I told my folks I would take them down to Denver to the airport. I needed to pick them up around 7:00 AM. I tried to get up at 4:40 to get my 5 in, but my body just would not do it. So I took my gear with me, and when I stopped to visit my sister and her family right outside of Windsor, I did my 5 around their neighborhood. It seems like the miles always go a little slower when you don't know the route. It is always nice to see new sights though. The Rockies in the background as the sun was starting to go down was really quite nice to see. My pace was a bit high throughout, so I hope I don't pay for it tomorrow. It was a nice run overall.
I also was able to go to my favorite running store...the Runner's Roost. I got signed up the marathon and got fitted for a nice pair of Brooks running shoes...so a nice day overall. Thanks for reading.

Hi Sean! Glad to see you're back at it and gearing up for Colorado race. Though I won't likely be there this year, I'm looking forward to following your progress and chiming in whenever you'd like some input. The intermediate 1 program with intermediate 2 mid-longs is a great idea!! You know I'm a huge proponent of the mid-week, mid-long (I use 60% to 70% of the week's long run as a guide for my mid-long). You're going to blow 4:30 out of the water. Even if you gain NO fitness (goofy assumption), the weight loss alone will shave enough off your time to make that goal!
