Back to 100 feet above sea level.

Last week in Denver it was nice to simply run slow and enjoy the new scenery.

No intervals. No gym. No pushing the pace or heart rate.

But back behind Disney’s Magic Kingdom, all that changes in an hour.

Rocky Mountain High (again)

It’s a 5k from hotel to here.

 

Rocky Mountain High (again).

A last minute email from a Copyblogger Exec carried an invitation to breakfast. This was a golden opportunity.

But to take it would mean no run.

Declined the offer.

Hated to do it, yet the decision was easy.

The run was cut short at 9.5 miles due to an early start at Ellie Caulkins and a late start from the hotel.

The goal of running

Best HR motivational speaker in USA

 

The goal of running is to see what we are humanly capable of.

And to use our body in a way that goes back to the origin of mankind.

Running is how we escaped danger.

Running is how we caught food.

Modern day running is how we found joy on the playground.

Remember?

Yesterday’s track workout:

  • 2-mile slow jog warm up
  • 5 x 400: 98, 95, 88, 91, 89 (recovery = 400/4min walk)
  • 800 walk/8min walk between sets)
  • 5 x 800: 4:00, 3:41, 3:33, 3:21, 3:11 (recovery = 400/4min walk)
  • 2 mile cool down
  • 1 hour core and strength workout at Golds

Felt some mild shine pain during 400’s and decided to slow the pace and increase the distance, hence the 800’s.
