  • Monday 11 Nov (Veterans Day): Did the Manitou incline with the family as a hike today. No running but will count the mileage since I carried Eli in a pack. I wanted to squeeze in an evening run but the time didn't work out. That is ok this week though since I am supposed to be recovering a bit. We started down at memorial park because I didn't want to pay to park and that's where you park now right? Really proud of Anna for doing this whole thing and not complaining even once and hasn't done it since before having Eli.

      Friday 15 Nov: Most gorgeous day of the year! Great day to run the perimeter of an entire Air force Base. Just went slow and long to enjoy the weather that picked up to 20mph wind after we finished. Great week to have a "rest/cutback." Note that I walked the first 3/4 mile to warmup and then slowly increased running to pace. I did the same for the cooldown at the end. It was nice to run with my buddy Sean. Nice chatty run as opposed to my normal quiet run where people from the outside might think I'm crazy singing out loud and jumping around all nimbly bimbly.

      Sunday 17 Nov: Watch came in Friday. Finally got to do the first workout! Did a 10 miler mostly in the dark but it was no wind and Full moon. I was surprised to see how I had to slow down to maintain the 155 Maffetone heart rate throughout. The first and last half mile were walking and the half mile after and before those were warmup pace jogging. So much for cutting mileage this week but at least I got a break from the long run.
