We really seemed to move fast. The box jump was my hang up. I just seemed too tired to GO! Yesterdays "fran" may have worn out my quads a little. We did knock off almost 5 min from our initial wod on january 8th. ( Initial time: 30:27  Final time: 24:34 )

Went biking for 26 miles with Cathy and Kristal. Then ran 3.3 miles easy with them. Nice recovery evening.

Ran the fence line around the treatmnet plant property (hilly & technical). I got sratched up pretty good, and drove a cactus needle through my little right toe. I found two places the fence needs to be repaired and a broken water line that was gushing lots of water. I would say my perimeter inspection run was a success.

I was not in the mood to run this race today. If I had not paid for this I would have gone to breakfast instead. Cathy dragged to the starting line. I forgot my garmin so I had no desire to try.

I ran easy from the start. I swear the entire race field passed me in the first 2 miles. My body is also very crossfit sore and every step just killed my abs and gluts. By mile 6 I actually felt like running.  That was the first hill and I started passing large groups of runners. I was so fast going uphill. I just about caught everyone that passed me earlier. I'm very happy with my run. Glad I showed up today.
