Week ending 26APR2026


57 miles on the week with some climbs over the weekend.

Mon - 7 miles, most of it with GW
Tue - 9.1 miles, most of it with LF
Wed - GW had a long one (20), I did 7.3 with him
Thu - 10 with LF
Fri - 7.6 with GW in the afternoon
Sat - Green.  Total struggle bus.  Up the front (Amp-Saddle-Greenman) and it was mostly a walk.  Came down Ranger Gregory but was moving so slowly on the rocks I decided to come down Flag road for a bit at the Ranger Cottage bail out.  I then picked my way back through King's to Gregory.  The one advantage I got moving so slow is got to see this big Tom above the Ranger Cottage. 























6.9 miles.  Knees pretty unhappy and over two hours

Sun - decided I needed to force more hills but chose for the Lion's Lair as a tamer version - less vert and less rock step ups.  9 miles.

Biggest vert week of the year - and it is not that much (over 6k).  13 miles of walking with Sage as well.  880 plus on the year.

Week ending 19APR2025

Back to BUR.  A big week of work there but LF kept me honest-on track with running.  

Mon - 6 miles in the evening after a day in the office and travel to SF (with LF)
Tue - AM with LF - 7.4 miles (all these are along the Bay Trail)
Wed - AM with LF - 7.6 miles.  Running is certainly easier at sea level and on this flat.  Just ending up cruising just over 8 min pace most of the time.
Thur - AM with LF.   He called out 10 and so it was 10.6 when we were done.
Fri - travel back to CO and I was beat.  And then it was snowing here.  And I worked when I got home.  I scrubbed the day.
Sat - some solo catch up.  Ran into Colton and Sharkey and so I hung onto them for a couple of miles.  9.2 miles.
Sun - on the ditch out to Interlocken.  10.3 miles to round out the week at 51 ish.  Nada for vert this week though.

Had some good sushi this week with Matt.

Fri - Sanitas with Lucas, up the traditional route and then back down Lions Lair.  6.1 miles.

Wed - travel to AZ - 5.3 miles after getting here
Thu - AZ - AM 7.6+ miles,  afternoon 3 miles with JZ

Sat - with JZ in Surprise - 10 miles before it got to hot
Sun - in AZ, post first ever pickle ball session - 7.3 miles.  Pretty warm (upper 80s) so just tried to keep it in check via HR (first keeping it sub 130, then 135 ... eventually it did tick up to mid 150s).  

54 on the week.  All pretty slow, not a lot of vertical given schedule.
