Monday:
PM: 5.15 miles (42:32) Marshall Road after work.

6-15-2010
Tuesday:
AM: 8.45 miles (1:10:39) 500' vertical Running down lower Big Bluestem I started a stampede of cows running down the trail. One of the mama cows got sick of running and stopped right on the trail with two young ones behind her. Every time I tried to get around her she'd take a few steps towards me like she was going to charge after me. I did eventually get around her, all's well that ends well.

Wednesday:
PM: 10.1 miles (1:22:13) 1300' vertical Ran south to meet up with the Mesa Trail and took that over to Bear Canyon then back home. Same run the last few Wednesdays, and I ran this as a tempo run. This week I just wasn't feeling it. The time wasn't too bad, but I just didn't feel strong.

Saturday:
Rest 0 miles I decided this week should be a recovery week since Jenna will be gone next weekend and I plan on doing a lot of running. Also abdominal strain seems to be acting up again so I'm a bit concerned about that. I'll probably have to back off the vertical.

Sunday:
PM: 12.05 miles (1:40:34) 600' vertical Took it easy and soaked in South Boulder Creek for a bit at the end of the run.
--------------------
Totals:
Miles: 58.6
Hours: 8h 38min
Vertical: 6 100'

Bike Totals:
Miles: 46.5
Hours: 3h 35min

This includes biking to work and biking around town running errands, nothing with any real hard effort.

Rest week. One thing that really bugs me is my abdominal strain started acting up at the end of this week...on a rest week which sucks. Next week I'll have to back off the vertical towards the beginning of the week. The pain isn't too bad, and I can certainly run though it, but I want to make sure it heals well.
