Training Week: August 17 - 23

Sunday: 

• AM Run: 15.91 Mi - 4,700' - 3:02 - Long: Pushed my long run back a day bc of Leadville. Alicia Shay joined me and we went up Mt Elbert. I ran the descent back to the car pretty hard and then added on about 6+ miles on the road at a steady pace. Longest and hardest effort I've done in nearly 2 months. Groin felt good the whole time.

Monday: 

• AM Run: 5.09 Mi - 800' - 0:45 - Easy: Quads were a little bit sore today from yesterday's descent. Standard Skunk loop.
• PM Hike: 3.71 Mi - 1,500' - 1:52 - Easy: Went up Saddle Rock with Jess then traversed across and down a drainage to get back to Chautauqua faster. 

Tuesday: 

• AM Run: 7.01 Mi - 1,100' - 1:04 - Easy: Cut this one a bit short. Could feel my groin and my quads are still pretty shot from the weekend. Also might run again tonight in Golden at a group run. Lower Shannahan loop.
• PM Run: 5.21 Mi - 1,100' - 0:51 - Easy: Super chill (mostly) group run from Bent Gate Mountaineering. I did let loose down a descent with Caleb once just bc I felt like it. Definitely need to explore some more of the trails down there in Golden.

Wednesday: 

• PM Run: 12.74 Mi - 3,800' - 2:29 - Hills: Finally back to a 2 peak day. Up Fern to Bear then over to Green and down Bear Canyon. A little longer than I had planned but I was running off of HR just to test it out. Kept it below 140 the whole time.

Thursday: 

• AM Run: 7.01 Mi - 1,200' - 1:03 - Easy: Kept it pretty easy since my groin was aching a little bit the past couple days. Out Skunk to Enchanted Mesa and back.
• PM Core/Strength: Core & hip stability workout.
• PM Core/Strength: Weight training workout.

Friday: 

• AM Run: 6.12 Mi - 800' - 0:54 - Easy: Ran both loops up at Betasso. Groin was being a bit annoying.. I think its getting aggravated when I do my exercises along with my core workout. Going to have to adjust it a bit.

Saturday:

• AM Run: 18.41 Mi - 6,800' - 3:57 - Long: Felt pretty solid today. Climbing well and descending the technical stuff pretty comfortably. Groin felt good and I wanted to do more but stopped because I got stuck in a crazy thunderstorm heading up to tag my 4th peak.. bailed half way.
