8/9/13

Thu 8/8 - double, 70 minutes easy

AM - 35 minutes easy, Salida. Over the river to the Tenderfoot Mtn. trails, went up the dirt road to Frontside trail and took that back down. In hindsight it might have been a little easier to do the route in reverse but no complaints overall. Left thigh is feeling better, still not quite all the way back though. Got in a thorough stretching/core routine after the run and before breakfast which was very necessary.

PM - 35 minutes, Crested Butte. Out and back on the winding recreation path that leads from CB to Mt. CB. Going from 8900' to 9200' or so in a bit over 2 miles. A couple of short steep stretches otherwise the "path" (paved sidewalk more like) gradually winds its way up the slope. A bit of monsoonal weather tried to push through, no real rain to speak of but very threatening skies until right when I was finishing up the run. Combined with a gusty breeze it felt fairly chilly in fact. This weather pattern is not what I signed up for alas.
