HPb week 16

Been slacking on the running posts, which I'm sure everyone misses. So here's the rundown on a good week:

Mon - 5.6 miles easy through Red Rock Canyon in 1:00:17

Tues AM - 2.7 miles to Rainbow Falls and back in 31:04.
Tues PM - 9 miles on the Sante Fe trail in 1:38:14. Had to stop three times to shit, kind of reminded me of Lake City '07.

Wed - bus to work, then ran 14.3 miles home in 2:16:21. Two weeks ago this same run took me 2:46:21.

Thurs AM - 5.5 miles through Red Rock Canyon in 1:02:17.
Thurs PM - Incline happy hour, 5.5 miles in 1:33:33.

Fri - my house to Section 16 and back. 15.5 miles in 3:15:59.

Sat - Three Peaks Run, including the Incline. 12 miles in 3:49:22. Go ahead and laugh at that slow time, it was a retarded hard course.

Sun AM - 6.8 miles in 1:18:16 on the Garden trails. Horribly hungover.
Sun PM - Incline straight up and straight down. 4.3 miles in 1:44:13. It actually takes me longer to come down the Incline than it does to go up it.

Overall a real solid week. 81.2 miles, over 18 hours on my feet! Also took a big step by joining corepower yoga. I've been more or less doing nothing but running for the last 19 years, and while that is a very healthy hobby all that pounding has really taken a toll on my body. I have somewhat serious lower back pain (which I think is more of a tight hamstring issue than a back issue) as well as other aches and pains that go along with certain workouts and the stiffness and minor pain in my right ankle thanks to the Air Force. I'm hoping the flexibility gained through yoga helps all these issues go away. I did 5.5 hours of hot yoga last week, including three 90 minute sessions. I was SMOKED after the 90 minute classes, don't think I ever sweated that much even when I lived in Texas.
