Week ending 25JAN2026

60.4 mile week.  Was a tad challenged at the end of the week with a single digit cold snap.

Mon - 11.2 miles in the AM, most with LF
Tue - 8.1 miles, most with GW in the AM
Wed - 7 miles in the AM solo
Thu - 9 miles on an early start with LF
Fri - got out in the AM solo to bang out 3 on the ditch; in the PM connected with GW and got another 6.  It was cold.  
Sat - 7.2 with JZ out to Interlocken and back
Sun - 8.4, first mile with TZ.  




























Back to SF next week - so will see what I can pull off with some warmer temps / work challenged schedule.

Week ending 18JAN2026

Mon - 7 miles
Tue - 9.1 miles, a bunch with LF
Wed - AM with the Coyote Crew:  6 on 3:30, 75 seconds rest.  8 miles.
Thu - 15 miles!  A handful with LF and then over to meet GW for a bunch.  
Fri - late in the day and a cold front blew in.  Kept it short - 4 miles.
Sat - 8.7 miles with GW on most.  
Sun - 8.2 miles out and back on the Interlocken Ditch, doing 10 by minute on, minute off on the return.

Long overdue I guess but I landed a lifetime pass to the National Parks as a veteran.  Didn't know that was a thing.  

60.2 miles on week.

Week ending 11JAN2026

Most of the week was in Vegas for CES.  





















Vegas is Vegas.   A strip of ridiculous opulence, glitz and wealth adjacent to all the issues a city and each of us face otherwise.  






















Two days of the crush of humanity of CES was more than enough for my wee brain.  














Monday - 6 miles solo, sorta dragging.
Tuesday - zero.  Travelled to LAS, had a full day.  Walked a stupid amount.
Wednesday - 6:30 start with LF and did 8.6 out from the Strip to UNLV.
Thursday - another 6:30 start with LF and did 10 heading west from the Strip.
Friday - back to CO.  Tired and 6 miles
Saturday - got some new Nike Vomero Plus.  Tested them out on the ditch sidewalk up into Interlocken.  Nice.  10 miles.
Sunday - 10 miles, about half of it on the front with GW.

So - a bit over a 50 mile week.  Nothing great on intensity but my runs with LF end up being a bit faster than I would self select for an easy run.  

Connect has me at 5.5 miles of walks but that is what I fired the watch up for.  Tuesday was something like 25k steps of walking with the conference.  Anyway, 86 miles of running on the year which is almost 50x what I did last January.

I do need to get back to body weight exercises.

Week ending 04JAN2026


Happy New Year.  

Again, taking advantage of stupid warm for December temps and some down time in work and getting out for some miles.  

Mon - 7.3 miles, a few with GW
Tue - 8.1 miles, with the Coyote Crew at BHS track, 8 x 3 minutes on, 90 sec off.  
Wed - 14.1 miles, a bunch with LF and then headed over to BHS to jog with GW a bit as he coached IW
Thur - 8.1 miles solo, out on Ditch into Interlocken and back
Fri - 10.3 miles, most of them with Don B - who I have not run with in over a year.  Need to correct that
Sat - 7.3 miles.  Tired.  Solo.  Guessing I was a bit beat because I got the Covid and flu vax yesterday.
Sun - 9.9 miles, a few of them with GW.

This put me at 65.2 miles on the week, with 13 more of walking (as of this writing).  I felt it a bit ... just a bit tired.  Luckily I had some time in the afternoons to grab a nap or two.  I am expecting a bit less next week as I will be on the travel bus to CES.  

2026 plans in a post soon.
