Runnin Bubbas

AM: Crossfit workout.  About 45 minutes of cross training.  I have never done crossfit before.  Went with a few buddies to their gym they go to as a guest.  I have not been inside a gym in months.  My goal this year is to do no TM runs and do all my weight/core training from home/hotel.  I am going to do my best to do this.  I loath the TM.  Boring as crap to run on a TM. 

We did a very long wu.  rowing, and bar bending stuff, air squats, burpees, all kinds of crap. 

Then, I did a 3x 15,10, 5 of kettle bell, wall balls, and hands to toes in 6 mins.  Good aerobic wo. 

Afterwards I went with a few friends to Faustina downtown SLC for brunch.  Great place for brunch.  Highly reccomend this place.  Everyone should go...

AM:  So stiff this morning from that stupid crossfit wo.  I knew I was not going to be liking the after effects of that wo yesterday.  I think the crew all just did their own thing this morning.  I got out in time for it not to rain on me.  I felt really good suprisingly.  I gained some fitness this past week which is exactly what I needed.  Easy solo effort 7:17AP

PM:  5 easy miles with Ben M. Had some tasy tacos right before. Love a good taco :) 

Lunch:  Got to bed around 1 and was pretty exhausted.  Decided to run during lunch.  out and back on Murdock from my office.  Gorgeous day to run.  Felt good after mile 3.  7:30AP

PM: workout after work today. Did the chevron hill loop. A little over 350 feet of climb in one mile. Did that 3rd mile in 8:41. My best is 8 flat. Gotta always to go but the fitness is coming along well. I did the next 4 miles at MPE around 6:48AP but into a strong head wind. Winds were really strong again. I felt very comfortable as I picked up the pace. Good effort. Probably try to do another workout tomorrow to just simulate some more MP. Going to be ultra conservative in getting the speed back. Legs are a little tired but feeling good. 7:40AP

AM: 2up/2down 2 MP miles @6:25AP. Felt effortless. I was tired this morning but enjoyed the pickup. Windy again. 7:30AP

Never take for granted your freedom. One of the craziest days I've experienced in a long time. One hour in Cabo and then back on a plane to SLC. Seriously pissed. Nothing I can do. Pretty crazy. 

PM: 6.53 miles easy tonight. Same reverse draper loop again. Just kept it easy and comfortable. My legs feel really good. 7:40AP

AM:  Easy turtle speed miles with Ben M.  Nice and windy around Draper 5K loop.  8:20AP

AM:  reed's house. Mike, Reed, Chris and Toni. Everyone did different distance and different tempo. First 6 miles were easy miles and then I did 6 miles at MPE 6:42AP. Another 6 easy miles. Just sticking to the plan. Being really conservative for another few weeks and hopefully I'll be able to have a decent base underneath me to do some better wo's. Thoroughly enjoyed the conversation and run today. Good dudes. Saw Carina and two of her running mates. Gorgeous temps again this morning. Absolutely great weather. 7:28 AP
