Week Ending May 1

Mon. April 25 - Day off.  Still really sore from the race.

Tues. April 26 - 11 miles in 88 min (8:00 pace).  I met Jeff and Patrick for a lunchtime run that became a little longer than I had anticipated.  We climbed the powerline in the prairie before turning around and coming in on the bottom section of the Pilot Hill course.  Got hit by a storm about 2/3 of the way through.  Springtime in Laramie...

Wed. April 27 - Day off.  For some reason, I woke up just hurting in general.  Race, day off, long run probably didn't help.  No hill workout this week.

Thurs. April 28 - 9 miles in 71 min (7:53 pace).  Another lunchtime run with Jeff and Patrick.  Felt good on the single track climb heading out, got blasted by the wind coming back in.  Springtime in Laramie...

Fri. April 29 - 6 miles in 40 min (6:40 pace).  Form workout at the fieldhouse.  No Coach today; not sure where he was.  I did the 8 x one lap with half lap jog rest.  Didn't time them, just ran on feel.  Felt pretty good, fairly loose.  Did a couple extra miles of warm-up and cool-down to add some miles.

Sat. April 30 - 5.5 miles in 43 min (7:49 pace).  This run was just to get out and do something.  The weather was terrible; strong NW winds with intermittent blowing snow.  I decided I didn't want to be out in that crap too long.

Sun. May 1 - 15 miles in 114 min (7:36 pace).  Jason was in town with the fam, so he towed me along on the Sunday long run.  We met up with Brian for a fun climb up CC.  I love that trail, and nothing says Cowboy cross-country quite like blasting the 30 min climb early going into summer.  Tacked on a loop in the prairie and headed for home to hang out with all the kids.  Good run, good day.
