Week Ending - Oct. 21

Monday, 10/15/12
w/ Flynn & Otis @ Coors lots, 25 mins
After traveling back from Chicago and getting locked out of the house, I was tired and almost took the day off. Rallied and took out the boys for quick night run to keep running streak going (290 days in a row).

Tuesday, 10/16/12
w/ Griffin @ Wash Park, 60 mins
We ran from the house, over to the park for loops and then back home. He ran well as always.
w/ Auggie @ Great Lawn Park, 61 mins
Took the usual route down to 6th and east to the park. Think I'm feeling affects of coming back to altitude with headaches, so just tried to hang close to this speedster.

Wednesday, 10/17/12
w/ Petchuli @ Sloan's Lake, 58 mins
We missed our Monday run so was happy to show up to MaxFund and see her. We ran a big loop around the lake and surrounding neighborhood, probably our best run yet.

Thursday, 10/18/12
w/ Griffin @ Wash Park, 62 mins
Faster run today in the cool temps, he's in great shape.
w/ Flynn & Otis @ Coors Field lots, 27 mins
Got the boys out before their dinner for a quick run, all barefoot on the smooth concrete.

Griff takes rest stop in the park

Friday, 10/19/12
w/ Griffin @ Wash Park, 60 mins
Another great morning run - sunning and mid 40's. Griff was all business and kept a strong pace the whole way.
w/ Optimus @ Great Lawn Park, 54 mins
It warmed up by noon so I took it a little easier with the Big Guy. We ran from Monaco over to the park for loops and 2 substantial water breaks - he can drink!

180lb Optimus take a break at the 4 mile mark

Saturday, 10/20/12
w/ Flynn & Otis @ Coors Field lots, 35 mins
We ran past the Stadium a bit south before turning back for home, nice short run.

Sunday, 10/21/12
Solo @ Torreys Peak (14,267') + Bakerville bike path, 4hr & ~4000' vertical
Parked on the dirt road about 2 miles from the TH to start the run. Ran most of the way up to 12,500 before putting on Microspikes and hiking more of the of the snow packed trail. Hit the summit and got back to the truck in 3hr26, drove to bottom of dirt road and finished with a cool down run on the bike path. Great weather, nice outing in the mountains.

total 11hr 22min
