Shift

Since the birthday 60k, my training focus has shifted to race preparation. No longer are my days filled with long slow runs. Nope. Now the training calendar is filled with hill repeats, tempo runs and intervals. Ayyeee yieeee yieeeee! I actually have to lift my knees! What next?!

However, this is nowhere near the seismic shift that Boulder has experienced in its weather. Last week shorts became standard running attire, sweat plastered my back and brow during my weekend long run, free time was spent digging in the garden, big hats and sunscreen became the norm. Turn the calendar to April 3rd: snow! 'Tis springtime in the Rockies!
