Weekly Run Log - May 01-07, 2011


05/02/2011: Ran a quick loop from Riverside Park in the Fivefingers. Extended it because I was feeling great! 0:19, 2.0 miles, 400' vert.

05/03/2011: Midland Hill Trail from Riverside Park in BV. Pretty nice sustained climb from where the trail crosses 304. One gains elevation quickly on this trail. Felt better running today! Maybe I am becoming aclimatized or maybe I am just more hydrated. Haven't had a beer in several days and I know that is always a performance detractor. 1:15, 4.8 miles, 1,500' vert.

 Towhee Trail

Cutoff between Towhee and Mesa Trails.

05/04/2011: Despite the news that I will need a root canal I got out for a nice short run in Boulder. Wow the weather was fantastic! I want to move here pretty badly! 

I wanted a taste of the Mesa Trail so I parked at the South Mesa Trailhead (the road to Eldo or 170) and ran a loop consisting of the Towhee Trail to the junction with Shadow Canyon Trail, then shot over to and down the Mesa Trail back to the parking lot. Nice to be at low altitude again after some degree of aclimatization. 0:45, 3.4 miles, 800' vert.

05/07/2011: Collegiate Peaks Trail Run. See future post. 10:53, 50 miles, 5,100' vert.


Weekly Run Summary: 60.2 miles, 7,800' vert.
