A.M. 6.5 miles in 7:14 pace Now THAT is the wintertime in Boulder I know and love.....WHITE OUT!! I saw Simon and Colleen run past when I was about four miles into my run. The blinding snow disabled me from recognizing them until we were four feet apart at which point I spontaneously blurted out "SIMON" just to let them know I was alive, and I continued on my blustery way. P.M. 4.5 miles in 7:30 pace Met Coach D at FAC for a nice chat and to touch base on training for the next few months. He went over a lot of very important training and racing details and we formulated my specific"plan." It was great to get some one on one time to pick his brain and make sure I'm doing the right things. I'm looking forward to another session in the gym with Colleen tomorrow. After chatting with Coach for an hour or so, I headed upstairs for another easy run on the treadmill while the kids continued to enjoy themselves in child care. I love the fact that every time I pick my kids up from child care at FAC they don't want to leave. It means they are enjoying themselves and being enriched while I get my stuff done. |
