Mon-AM: 14 miles (2:06) Green Mt., up Front down Greenman, 2800'
Up in an easy effort 35:45. Pretty soft, punchy trail conditions.
Finished up with 2.5 miles barefoot at Kitt Fields.
PM: 13 miles (2:02) Green Mt. up Front down Gregory, 2800'
Terrible conditions (slushy, soft, super-punchy) made it almost
impossible to run up high in the deep snow. Rounded out the
run with 2 miles barefoot at Kitt. Awesome warm night.

Tue-AM: 15 miles (2:17) Green Mt., Ranger-Greenman, 2800'
Slowness and tiredness exacerbated by still soft/punchy
snow on Ranger. Need more sleep. 1mi barefoot at Kitt.
PM: 7 miles (1:00) Mesa-Skunk Creek, 1000'
Finished up with a mile of barefoot at Kitt. Hot out.

Wed-AM: 15 miles (2:10) Green Mt., Ranger-Greenman, 2800'
PM: 8 miles (1:02) Creek Path+2mi barefoot
04-01-2010
Thu-AM: 15 miles (2:10) Green Mt., Ranger-Greenman, 2800'
1.5 miles barefoot at Kitt at the end. 38:35 climb.
PM: 10 miles (1:08) Creek Path+Kitt
15x1min hard/easy barefoot at Kitt. 72-75sec 400m pace on
all of them and felt relaxed. Felt good to go fast for once.
04-02-2010
Fri-AM: 13 miles (2:00) Green Mt., Ranger-Greenman, 2800'
100th summit of Green Mt for the year. Very relaxed 39:45.
04-03-2010
Sat-AM: 32 miles (5:05) 4 x Green Mt., 10,000' vertical
37:20, 37:05, 36:50, 36:45 up the back and down the front.
Finished up with 2.5 miles barefoot at Kitt.
04-04-2010
Sun-AM: 15 miles (2:10) Green Mt., 3000'
Ran up the frontside and then down Bear Canyon and back
on Mesa. 33:16 for the climb, which surprised me because
I was never pressing. Massive stomach issues on the downhill.
PM: 13 miles (2:00) Green Mt., 2800'
Up Skunk and Bear Canyon, down Ranger-Gregory. Ran up to
Bear Canyon with Jocelyn. Had really bad stomach problems
once I got back down to town that precluded tacking on any
barefoot running; also bonked badly on the downhill after being
stuck in the library all day and not eating anything.

Another good week. It was nice to get in that little speed session Thursday; I'll probably continue to hit something like that once a week heading into Miwok, if the legs are feeling it. I was extremely pleased with the long run on Saturday. It went much better than I ever could've imagined, and even more importantly I was able to follow it up with another pretty big day--trying to transition into back-to-back long runs without damaging the knee.
Here are a few photos from this evening's run with Jocelyn--it's really fun to get out on the trails with her instead of always going solo. Once she gets the time to really focus the training for a month or so this summer, she could make an impact on a couple of mountain races. Experience running technical trails joined with 17:22 5K speed could be a potent combo.

(Kaibab-like water-bars on the ~1000' climb up to the Mesa Trail.)
(Traversing over toward Bear Canyon--and Bear Peak--on the Mesa.)
(Mouth of Bear Canyon.)
(Looking back east: sun setting on the backside of a flatiron.)
(The south-facing Green-Bear connector trail gets steep at times.)
