Boulder Training #1

I'm in Boulder this week for a bunch of meetings and am due training runs of Tuesday = 5 miles, Wednesday = 10 miles, Thursday = 5. Up at 4:30 AM today to get this one in before having to meet my ride in the lobby at 6:45. I always get crap for being gadget man but today requires a load of gear: Garmin watch + HRM, Ipod Shuffle, long sleeve dri-fit shirt, windbreaker, reflective vest, nike tights (looks dead sexy and works great), dri-fit socks (the green Go-Zilla ones with the yellow monsters on them), race shoes (I have 2 pairs of the GX220...the red ones are for races), water bottle belt (water, phone and room key), knit cap and gloves.

The lady at the desk offered that I should head down to the Longmont Rec Center as they have lots of trails. Good plan except that it was pre-dawn and there were no lights so I stuck to the roads. I felt good all the way through and took off my gloves for the last 2 miles as the sweat was really building up.
