Boston Marathon Training - Week #2 Day #5 - 9 Miles LSD

Cooking is another outlet for me, a little long forgotten lately.  Yesterday I decided to make Colorado Chili using a slow cooking method - aka crock pot. It cooked all night long, and today's plan of attach, 1) Run 9 miles, 2) Eat a delicious batch of Colorado Chili, 3) Watch my Denver Broncos beat the San Diego Charger.  Accomplished all three!   For today's run I wanted to map out a different routes with hills because I am bored running the same hills.  The run I mapped started at the intersection of Conifer & Conser, then to Walnut, the to Glenridge heading up to Chip Ross Park.  The hills heading up to Chip Ross are pretty step, and I had to stop a few times to get my heart rate to be in the "Easy" zone.  I really need to work on this as according to training software I spent 69% of the workout in Zone 3, not good. Chip Ross park was super muddy and slick, duh!  I should have known, but you live and learn.  Heading up some of the very steep sections I was walking, and slipped and fell uphill once! Once I made it to the top, heading down wasn't any treat either... tried to stay on my feet, braking on slick mud and grass, and tried to avoid going down at brake neck speed!  I managed to find the parking lot without incident. The last few miles were mostly downhill, and I just took it easy.  I tried to hit as many puddles of water to clean the mud off my shoes.
