More base miles, puh-lease. We're shooting for 80+ this week.
I took Monday's run out steady from the get-go, pushing hard on the uphills and opening my stride on the downhills. It was challenging, and I loved it.
I wasn't feeling my juju at all when I started out on Tuesday. All I had was two dead legs underfoot. I didn't really care, though, because it was about 60 degrees and I was wearing just a sports bra and shorts and splashing though the mud like a 5 year old. My legs came around about 30 minutes into it, and I felt mucho, mo' betta'.
The juju was back in full force on Wednesday. I was feelin' my oats. I wish I had more time to play, but I had to go to work!
This week didn't play out as I had planned. See my blog entry all about it.

I love Google Earth. When someone tells me about someplace I've never been, I can zoom in and get a look. Since I've been to Yellowstone and Gardiner years ago, I have a fuzzy memory of ground-view. With Google, I can travel to places in a virtual way. I may be stuck in Denver and surrounding environs, but GE takes me away. So it's cool to hear you mention places like "Old Gardiner Road", the track (I assume is at the high school?)
I can't imagine how you fit in your great workouts every day, especially when you work such long hours so many days in a row.
