I had a good week of training. I logged 45.38 miles. After my tough run last Saturday I was dying to get back at it. I subbed in some mountain biking on Sunday. Weather kept me on the low trails Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday I discovered another whole network of trails in the hills of North Ken Caryl. I had another good run on Thursday before heading up to Buffalo Mountain on Saturday.
I was bummed about the training run last week and was starting to doubt myself for CPTR. The hills on the course are not that bad but I got smashed by them. If I'm going to have the race I want I knew I had to start attacking vertical. That experience and TF putting up a 3k+ hill repeat run inspired me. 10,908 feet this month so far. It's not exceptional but I am glad to be back running the hills and its starting to pay off.
If I have a solid long run this weekend I should be in good shape for CPTR.
Keep attacking!!!!
