Urlea, when is your marathon? For some reason I was thinking it's at the end of May, but if you're tapering, it must be sooner. Tapering...good times.

I didn't do the trail race yesterday because I exercised poor judgment and actually believed the weather forecast. It didn't rain much (although the trail was muddy), so it would have been a good day to go out and run with others. Instead I sulked and grumbled but went to Crossfit, which made me feel better. And I decided to try to get in the 22-miler today, and woke up to rain/snow. Nice. So off to the dreadmill I went. But while I was at the gym it cleared enough to entice me to finish my run on the trail, so I'm happy to report that I did not run 22 miles on the dreadmill (only 14 ). The other 8 were on a muddy trail. I saw 2 Lewis' woodpeckers, which are a sure sign of spring. The mule's ears are starting to bloom, too.

Took my first ice bath of the season. I love ice baths.

Mileage was lower than it should have been this week. And the coming week will be challenging as well since we're going on a mountain bike adventure in Fruita, CO next weekend. There won't be any running there!
