Not a great deal to talk about here with regards to my training this week. Didn't run much and ran a fun but lackluster race on Saturday, then had a blast at the Towers aid station with Alistair, Greg, Steve and Rob on Sunday morning at the Bluesky Marathon.
A little ink time in this Sunday's Xplore section of the Coloradoan.
Toying with the idea of running a road marathon in February, but the prospect of training for it (i.e., lots of focused road running) is less than appealing. However, I have a feeling that getting into legitimate marathon shape would be a great (and different) way to build a base for the 2011 racing season. I dunno.
This Thursday, the Fort Collins Trail Running group is meeting at the upper (main) Horsetooth parking lot for the 'Assault on the Rock,' which will be an open (but handicapped) time trial to the top of Horsetooth Rock. By 'open,' I mean that runners will be free to choose their route as long as they stay on trail. There are numerous route combinations to choose from, with arguments to be made for most in terms of expediency, so it should be fun.
The Tortoise & Hare Fall/Winter/Spring handicapped running series of seven races begins this coming Sunday with a loop of Maxwell (Pineridge) Reservoir. The loop is just under 4 miles with a mix of crushed gravel and moderately technical trail. If you plan on running, please help the RD (me) by showing up early. The series is free to members of the Fort Collins Running Club or $10 to non members. A free bagel breakfast at the Rocky Mountain Bagel Works is included after each race (what a deal). Individual membership is $20 and family membership is $30. More info on the club's website.
