Hills, hills, hills. So, after coming down from the mountains and running Mt. Falcon, I headed out on Monday and took off up APEX trail. My legs were a bit spent. I climbed consistently getting to the top of the Enchanted Forest trail in around 28min. As I started descending, my legs were what I like to call, "Completely pissed off at me." After descending so hard the previous day down Mt. Falcon, all I felt were the knots that formed in my butt and IT bands. So, a nice easy descent down APEX trail, and stretching. I took it real easy Tuesday (3miles) and feel much better today. I will do a flat 6-7 today at lunch and put in some builds to keep my speed honest. Adrienne and I are going to run Mt. Falcon this afternoon, but that will be a nice trot for me and a good workout for her. Her running is really coming along and it is fun to watch her get excited about racing.
We will be heading up Mt. Evans this weekend, but I do not know how far we will be able to make it. The road will be covered in snow, but hopefully the wind has kept it hard packed and runnable. I am tempted to jump in a 5k downtown this weekend (Sunday), but I will have to see how I feel after Mt. Evans. Until next time!

It's crazy how the downhills can kill you! When you do mt evans you should look into a set of shorty gaiters. They have them at REI and they are pretty breathable, but they keep your ankles safe. I have these ones and love them: http://www.rei.com/product/712867
