Another day in paradise. Cool, dry morning (53) - gonna get up to low 80's today though. Did warm-up and then 4 x 1mile repeats (approx. 6:40/mile) Not really a pace run but not really a speed workout. Ah, nothing pressing to train for right now - kind of breaking my rules of engagement. Tomorrow will probably be even worse. I'll claim that I'm "tapering" for Hood to Coast (sounds good but not really the truth.)

Thank you for your kind comments on Pikes. My first ascent was in 1979. It is a GREAT joy to still be able to do it. You have some terrific runs on your docket, too! My son ran Hood-to-Coast some years ago representing Adidas. He ran 16 sub-four minute miles. He is not competing any more, but now enjoys the Pikes Peak run with me. It is not his distance so he just jogs it and enjoys it. Will post a photo a little later on Pikes...
Best, Fred
