Had to replace wall balls with air squats since I don't have my medicine balls yet. FLR's were 3 min and 1 min. My arms were so tired after the WOD that the 3 min hold was pure torture!! Ran 4 miles (8:15 pace) on the treadmill for part of my warm-up.

PM - 5.5 mile run on the IM course with Craig and John. They were still recoverying from last saturday so I got an easy run tonight. :) Went to yoga class right after run.

Tempo run with Craig and Heath... WOOF!!! I wasn't ready for this one. First, Craig said we were running a flat course and then he said he had to run in his zone 1 HR. Perfect!!! I was in!! Well, that was zone 1 for the first 3 miles and then he pushed into his zone 2 for the next 7 miles. And, the course was hills... AHHH!!! My legs muscles are still twitting. But, I stopped at the Costco for a comfort polish dog and coke. I'm good now!! :)

Splits: 8:47, 8:24, 7:48, 7:04, 7:56, 7:29, 6:48, 7:10, 7:19, 6:50, 8:06

The pace was all over the place due to the hills, but intensity was consistent. This old dogs HR zones are not the same as the young pups. I think I was closer to my zone 3.

Ran a zone 1 HR with Craig, Heath, John, and Colleen. We did 2 loops of the IM course. I never thought about it before until one of my friends from up north stated the comment that St George is not flat. Unless someone drives you to the top of a hill, we run hills and rollers all over this place!!! This explains why I dont have a consistent pace since this run was about HR zones. The two slow paces in the middle was our run from 700 So. to the top of Bluff.

Biked Utah hill and the Veyo loop with Craig, Heath, and Colleen. I was not into this ride today. Feeling a little tired and sore from this last week. But WOW!! We climbed a lot today!!!! Transition run for 4 miles (8:00) after our 62 mile hilly, windy bike ride. Had to indulge in a burger and tacos at the Crack in the Box!
