slow trail run/hike to Gudy's

With Kim, Colorado trail from 2nd trailhead, to Gudy's Rest. 6+ miles slow hike/jog; untimed; ~90 minutes including snack break at the top. ~1000 ft climb.

Saturday, December 24, 2005

trail tempo run; Raider Ridge; PR

Trail Run:
Horse Gulch->Rocky Road->Raider Ridge loop
tempo pace; 5+ miles; 940 feet climb on the Suunto
Time 50:52


Previous recorded PR is 50:41, but I started my watch at the parking lot instead of at the gate as usual, so this is almost certainly a PR by 20-30 seconds. Didn't wear HR monitor.

Back of my shoulder joint is very sore from something I did yesterday. Will need to take at least a few days off to heal it up.

Mike is here for a couple days. Ran Animas City Mtn in 1:17, avg HR 152, ~6.5 miles, ~1500+ ft climb.

Then drove up to Molas Pass and snowshoed for a couple of hours. Did some deep-powder wallowing that was a good workout.

Very cool--this is the first time I've tried these, inspired by Lee. Not as hard as I thought.

Sunday, December 18, 2005

still slow

Did about 3 miles or so slow on CR223 today. Took the inlaws to ABQ yesterday and visited Lee; trained a bit. His Eleiko Oly-lifting bar is amazing. Hopefully I'll be able to train for real tomorrow.

Friday, December 16, 2005

very light workout

Still not entirely over the cold--this has been a bad one.

Did 5 rounds of "Cindy", not for time.

Monday, December 12, 2005

climbing wall

Just played around on the climbing wall today. Still sick.

Sunday, December 11, 2005

just a little hanging/pulling work

Still have the cold. Just did some pullups/hanging ab work/lockoffs/etc playing around in the garage.

Saturday, December 10, 2005

SAR training; under the weather

Avalanche training at Red Mountain. Not very strenuous. Slammed my knee REALLY hard on a rock, and now Ian has given me his cold. I could feel myself fighting it off for days, but now I actually have it...

Friday, December 09, 2005

'11-'

A Gym Jones standard, "11", at home in the driveway:

5 x ball slam @ 20# ball
10 pushups (parallelettes)
15 DB swings @ 35#

11 rounds. Time: 14:45.

The swings are supposed to be with a 53 pound kettlebell (hence '11-'), but a 35 DB is all I have until Santa brings me my KB. Doing this with 53# will be rough!

Finished with 10 very slow rafter pullups, lever practice on rings, and 41 walking lunges back to the house.

Thursday, December 08, 2005

6 x one-arm db swing, each arm

Sunday, December 04, 2005

Saturday, December 03, 2005

intermediate trail run

Same as last weekend, solo:
Sale Barn->Cowboy->Big Cyn->South Rim loop
~9 miles (per DMT folks last week)

1:25

Felt strong. Though it felt fast (for me), I'm not convinced I can actually run trails at that pace for 9 miles, so I wonder if the DMT mileage estimate is long.

Avg HR 150; max 164

Friday, December 02, 2005

OHS: worked up to several sets of 6 x 85

Breathing DB Swing ladder: up to 1-10 @ 50 (not to failure)

Kurt did this with me and decided to call this one "Lucy".

8 walking lunges
5 push press
8 walking lunge
5 pullups
10 second lockoff at top of pullup

5 rounds @ 30# DBs on lunges & push press. Time: 12:21 -- still not feeling 100%, so took rest as needed

Misc lockoff & lever practice
