Mon - rio grande gorge rim tempo (4 miles 0:28). another quick turnover day just felt good to get out and run a harder effort, though my stamina is a bit off, so it was a short one with good turnover.
Tues - mineral belt trail loop (11.9 miles 2:01). nice comfortable run, started out feeling pretty blah an considered turning back after the 1st quarter mile, then opted to continue on and just see what happened. turned out to be a good day in decent conditions. legs felt good, overall very relaxed and just enjoying being outside.
Wed - westpark (3.3 miles 0:29). just a quick jaunt around the neighborhood, happy to be outside
Thurs - westpark (2.5 miles 0:23). took a bit of effort to get outside, and never really felt good, so i cut it short and called it a day.
Fri - 7th st out and back (6.2 miles 0:54). legs felt pretty good going up, and very relaxed coming back down.
Sat - garden of the gods explorations (6.2 miles 1:15). lots of climbing, though my legs doth protest. the descents and flats felt pretty good, nothing was fast by any means, but a nice day outside, especially once i was able to get away from the crowds.
Sun - red rock openspace explorations (16.5 miles 3:15). felt pretty good on much of the climbing (even negotiating the mud and ice), had a fun time on the wiggly descents. wound up turned around and doing the last 5 miles or so on roads (no fun, then again neither is wandering around trying ot find your way back to the car:) i really struggled with the final 2 or 3 miles of this one. guess i should pay more attention to my eating habits.
Retrospective - still not able to put in consistent long days (not even medium days). my legs were pretty beat throughout the weekend, had a decent week of mileage and perhaps time, it's becoming a bit of a struggle to get out in the cold and snowy conditions.
