Run 2:01:27 [3] 12.83 mi (9:28 / mi) +1622ft 8:27 / mi
shoes: Saucony Mirage
Out for 1:00:20, back in 1:01:07 for a long slow run. Quite pleased with that pacing. Was on track to be exactly even or slight negative split until the last mile when I hit cement and my legs started to protest. To the Santa Fe trail and then north. Takes 11min to get to the trail and then another 14min to get under Woodmen Rd where it turns into an awesome place to run. Objective was long flat run at 9-10min pace. Done. I know so many crazy fast people that a 13mi at 9:30 pace run feels wimpy, but my fitness is where it is... I remember when 5 miles was a really long run for me in high school.

Orienteer race 1:21:50 [3] 4.97 mi (16:28 / mi) +1273ft 13:15 / mi
shoes: 2nd pair - Saucony Guide 3
Peaceful Valley Red Course. Basically just followed footprints in the snow the whole way. I had fun playing in the snow. Two good races in a row. Both of them had easier navigation than usual. Cherry Creek was wide open. Peaceful Valley I could follow footprints and I did a decent job of following the right ones.
This might be a first. I didn't get last on any of the controls. Nearly went past the proper reentrant for 1, but caught it before it was a disaster. Confused myself on 3 and had to stop and look around to make sure I was where I hoped I was. Caught up to Goril at 9. Deviated from footprints to 10- was very confused by a set of car tracks that weren't on the map and stopped. Made my own route again on 12, not the best choice. Caught back up to Goril at 14. A few other pauses to make sure I knew where I was in case the footprints diverged so I could stay on the right track.

shoes: Saucony Mirage
Salsa Brava run. My usual running buddy wasn't there tonight, so I tried to stick with the next group which was going about 12min/mile pace. Gave up running that slow after half of it and dropped to a 10min pace and only one guy stayed with me; and by with me I mean 10m behind me... A little frustrating. I meant it to be an easy run, but that was getting ridiculous. I wish some of my faster buddies would show up to this one since it is so convenient for me. And I know some of the people that were there are faster, but they were running slow to be social.
The good news is that they comped our beer because it was taking so long and my knee didn't hurt and I have 8 quarts of peppermint ice cream in my freezer.

Run 51:06 [1] 5.5 mi (9:17 / mi) +866ft 8:05 / mi
Trinity Brew Co. There went the knee again. Really not sure what is wrong with it. It started hurting pretty suddenly when I started moving again after the stoplight with a mile to go.
