A short but brisk run today. First day that I felt like I really had my legs back. Start ramping up again next week.

A bit chilly but a nice morning for a run here in Denver. Supposed to get stormy this afternoon.

8x800 at altitude in Denver. Goal pace was 2:30. All of them were 2:28-2:30 except for one which was 2:32. Hitting a pedestrian 2:30 800m was never so hard.

4M tempo run at 5:15-5:18. Felt pretty good. Then a 10 minute easy jog before jumping into a hill workout of 5x1:00 with 2:30 rest. The hills were pretty hard. Felt pretty slow.

Bad morning for a sun tan. Perfect morning for a run. We were set to see Kung Fu Panda 2 in Issaquah so I took the Preston trali from home to the theatre. Yes...I had a change of clothes waiting for me.

Wonderful run. Actually faster than normal. Managed a 6:10 pace without really trying. Must be the plentiful oxygen.

Gorgeous morning in Denver. Low 40s headed for the mid 80s. Planning on running 5-6 more miles this afternoon basking myself in the warm sun getting some good vitamin D.

P.M. Another 6 this evening.
