Mon-AM: 1:51, 4000' ~ Green & Bear
Ran from Chautauqua at 6am with Scott, Ian, Schlarb, DBo, and Tim. Went up 1st/2nd access to Green's summit before cruising the west ridge to Bear and dropping down Fern Canyon and back on Mesa. Legs didn't have a lot of pep, but the shin was solid. Upper 60s later in the day, yup!

Tue-AM: 1:49, 2800' ~ Green Mt+19min barefoot
Up Greg-Ranger and down 1st Saddle. Another early and sluggish morning, but still totally worth getting out there, esp when temps were nearly 50F before the sun even came up. Shin felt really good on the barefoot at the end. Brilliantly sunny and nearly 75F later in the day!

Wed-AM: 2:14, 4400' ~ Bear & Green
Ran to Chat to meet DBo and Joel at 6am before heading across on Mesa for an ascent of Fern Canyon. Bopped over Green on the way back, encountering some fairly treacherous icy conditions (freezing mist/drizzle all morning) on the 1st Saddle descent. Legs still have no pep on the uphills, but really psyched to get through this length of run with the shin feeling good.

Thu-AM: 1:33, 2800' ~ Green Mt.
Up Gregory-Ranger, down ASG with Scott. Ugh. Really easy ascent with lots of hiking and then actually a lot of hiking on the descent, too, but that was more because my shin was sore. Crazy icy conditions out there this morning. Leg felt a lot better jogging on the streets, but generally a shitty day where I was reprimanded for increasing my longest run by almost 25min yesterday. Stupid me, I can never get a break.

Sun-AM: :10 ~ Streets
Did a little test jog to see how the shin was feeling. Not bad, actually; I think hiking Green this morning would've been totally fine on it, but I still had to pack for NZ. Never a bad thing to rest it an extra day, either.
Hours: 7h37min
Vert: 14,000'
Lotsa fun getting out with the visitors to Boulder in the first half of the week, but it seems I slightly over-stepped my bounds on Wednesday morning, so I played it safe and just took the rest of the week off so that hopefully my shin is feeling better by time I get to NZ on Tuesday. I don't think I did anything too nasty to it and am optimistic that I'll still be able to enjoy everything I have on the docket over the next three weeks: Taranaki and Tongariro, Rotorua and a short relay leg next weekend at the Tarawera Ultra, portions of the Kepler and Routeburn Tracks on NZ's South Island and then to Auckland, Melbourne, and Singapore for New Balance appearances and the Down Under launching of the Minimus Zero. I hope to have a few updates from abroad.
