So this is what a 100-mile week feels like...

Posted by simon on 4/9/2007 on simon's blog

... what a shame I've only done 36.

Mu left Achilles hurts, my right knee has a mobile ache, this morning my back went into spasm. Oh yes, and it's sub-30 degrees and snowing, I guess just to make sure we here can fully appreciate Bobby's North Pole run.

I wouldn't mind, but this was supposed to be an Easy Week.

I've just stumbled in from a one-hour, six-mile "run", that was actually great fun apart from my guilt about it being so slow. I'd seized the moment as soon as the snow stopped and sun reappeared, but by the time I got out on the trail it was so muddy that I was soon running like Frankenstein's monster. I had to abandon the trail and do my return loop on the verge at the side of the highway, finally detouring through a new housing neighborhood. See, we can do "urban" in Boulder, too.
