Green

From Gregory TH, Amph, Saddle Rock, Greenman, Green; down Greenman, Northeast Ridge, Saddle Rock, Amph.

Started at 6:28 pm. After reading Scott Elliott's description of "four-step", "three-step", and "two-step" breathing, played around with this a bit on this run. Didn't do any "four-step" breathing. Did some "three-step" breathing early on, but eventually got working harder. Did a fair bit of "two-step" breathing. This actually kept me running much more of the ascent than I usually do. Pretty sure I was going "easier"/slower while running than when I'm hiking all out up some of this stuff. But interesting to see what happened when I aligned my breathing cadence and foot cadence - surprised myself to be running sections that I normally don't. When I'd switch to hiking, I found it more difficult to align the breathing. I'm sure it can work, but the slower cadence of the hike threw me off. Anyway, interesting to play with this. Of course, I think dropping 15 pounds would be much more effective in getting me up this hill faster than changing my breathing technique.

Green

From Gregory TH, Amph, Saddle Rock, Greenman, Green; down the same.

Started at 4:54 pm. Hiked most of this. Did run from Saddle Rock/Greenman to the spring, then some of the final switchbacks. Still worked pretty hard on the ascent, despite not running much. Ran the descent pretty hard, though. Well, some parts. Started out easy, but then picked it up. Took it a bit easier on the "flats." Amph pretty hard. Fun descent. Hadn't worked that hard on a descent in quite a while.

South Boulder

From South Mesa TH, Mesa, Towhee, Shadow, South Boulder; down the same.

Started at 12:38 pm. Ran all but the steep hill on the road on the approach to Shadow Canyon. That had me pretty worked. Decided to back off on the effort entering the canyon, but I couldn't have done much more even if I'd wanted to. Have definitely lost some fitness and gained some weight.

Ran into Steph E, Kari F, Fred E, and Terri P on the summit, who'd come up from the west after trail work in the morning at Walker. Chatted with them, then jogged down to the saddle with them. Coming down Shadow, I stopped frequently to clear lots of loose rocks from the trail.

Green

From Gregory TH, Amph, Saddle Rock, Greenman, Green; down Greenman, Ranger, old trail, Gregory.

Started at 4:07 pm. With Jeff V and George Z. With these guys leading the way, this was pretty much an all-out effort for me. Thought for sure I'd be under 40 given the amount of suffering involved, but clearly I've lost a bit of fitness (and gained a bit of weight) over the last four lazy weeks.
