Into work via bus. Took it further than usual because I wanted to run a bit longer coming home and it has only been 10 days.

No long run. At work too late and I had to get home to feed Yaya.

At Meramec SP where Yaya & I camped last night. Then did the cave tour which, if you're local or in the area, is highly recommended.

Over to the Elks for steak night. The one upside of getting pulled at Leadville is that the legs are fine just a week later.

Some easy jogging around Leadville plus a very brief checkout of the singletrack along Turquois Lake to see if I should bring the big light in the morning (yes).

Took Yaya to Drum Corps International champs in Indy. Five hours in the car and six in stadium seating didn't do my sciatica any favors (oh, yeah, that's the problem with the glute, not a pull). Went for an easy walk around the artsy east side to loosen up (and procure coffe) before driving home.

Electric Duckling. Normal pace, no serious complaints.

At Forest 44. Forgot how bad the spiders are here. Despite holding a pretty stout web catcher, I ended up with quite on me. At least I won't have to deal with that at Leadville.

In to work. Glute was a bit stiff at first. Not too surprising as I ran home a bit firmer than usual (though still in the E/L range) yesterday. I guess I'll nix the tempo work this weekend and just run easy next week.

In to work. Glute was very tight after the off day. Loosened up after a few minutes. I think I need to embrace the idea that this thing won't be better in time for Leadville. Currently, it limits my stride length to the point that anything faster than 8:00/mi is infeasible. I don't expect to run that fast even on the pavement at Leadville, but if it tightens up during the race to where I can't run at all, well, that would be bad.

Time for another day completely off. Mainly because it's Yaya's birthday.

Easy run from Frontier Park after helping with the Flat Five. Katy then across the 370 bridge (because all runs are more epic when they involve a river crossing), a loop around the Earth City levee path and back.

Despite having 14 hours, I'm sure this week was well under a hundred miles as both yesterday and today were pretty slow runs. Last of the big weeks before Leadville. That's seven weeks in the 90-110 range with a decent base coming in. Certainly would have benefitted from a few longer weeks in the spring, but it should be enough.

LPT on Greenrock. Timed walking a two-mile section in the Reservation (the slowest part of a generally slow trail): 39 minutes. So, assuming I can do the Hope Pass section in under 8 hours, it looks like, for the remaining 80 miles, I can probably afford to walk about a mile for every five I run and stay on pace.
