Horsetooth Mountain Park - 1 hr 53 mins
Workout went like this:
Main TH > Rock Trail > Westridge > Towers > Spring Creek > up Wathan > Rock Summit > down Rock Trail > Main TH
First time back up on some hills in almost 2 weeks! Met up with Steve and I was able to drive our one and only working vehicle up there to get in an early run on this Memorial day. The girls stayed home and made breakfast which allowed me to use our car to get out there for a nice change of scenery.
Dave, my bro in law tagged along and hiked to the summit while Steve and I ran. Dave is new to the Fort, and showing him the local trails for hiking has been fun.

Starting from Spring Canyon Park
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Well its looking like my truck is permanently out of order. Time to trade in both our cars and get a somewhat newer minivan/SUV ride, but probably not until sometime in July. Getting out to the trails has been tough at times, but I sure do enjoy it even it its only for an hour or 2 here and there.
- Opted out of Pilot Hill 25 last minute. Combination of lackluster training and vehicle logistics aided my decision. I suppose I could have carpooled, but I would have needed a ride to the carpool spot!
- I also threw in an easy track workout this week. First one in over 4 months! I figured I needed to get my legs moving a bit, since the lack of trail running has dissipated any and all amounts of vertical I am usually getting in each week, I thought that a speed workout might be good to makeup for the little 5 feet of vertical I have been getting to and from work. Felt good to get the legs moving a bit.
