Trying to combine speed work with hill repeats.  This is a fantastic lung burning workout!

Saturday - 03/02/13 ----- My Birthday!

Horestooth Mtn - 1 hr 46 mins

Workout went like this:
Horsetooth Liquor store > Soderberg TH > up Towers > down Herrington > up Wathan > Horsetooth summit > down Rock Trail > main TH > down hill to truck

Horsetooth Summit looking South East


Decided to head out up to Horsetooth Mtn for my morning birthday run.
It was slow going -- trails were mid shin deep of snow...and not fluffy snow, more like a hard snow pack icy crunch with every step.  Slow going, but enjoyed getting in a beautiful trail run.



Sunday - 03/03/13
