May 2026 Wrap Up


I'd like to say I significantly advanced fitness in May, but I didn't.  I grappled with prioritizing the right training, struggled in the miles that I was doing, often felt I was fighting my own body and felt my knee degrade more.  

But I got some running in.

Week ending 03MAY2026

Mon - 6 miles easy
Tue - 7 miles with GW easy

Thu - goose egg.  Thought I'd go in the evening but was too wiped at the end of the day to pull it off.  Didnt even walk the dog and went to bed at 8PM
Fri - AM - 10,3 miles, most of it with GW.  We did a 10 x a minute throughout the run to get in some hard breathing
Sat - went to Denver and ran with JZ around the Cherry Creek Rez.  Great way to start the day.  8.1 miles.  In the afternoon, I tacked on a ditch run - another 3.8.
Sun - 8.1 miles screwing around on the Mesa trail.  Sorta dead legged.  

Met up JT and his better half, Shad and Donnie over at Frolic Sunday morning.  JT was doing a 5k.  It was nice to shoot the grumpy old man breeze with the gents.  Debated if I am fit enough to pace Shad at HR.  I don't think I am.














50 something miles on the week - about 3500 of vert, and another dozen of walking
