Week ending 24DEC2023

It was a good week.  60 miles plus of running, with a couple of days over 10 (doubles) and some fartlek stuff.  I almost felt like I was "getting ready to get ready" again.  

Most the runs were AM outings with the kiddos at BHS. 

Highlight run of the week of course was the Solstice Slog.  Has to be at least 10 years since we started this thing.  We kept is shorter and more tame on the miles and the stops this year but it was still an epic great conversation with the boys.

With stupidity following ...

KZ (who adamantly refuses to allow social media pix to be posted) got home on Saturday from Japan.  She will be here (ish) for two weeks before returning.  It is nice to have her home.

Got in a good Sunday AM run with Greg as the snow came in.

Week ending 17DEC2023

A little less than I would have liked to have got this week, but that seems to come a bit with some travel trips.  The long work days, combined with the short light days, being in a tech park with highways around me ... it made for less of a running week.  I even did some stuff this week on the treadmill.  It has been a minute since I have done that.  

So, Deerfield for a good part of the week with runs of 3-5 in the AM and/or evening. 

Got back Friday and hit Rails to catch some Slyjax.  

Then bolted over to the HS to participate in the basketball game half time recognition of the 2016 XC girl team getting into the Broomfield HS Sports Hall of Fame.  They get inducted on Sunday.

Saturday was more music - Off the Rail at Rails End, the Jons as the opener at the Gothic - and then of course another Roger Clyne show.  

Sunday included a 7 miler, part of Donnie B's 30 over at McKay Lake for his birthday (48k for 48 years).  Great to shoot the shit with the boys and clip off a few laps.  Need to do more of this.  

Sunday evening was the Broomfield High School Athletic Hall of Fame.  Fun to catch up with folks at this event.

Week ending 10DEC2023

Week ended up being primarily morning miles.  It was good to get out with GW, get it done, enjoy some sunrises.  50 something week, GW forcing some pickup activity in there.  

I should cross 2000 next week, and likely 2100 for the year.  Not great, but I didn't have a month that hit 250, and I missed all of May.  

Week ending 03DEC2023

A week in Colorado coming in just over 53 miles - a bunch of 8 mile days, a six miler, a nine, a day with some fartlek with GW.  Got invited to pace a little jaunt in July in the San Juans so I guess I got to get in shape.

These young women who ended up winning 5A XC State in 2016, and were 7th in the nation, are getting put into Broomfield HS Sports Hall of Fame.  Looking forward to that event in a few weeks.  

Been sitting out of Spare Change for a bit as I have been out of town.  Got invited to do a song with them on Saturday night at Over Yonder Brewing at their latest gig.
