Thursday 100313

More from Friel today

How you will die as a runner.

10 miles, most of it with Laub at work.  He keeps me honest without even trying.  Before this it was some jump rope, planks, weighted and non weighted squats, dumbbell push up rows.  Um … jump rope. 

Started doing a bit of digging today on my 5k, 10k times over the years and how they have trended.  It is a bit tricky because I have to go and pull out sea level races, grade aided races (significantly downhill) or ones that were short significantly.  More to come on this.  Other projects in the hopper:  still musing on a Scout trip to the San Juans, a ton of house projects (yard including climbing up trees with a chainsaw, shed, pool deconstruct, basement work, etc – as I recently heard:  when you own a house you don’t need a hobby), grubmastering for the upcoming district camporee, kids and school (on going), the UCONN research project, RAC certification for work.

Monday 040813

Number 28.  Up the back pretty casually.  I might be getting too casual with this, often just taking it easy on the hills versus getting after it.  I go back and forth between thinking that and that I have plenty of time to dig into some efforts.

Met Tony on the top and B.S.’d with him for a bit.  Always good to see Tony – he is always smiling, interested and interesting.  Came down the Front (as he did as well, but I quickly bid him farewell as we started because I knew there would be no keeping up by me on the upper stretches with snow – I am just a sloth on that stuff).  At the last second I decided to switch the front down to come down Saddle Rock (which then connects right at the base of Gregory).  I have not been on that trail in years … and frankly I am not sure why.  Took a fair spill up high on the way down on the ice.  No biggie but some good cuts and a nice bruise on the left leg.  6.2 miles. 

Anyway, today put me through 100k vertical feet on the year.  No biggie again compared to many, but certainly more vertical than I have typically accumulated at this point in the year.

PM - Got out with Laubster at work.  Dude is and always has been a greyhound so he kept me honest. 5.2 miles

Big snow predicted for tomorrow so I might not make it back up the hill for a couple of days.
