Not much happening in town, but rain has started falling at a bit of a better clip.
Someone local took shots for 25 minutes, one shot every 30 seconds, for a nice 50 second video of clouds. Very relaxing. I think it needs a soundtrack 
I figured I would do one of my own. I used Motion Pics on my iPhone (added sound later).
⇒ Athletic Conditioning was unbelievably tough today. I don’t have enough energy to say more than that. Go Redwings.
⇒ Did a fast 4 miles at 7:30 pace. It was hot out!!! I’m still shocked I could do the 10 miler at 7 min pace…race vs workout always drastic with me.

⇒ Video – From the 5k in Boulder. I first show up on far side of track around 20:06 in a white shirt chasing a shorter woman. Then I roll through finish line around 21:05. White shirt, yellow hat. Good time for me at 5400 feet. http://vimeo.com/23296934
⇒ This is the worst spring for allergies in my entire life. I’ve been marginally functional for past five days. Feels like ragweed in the fall. I think plants are trying to kill me like in that M. Night Shyamalan movie..that no one saw 
⇒ I’m debating if I survived athletic conditioning class today.
⇒ 20 years later. Stability is a good thing. And so is Star Trek http://www.flickr.com/photos/ramanpfaff/5694223008
⇒ Ended up feeling decent, but the heat/humidity was rough. This was one of those times where running in to the breeze felt nice. 11.2 miles at 8:29 pace, with a Bodo’s break at the 10 mile mark
⇒ Off I go to run up and down Observatory Hill on my standard 8 mile course. Then I’ll see if I have a few extra miles in the tank. Prediction…9:10 pace. Not feeling it today.
⇒ I can’t believe how bad allergies are this year. My throat feels like it had been abraded with sandpaper all day. At least I hope this is allergies.
⇒ Welcome home, Doctor. Don’t forget to drop by the Omni for bacon & grits this morning.
⇒ Four painful miles at 8:48 pace. Now guess I should deal with that really old milk in my fridge.
⇒ Back in CVille. Gorgeous 62 degrees. Out for a short run, then shop, and then pass out due to time zone confusion/getting up at 4am this morning. And watch Redwings. That’s a lot if stuff.
⇒ Photo – Denver International Airport at start of the day.
⇒ Started day with 4 mile jog through mountain trails with Mojito (the dog, not the drink). Now sipping a latte on the patio of local coffee shop. Vacation
⇒ Photo – I’m bored by the silly toy. What else do you have for me?
⇒ A few snow flurries falling from the sky. Nice!
⇒ Did Earth Day 5k in 21:04 up here at 5,400 feet in the sky. That was my best 5k time in many moons. Had a 20 minute run going strong for the first two miles, but then my lungs began wondering where that lovely 500 foot oxygen was. After the race I couldn’t stop coughing for about 15 minutes. Ugh. Wound up running about 10 miles today for warm up and post-race. The other 7 miles were at about a 10:45 pace
⇒ Photo – Dog on Foot.

⇒ I’m feeling totally out of shape. No running in past week, no Thursday athletic conditioning with the instructor that enjoys punishing humans, and lattes that are much bigger than those in C-Ville. I’ll jog 3 miles Sunday morning to a 5k race, do the race, then jog back. Those 10ish miles will feel good.
⇒ Photo – Dinner & beer on patio.
⇒ 10 am and I already feel like the sun is trying to burn me. Hope sunblock does it’s thing.
⇒ Photo – Why have we stopped you slow human. Spent afternoon out hiking local trails. Shot was taken with HDR Fusion iPhone app.
⇒ Did you get in the NYC Marathon?
⇒ Signed up for this. We’ll see how running at 5,800 feet goes. I think I’ll run kinda slow Wasn’t Earth Day two weeks ago?
⇒ Photo – Coffee shop…one block ahead. 7:30am here, 9:30am in east. Body on east coast time. Wants some caffeine. Gorgeous 34 degree walk.
⇒ Snowing in Boulder. Nice.
⇒ Denver International Airport. Balmy 45 degrees. Me in shorts
⇒ I really feel like flying out of town without bringing anything other than running clothes, my iPad/iPhone, and a credit card. Make life simple. Maybe skip iPad. When will transporters be ready?
⇒ Made it through athletic conditioning. Came home and cranked the AC on. It’s turkey roasting temperature today. Off to Boulder at 5am. I better set my alarm.
⇒ Gearing up for run. 10 miles? More? Less? Include O Hill or not? Will making such decisions be harder than the run itself?
⇒ Photo – Sitting in La Taza on day off.
Fun playing with iPhone apps. Is 13 considered unlucky in the train world?
