Ridgeline fun

July 28, 2013 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
Had a very productive morning: up early, did laundry, then as it dried, went to Vero to work on a gait analysis (I'm charging $200 now and people are buying it! Awesome!). Thought, "No way Britt would be working this early", but sure as shit, I walked in and she was in back. Kept walking through, exited the back door. No thanks!

So I went to "Reggie's" to get the gait study done, then back to my apt to fold laundry, then to the run!

The plan was to stay in town, but get in some vert on Ridgeline. The HR stays so low, early, that I didn't track it 'til I got to the ridge. Ran up to Baldy, then stayed on the ridge to the base of Spencer, then pow-hiked up the North Face, which must be about...99% grade. Hard to stay under 150 just hiking.

From there, ran around/down to the Ridgeline again, then all the way back down to the bark, then back up baldy again.

By the 2nd Baldy, I had to hike quite a bit to keep in range (that, plus the heat). Then on the flat 4.5 return I had to run about 8:20-40 to keep it at 150, probably an OK response for a 3hr run, two days after another 3hr run.

Ran into John Ticer, who was doing a **six hour time trial** solo at Amazon! What a badass!

Listened to tunes the whole time; JT's 20/20 for the first two hrs, including "Strawberry Bubblegum" on repeat for about 45+ minutes!

Great run!

Post-run: good convo with my mom, then I called Beata, the Polish girl I blew it with last week. I did NOT want to call her - I wanted to cut bait and forget it - but I gave her my word I'd call. I hoped to God she wouldn't answer. She didn't. I left a nice, funny VM. Felt good about doing that.

Rewarded myself with a shopping trip at Macy's. B-)
