Week Ending May 7, 2011

This was a good week as I got in a lot of miles again and went to one of my favorite trails, Waldo Canyon, for the first time this year. Sunday started with an easy 4. Monday was a double: 8 in the morning followed by a workout in the afternoon. I ran a 10-mile tempo. Tuesday was a long run and Wednesday was another double. I went about 5 in the morning and about 9 in the afternoon. Thursday was another moderate run in Cheyenne Canon. Friday was a solid workout. I ran 4x1.5 mile repeats, then ran an easy mile, then did one hard 800. Friday afternoon was an easy shakeout. On Saturday, I ran for 2 hours in Waldo Canyon. I finally found the connector to Williams Canyon and ran over there for a while before heading back to the car. I'm running the Colfax Half Marathon in Denver in two weeks and have to run better than I ran at Platte River a few weeks ago. 104 miles for the week
