great weekend; cold again
I am so sad that I did not write anything immediately following XC Nationals, but oh well - I was so busy! Anyway the meet was totally awesome. It was so cool to see all of my running idols up close, running with each other. Boulder is such a great running town and it was really nice to see such huge crowds at the meet. The weather could hardly have been better, I think it was in the high 40s and sunny. Of course running conditions on the course were incredibly muddy, but I guess that is what one would expect considering that most of the golf course still had at least 6 inches of snow, so the ground was wet.
Anyway, so awesome. What a great thing to be able to see. I headed to the meet Saturday after a 10 mile run on a trail pretty close to the course. It was snowy in spots but really nice. One tunnel under a busy road, which is usually full of water, was iced over. I don't think I'd ever seen that!
Here are the last few days in my running life:
- Sunday - two 4 mile runs (one social, one just for a bit more mileage). It was so incredibly nice out, my second run was in 60 degree weather. Hooray!
- Monday - 6 miles in the morning, 60 minutes biking and lifting after work. I was kind of tired so I took my run very easy. The biking was nice and I got a ton of reading done.
- Tuesday (today) - 8 miles in the morning. It is getting colder again - I think it was 12 degrees out during my run. Right now it is snowing, I think we are supposed to get a few inches tonight. Tomorrow is supposed to be really cold, so I am just going to have to wear many layers in the morning as it's my only time to run.
It has been an incredibly busy week so far, and it is showing no signs of slowing down, but I think I will make it! We are heading to Seattle Friday morning, so it should be fun to trot around there for a few days. I've been there a few times but I don't think I've ever run there. How exciting!
