Miles:This week: 0.00 Month: 0.00 Year: 0.00

Wow new month already! Yikes that 100 is coming up too fast.  First real run of the week.  It felt good to take a few easy days after Saturday.  Started at Wheeler to Maples to the CW overlook and back.  On the way up, when I came off of Maples onto the trail up to the over look I slowed a bit to hit my gel and drink some water.  2 guys on bikes tried to pass me, I took a sip of my water, but it back in the holster, gave the guy a glance and shifted gears and took off, leaving them in the dust!  I got to the top hung out, watched the sunset and headed down, passing them still on the way up, both gave me a funny look.  I love that we can run up hill faster than most people on bikes, like revenge for all the times they about kill me on blind corners and I think it kinda blow their mind.  Anyway, I got out late and had the pleasure of running up in nice evening shade and caught the sunset from the overlook and raced the fading light back to the car. I lost, and ended up runnning the last 3 down a very dark trail with a crappy light.  14 miles 2450 vert. 9:04 pace.

Ya, back down icebox in the Daaark! That place is dark even in the middle of the day. That run always kicks my booty for some reason.
