Truthfully, my runs as of late have been unremarkable at best and lacking (in pace and distance) at worst. Right around Christmas is a difficult time for me to get out there. So, as it is, my head is spinning a bit while planning my future runs.
I've developed a loose plan for my 30th birthday run! This isn't yet written in stone, but as soon as it is, you know you'll hear from me.
Date: Tuesday February 9th, 2016
Time: Beginning at 11 am
Location: Top of Greenland Open Space (exit 167 off I-25)
Route: Front Range Trail all the way south to Uintah, then jumping in with the Jack Quinn's club run to finish at Jack Quinn's.
Total distance: 30 - 31 miles
Total time: 6 - 7 hours
Yeah, that's about it. My plan is pretty simple; begin at Greenland Open Space and follow the trail all the way south, peeling off at Uintah with the Jack Quinn's group and finishing at the bar. This will allow anyone who wants to jog a part of it with me to jump on in at any trailhead along the trail! Or, for anyone to meet up with me at Jack Quinn's after the run! (Please note I don't consume alcohol at all, but I might indulge in a Coca-Cola and some food!) I recently ran 20 miles on the trail northbound at a 12 minute per mile pace, which would put me at 6 hours assuming I could maintain the pace. The southbound direction *is* downhill, so it'll be *slightly* easier, so I figure to be arriving at Jack Quinn's at any time between 5 and 6 pm. This is all assuming the weather is good, which is a big assumption for early February.
Runners who can't run at the moment must plan runs.
