Misc.
Naturally, the just-past holiday season meant exploring a few new (to me) Colorado microbrew gems. Below is a pic of my fave recent discovery, an IPA from Tommyknocker made with black rice and called Hop Strike. I haven't been a big fan of TK's beer, but this one was damn good. I think it previously had only been offered on draft and in growlers.

Following the last snow, a large bit of the Evergreen elk herd came down from higher elevations to graze in the open areas around Elk Meadow Open Space, other local parks and, of course, local neighborhoods. This large herd (probably about 60 animals) was in our yard just before the end of the year.
Today, the herd was grazing in the open areas of Bergen Park. Lots of chirping and a few bugles as I strolled up to take a few snapshots (cue thoughts of camera-touting, know-nothing runner getting mauled by an elk).

Kicking Off 2011
Another catch-up post to keep the log up-to-date. Here's the run-down on the first six days o' 2011.
Saturday, January 1 - 6 miles in 55 minutes. Easy run on the roads of the Hiwan and The Ridge subdivisions with DW. Good to kick off the new year with a chilly run with a good friend.
Sunday, January 2 - 12.23 miles in 2:07. Breckenridge. Had to cruise up early to Frisco to pick up my son who stayed overnight with some friends at a condo there. I had planned on running the bike paths around Frisco, but they weren't plowed. Should have guessed...I guess.
Drove over to Breckenridge and parked at the east end of downtown and started running. I cruised up through the completely empty downtown (it was about 6:30 a.m. and -12 degrees!). Ended up running up through a couple neighborhoods of condos and mountain houses up towards the ski area. I soon left the dense development behind and ran up Spruce Creek Road. This relatively lightly-travelled road eventually dead-ended at a big snow pile at the Spruce Creek Trailhead on national forest land.
This trailhead accesses Francie's Cabin, one of the Summit Huts Association huts, some great lakes and several 13'ers. I ran up a well-packed xc ski trail for about 1.5 miles to the intersection with the Wheeler Trail. I paused for a bit here to take in the amazing views around me (listening all the while to the distant BOOMS from ski area avalanche control work).
I then turned around and ran back to the car. Cold morning! The hot tub and pool and the Breck rec center that followed was much welcomed!
Monday, January 3 - 8 miles. Treadmill. A busy day meant an evening run on the treadmill at the Buchanan Rec Center. Did two miles at 8:00; 3 miles at 7:00 and three more at 8:00. Easy.
Wednesday, January 4 - 6.06 miles 1:22. Green Mountain, Boulder. First jaunt of the new year up Boulder's Green Mountain. Ran from the Gregory Parking lot. Noted that a car with Alaska plates was getting a ticket just as I was heading up Gregory Canyon. Temps were perfect. Ran in shorts and a heavy tech shirt. No traction needed on the ups. Ran easy up the backside. Summited in about 44 minutes. Used traction on the descent. Had to take a detour near the intersection with Greenman due to some tree removal work being done by some OSMP workers.
Thursday, January 5 - Had my second PT appointment with Richey Hansen at High Altitude Spine and Sport. More work today on my right hip/adductor/lower ab and left calf/foot. I'm making very good progress. The Active Release Therapy and Graston work he's doing is showing very solid results with me. The raging pain in my left heel is nearly gone...just post-run achiness that goes away overnight - and even that seems to be easing. Lower ab tear/strain/whatever also seems to be getting better. Still too fragile for core work, but I regularly have runs now where I don't think about it. Cautiously optimistic on that. I highly recommend Richey...very knowledgeable, listens first, knows his sh** and explains everything.
Had plans for another Green Mountain jog, but took PT's advice to give the foot/ab a rest post-treatment. Wasn't an easy decision...

Closing Out 2010
I've been negligent of late in keeping the blog up-to-date. Since this is a training log for me, I am doing a quick dump on the last week or so of running in 2010.
Thursday, December 23rd - 9 miles in 1:24. Alderfer-Three Sisters. Starting at the Dedisse Trailhead on Upper Bear Creek Road, I ran the outside loop of A-TS. This route has about 1,300 feet of elevation gain, great scenery and a nice mix of steep, rocky ascents and buttery-smooth, fast singletrack.
Friday, December 24th - 7.28 miles in 1:05. Meadow View Loop - Plus in Elk Meadow Open Space. Easy cruiser.
Saturday, December 25th - 6.54 miles in 54 minutes. Easy holiday cruise around the basic Meadow View Loop in Elk Meadow Open Space.
Monday, December 27th - 8.62 miles in 1:24. Bergen Peak Upper Loop in Elk Meadow Open Space. 1,700 feet of elevation gain. Felt redeemed after this run as my last time up this route left me spent. Fitness is coming back, slowly. Started from the house and run up to upper parking lot via neighborhood access trail.
Tuesday, December 28th - 7.68 miles in 1:15. Evergreen Mountain and Alderfer-Three Sisters. Starting late (4:11 p.m.) from upper lot, I ran up Evergreen Mountain (took a few pics along the way) and paused at the summit to gaze at the Mt. Evans group to the west. Full-on, beautiful view of this Front Range sentinel. High-tailed it down via the Evergreen Mountain Trail East, across Douglas Park Road and into Alderfer-Three Sisters. Ran up and over the hump by the Three Sisters rock formation. Though darkness was upon me, I opted tack on a couple additional miles on the Bearberry Trail because I knew the trail was smooth (not much to trip on) and connected up to a similarly-smooth double-track. Pitch dark by the time I returned to the truck. Perfect. 1,300 feet of elevation gain.
Thursday, December 30th - 12 miles in 1:36. Upper Bear Creek Road. Met up way early with Steve F., Steve G. and Laurie to beat the expected afternoon snow. Ran 6 miles up this relatively flat road at an 8-8:30 pace. Picked it up on the return with 7 minute first mile, three at between 6:15 and 6:30 and an easy 7:30-8 minute mile as a cool-down. Ran the tempo stuff alone due to the need to stop for a bio break (what! doesn't anyone wait anymore?). This was my first attempt at any faster-paced running in a couple of months. Felt pretty good, all things considered. Lower ab was a bit tight, but OK.
Friday, December 31th - 6.05 miles in 1 hour. Meadow View Loop in Elk Meadow Open Space. Ran in fresh snow. There were a handful of footprints running from the upper lot to the junction with the Elk Ridge Trail. After that, I was following just two fresh sets of runner footprints. It twas very cold! I was wearing four layers up top, a pair of tights and a pair of running pants, gloves, a light face mask thing and a hat.

Running in the Dark
Didn't get out until after the sunset, but early enough to watch the moon rise in the east as I cruised around the Meadow View loop.
Time: 1:09
Distance: 7.14 miles
Effort: Easy
Body: Good
Weather: Cool and dark
A conspiracy of multiple origins led to me not getting out until around 6 p.m., well after the sun had set. So, with one headlamp on my head and another in my right hand, I dashed around Elk Meadow's Meadow View loop in the dark.
Running in the dark is a hit-or-miss thing for me. Sometimes I really enjoy it, others...not so much. Last night was one of the good night runs. Time seemed to stand still. All the hills seemed to have flattened. I just loved the feeling of movement as my forward progress broke the never-ending clouds of moisture emanating from my lungs in the cold night air.
First time this year I broke out the running pants.

Christmas Eve, Eve, Eve,...Run & Celebration
Took part in a long-standing Evergreen holiday celebration Sunday morning by joining a large group of runners on an outing in Elk Meadow followed by food and drink at Mimi and Gil's house.
Time: 1:45
Distance: 10.06 miles
Effort: Moderate
Body: Astoundingly poor
Weather: Sunny and cool
For the last twelve years, Andrew A. has hosted a pre-Christmas weekend morning run and party. These gatherings, famous in song and story, involve equal doses of tough decision-making (shorts or tights? Meadow View loop or Bergen Peak?), running and noshing.
By 8:30 a.m., a good-sized group had arrived at Andrew's parents place tucked away off a dirt road on the hillsides far above Bear Creek. After a round of introductions and a group picture in front of a PowerBar emblazoned company car, we were off jogging downhill towards a neighborhood access trail that leads into the dog park part of Elk Meadow Open Space.
Our group of 20 or so runners quickly separated into pace and distance groups with six of us off the front and heading up the southern flank of Bergen Peak. The six of us held together pretty well up until the second overlook on the Bergen Peak trail. As we hit the steeps here, I watched Andrew, Travis Macy and another guy disappear ahead.
For the first time in years, I was reduced to speed hiking twice on this ascent. I simply had no pep, no energy...no nothin'. Presumably, all the time off of late had something to do with it. I hit the Summit Trail intersection in about 52 minutes. I decided I'd had enough. I waited a few minutes for the two runners behind me to catch up. After letting them know I was heading down, I continued onto the Too Long Trail and jogged it back with my tail between my legs.
I felt a little bit better once I got onto the Meadow View Trail. I picked up the pace through here a bit en route back to Mimi and Gil's house.
Back at the party HQ, a full buffet of breakfast foods, treats and beverages was awaiting. After a plateful of chow and some good conversation, I was off to meet up with the family for some more weekend fun.
Many thanks for Andrew, Chris, Gil and Mimi for hosting this wonderful gathering. It was really great to connect with such a solid group of Evergreen-area runners.
Time to start training for next year.

Elk Meadow - Meadow View - Easy
Easy late afternoon lap around the Meadow View loop.
Time: 39 minutes
Distance: 4:56 miles
Effort: Easy
Body: Good
Weather: Sunny and cool
Not even going to try to make up something remotely interesting about this run. Standard loop. Nothing memorable. Just out to be out.

A Routine Jog...Finally!
Got out for a late-morning jog around the Meadow View Loop at Elk Meadow Open Space. Foot felt normal. Progress.
Time: 47 minutes
Distance: 5.07 miles
Effort: Easy
Body: Good
Weather: Sunny and cool
Ran easy around the home loop with Steve F. Pretty routine, except that I've been out of the routine so long it didn't feel routine at all. I love self-propulsion.

A Little of This...A Little of That..
A 5-mile run on the home trails, a sweet 11-mile loop in Boulder and an informative and seemingly helpful visit with a new PT.
After 18 days off, I finally got out for a run last weekend - a whopping five mile cruise around the Meadow View loop at Elk Meadow Open Space. The run was fine. Felt great just to be moving again.
I've been nursing two nagging injuries (really?...haven't you told us this 50,231 times?), my left heel and a likely muscle tear of some sort in one of my right lower abs.
Post-run, things generally felt OK. Foot ached some, but not nearly as bad as it has. Lower ab was fine.
On Monday, I went and saw another Boulder-based PT. Great guy that was recommended by Aaron K. He worked on me using a combination of Active Release Therapy and Graston Technique, neither of which I knew anything about before Monday. Now, I'll readily admit that I'm a bit of a skeptic and far from up-to-speed on the latest bodywork fads and science. Whether it's chiropractic, acupuncture or Rolfing, I'm the first to roll his eyes, yet, incongruently, willing to try anything to get back into the miles.
So, the whole ART thing I get...now that I've experienced it. Here's what the ART Web site says about the technique:

So, the whole ART thing I get...now that I've experienced it. Here's what the ART Web site says about the technique:
ART is a patented, state of the art soft tissue system/movement based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART. These conditions all have one important thing in common: they are often a result of overused muscles.
Every ART session is actually a combination of examination and treatment. The ART provider uses his or her hands to evaluate the texture, tightness and movement of muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments and nerves. Abnormal tissues are treated by combining precisely directed tension with very specific patient movements.
These treatment protocols - over 500 specific moves - are unique to ART. They allow providers to identify and correct the specific problems that are affecting each individual patient. ART is not a cookie-cutter approach.
The Graston Technique is a whole other ball of wax. This from the Graston Technique Web site:
The Graston Technique® incorporates a patented form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization that enables clinicians to effectively detect and treat scar tissue and restrictions that affect normal function.

- Separates and breaks down collagen cross-links, and splays and stretches connective tissue and muscle fibers
- Increases skin temperature
- Facilitates reflex changes in the chronic muscle holding pattern
- Alters spinal reflux activity (facilitated segment)
- Increases the rate and amount of blood flow to and from the area
- Increases cellular activity in the region, including fibroblasts and mast cells
- Increases histamine response secondary to mast cell activity
So, I'm still learning about all this stuff. And, ultimately, the true measure is whether the patient (me!) improves. For now, the short of it is that I was very impressed with this PT. He spent a good two hours listening to me, working on my problem areas and explaining the physiological rationale for everything he did. I walked out of there feeling like he'd done some good, and I had a passel of recommended exercises and home therapies to apply, including a way to tape up my foot that might help.
I took a day off, post PT visit, to let things settle in. On Wednesday, with 60-degree weather mocking me, I decided it was time to get out for some miles. I used my new Rock Tape to tape up my heel and set off in the late afternoon from the Flatiron Vista Trailhead off Highway 93. Man, was I psyched to be out running.
My foot felt surprisingly good. Solid. Like I didn't need to think about it. I ran up the Prairie View Trail, down Dowdy Draw to the Spring Brook Loop. Headed south, picked up Goshawk and ran that to Spring Brook North and returned to Flatiron Vista. 11.3 miles of trail bliss in about 1:39. (This is a really, really great and fast loop. Highly recommend it...).
No problems with the foot. Lower ab tightened up a lot. Hard to know if that was a result of the Graston work on Monday, or the result of the exertion. Time will tell. A day later, the foot still feels good...far better than it has post-run in a month. Was it the ART...the Graston...the taping...a combination of the three? Hard to know.
Still, I'm encouraged and plan to return to the PT for some follow-ups. More to come as I gain more experience with these approaches.
Definitely lamenting that I won't be up in FoCo on Saturday running the Chubby Cheeks 50K.
Lastly, I've started labeling posts like this: "injury whining." I'm not used to being on the injured-reserve list, and certainly not much used to writing about it. Please feel free to offer poignant counsel on whether posts like this are overly indulgent, boring and best left as unpublished drafts.

Congratulations and Still Laid Up
I'm still laying up, resting the plantar and lower ab. 16 days...but, who's counting? I'm going to get out tomorrow for a few miles. Been inspired by a local guy's performance back East.
Patrick Garcia ran a hell of a race in this weekend's Hellgate 100K. Even came in ahead of Mr. Pony Express, Karl Meltzer. Eager to hear all the details. Congrats, Patrick! The CO boys are making a damn good showing in the hills of Virginia. Remember this guy's performance at the MMTR?
Here's the top 10:
