Great run, lots of climbing and descending --- felt good.  Easy/moderate effort throughout. Took the downhills easy. Nothing kamikaze! Focused on the climbing sections.

Worked a half day today since I have Eliana all weekend long and this was the best day to find time for a long run this week.

AM: Horsetooth Falls hike with Eliana.

having a blast!

snack time!

Falls....more like a trickle right now!

PM: easy 40 minutes (20 out/back) with Elli in the stroller along the Spring Creek trail.

Felt good to loosen the legs up with the hike in the morning, and get in an easy recovery jog in the afternoon after her nap.

A great Daddy-daughter day!

Easy 50 minutes in the PM around town after Andrea got back home from visiting with her good friend Dionne for the weekend.



----------------------------------------------------------------------

• A Great Daddy-Daughter weekend!  Elli loves nature -- exploring and getting her hands on rocks and water...etc   I really enjoy these "just the 2 of us" weekends from time to time.

• A solid long run on Friday afternoon felt good.  Cant wait until Quad Rock 50 next month!

• Now that I have a parking pass, I hope to get in more Horsetooth Rock summits this year. I plan to get up there as much as I can from here on out.(work schedule aside)
