Monday
I made it to Santa Fe last night my the skin of my teeth. I thought the descent and landing in Dallas was rough but it paled in comparison to the flight from Dallas to Santa Fe. I feared for my life. I am impressed by the structural integrity of airplanes.This morning my boss and colleague on my trip called with horrible news from home. Her son in law was found dead this morning. After initial panic on my part, I got her squared away and headed home.
This week begins a week of altitude training. "Santa Fe's high altitude (7,000 feet above sea level) means air is rarefied, thinner. It usually takes about 48 hours to adjust and staying hydrated helps. Watch your alcohol intake. One drink is the equivalent of three at sea level." Everything I read says stay hydrated. I think I am playing catch up.
Morning run. D-flex, 5 miles easy with strides. Stretch.
This evening I began the TV commercial workout. Tonight was squats, push ups and abs. I made it through 3 circuits.
Tuesday
I went to bed early and woke up early, 4:00 a.m. I did feel a little better.
Morning run. Pre-run yoga, 5 miles easy with strides. Yoga.

Wednesday
I consumed a little too much alcohol last night (2 Margaritas and 2 Coronas), but it was over 5 hour period. The bad part was I didn't sleep well. I went to bed around 11 and was awake by 2, napped until around 8. I don't think I slept more than an hour at a time. I did not run this morning.
I cut the afternoon classes and went on a running tour of Santa Fe.
Afternoon run. Pre-run yoga. 5 miles easy. Lateral leg lift 25 and yoga.

Thursday
I bailed on the TAC Annual Meeting dance pact last night and opted instead for my bed. I was so tired.
Noon walking and run tour of Santa Fe. My run was only around 3 miles, but but total mileage for the was 12.68. A lot of the walking was pretty steep. We walked up to Fort Marcy Park, what an awesome view.
