Gateway Loop

At lunch I ran the whole loop, up to the saddle for the first time, starting at the Horseshoe trailhead. I coughed like crazy, almost threw up in the saddle, thought my calf was going to give out on me again a couple times, but I made it and I am very happy. It was beautiful up there, 5.0 miles.

104th-Gateway loop

At lunch Thursday ran from 104th/Bell trailhead up 104th trail to Gateway, then right to Bell Pass intersection and back the same way. About 3.6 miles. It was tough with the cough and all. Yesterday I went to the Dr. and he told me I have a sinus infection and I'm on stuff for it now. Prolly not such a great idea running this week.

Quartz-Paradise

On Tuesday at lunch I ran down Quartz from 104th st . trailhead to Paradise, then up it for awhile and back. About 5k total.

Horizon-101 bridge

After a ridiculous 2 weeks of having a cold, I finally made myself go running at lunch today. It wasn't the most fun time I have had, and I had a nice coughing fit halfway, under the freeway bridge. Anyway, ran about 3 1/2 miles from Horizon park, down Westworld trail past Notre Dame to a freeway bridge over a wash up near Bell Road.

Cactus Bridge

I got screwed out of yoga today thanks to another unplanned late day meeting, so I went running after work. Ran 5.96 mile route from Horizon park to Cactus bridge and back, longest run I have done in about 10 months.

Dobson Ranch Lake

This morning skipped yoga (didn't get near enough sleep) and ran the 3.96 route to the park in Dobson ranch. Not bad speed again, less than 2 mins off PR. That makes about 24.5 miles for the last 7 days, I guess my leg has healed!

Bark Park

This morning ran the 5.43 mile loop thru the bark park. It was nice out, early before it got real hot out, and I got passed by and followed for a while an incredibly hot running chick. Also, less than a minute off PR time, my speed isn't totally gone :)

Lakeshore Bridge

This morning ran down the canal to the Lakeshore bridge, 3.37 miles. It is nice to get some speed going after all these slow trail runs.

Horseshoe-Gateway

Yesterday at lunch I ran from the Thompson Pk/Union Hills trailhead down Horseshoe trail to Gateway Loop, then left to the Windgate Pass intersection and back, about 3.4 miles. It was hot, slow and brutal.

104th-Gateway-Levee

At lunch today ran the route again from the 104th trailhead to the Bell Pass/Gateway loop intersection, about 3.4 miles. Hot as hell out again, but this will be over soon.

Wellsite

This morning ran down the canal to the wellsite between Alma School and Country Club, about 4.9 miles. It was really nice out, but tough going for some reason.
