Road back from FAT!!!!!

Met Bret at his place this morning. Windy day. We did mostly trails with the last 30 minutes on the roads. Feeling sluggish from hunting. Hiked at least 8 hours a day between 8500' and 11700' over rugged terrain. Great cross training and mydad dropped a 4x6 bull so elk meat here I come. Picking it up at Thanksgiving.

Met Riley Ken Bryant Jason and Steve at riverdale parkway. Easy run and highlight was Jason clearing a gate that was neck high for him on a sarcastic dare from me. I thought for a second that I was going to have explain to his wife why he had no teeth. Got the heart racing.

PM 4.5 after work

7.5 with Riley on base at lunch.

Pm: 8 miles in the rain afterwork with Riley.

Aerobic Building day. Still feeling last Friday's hike (22 miles and guessing based on a topo map 8000-8500' of gain and loss throughtout the day) on the mountains. Had two bathroom stops but averaged 5:45 for the 8 miles and was negative split. Had my fastest miles of the day on miles 7 and 8. Cardio wise felt great, leg fatigue wise however I was rather flat.

PM 5.6 total on the Treadmill after work to avoid the gusting winds. Threw in 4x1/4 mile pick-ups progressively faster because I wanted to shake out my legs after the run this morning. full recovery between.

8.5 miles on the treadmill before work. Wind was too much to try and run outside.

Met with Bret Steve Ben and Jason at Bret's house and ran from there. Wind was stil rough and gusty but not constant so was able to run some in a decent rhythm. By the end however we were all rather thrashed. Wind storm need to end!
