Mud Slinger (Week 6/52)

This was another week that included rain!  We are now over 15" for the season.  After years of drought I am loving how green our hills are.

Sunday - Rode 15.15 miles

Monday - Rested

Tuesday - Ran 5.09 miles +559' elevation
This was a wet one!  The roads were wet when I got up but it wasn't actively raining.  By the time I made it downstairs the rain was coming down.  It let up so I decided to head out.  There was a heavy mist the entire time I was out but the temps were in the upper 50s so it felt great!

Wednesday - Ran 2.01 miles +169' elevation

Thursday - Rode 12.27
I hit the trail again and had my 10th best time of 105 efforts on the 3.4 mile climb.  The trail was much wetter than last week and there are a lot of puddles.  I hit one of the creek crossings wrong and splashed my way through.  A good trail ride includes a mud splattered jacket and a little mud on your chin...

Friday - Ran 1.97 miles +169' elevation
This was Les' second run of the week and he shaved 3 1/2 minutes a mile off his pace!  He has degenerative disks otherwise he would be crushing me on a regular basis.  I would love it if he could run long distances with me.

Saturday - Rested
It was raining again and I had zero motivation.  I spent the morning working on taxes, which is not even close to fun, but they are done and we don't owe anything so that's a good thing!

February Run Climbing Challenge Progress:  892 meters/2,927 feet - 44% complete
I didn't get quite as much climbing in this week but the second half of February will be all running - we booked a last minute trip to Hawaii and leave on Tuesday.  Tantalus, here I come!
