  

Tuesday - back down from the hills.  Gorgeous fall day.  10 miles.  

Wednesday - 7 miles with some fartlek thrown in.   

Thursday - 8 in the AM before the weather blew in.  

Friday - snow and wind.  Meh.  Felt cruddy.  Cut it at 5 miles.

Saturday - 8 miles and some.  Mostly with practice.

Saturday night:  gig over at Mother Tucker's.

Sunday - 11 miles.  

Ended with 56 ish on the week.  Eyeballed where I am on the year and its mid 2100.  It would seem that I would be dancing with 2500 if I manage at least 7 a day.  

I definitely do not have the base that I used to - meaning, for a bit because of all the miles I had done in my 40s, I could still easily manage a 12 miler.  That is gone, and I need to earn it back.
