Friday - a rare rest day. Was hoping to bail from work early to meet $100 down on the CO trail. I was unable to pull that off, so I just picked up Moose and we chilled at the house.
Sat - another zero. Left at 5AM to drive to Eddysville. Saw Connilee and Amanda finish up a solid chunk of the Colorado trail. They should finish the thing next year. Then $100 and I drove into Gunnison for lunch. I highly recommend the PowerStop Gas Station in Gunny. Great burgers.
We picked up a hitchhiker as we were leaving Gunnison. Figured he was a hiker needing a lift back to the trail. But it turns out he was a homeless kid out traveling and he was heading to Salida. We parked at Soulcraft and pointed him towards Tenderfoot Hill. $100 and I hit Soulcraft and Tres Litres and camped up near the Cottonwood TH.
Sun - left Salida fairly early and I got in a good run on the Garden roads. Nine miles.
Another week in the books.
run - 26.6 miles, four hours
ride - 86 miles, just over seven hours
hike - 23 miles, 8.5 hours
Should finish up the Tennessee run this week, as I type this I have less than ten miles to go.
I have two races coming up. The Classic 10k on Sunday, and the National High School Trail Champs 5.5 miler on July 25. I'm in the citizens race obviously. But I'm not the oldest guy running! My endurance is shit but I think I'm in decent shape for some of this shorter stuff. That being said, Chicago just cancelled. Instead, I'll spend that weekend in Salida buying Kieran some pizza.
