Track
WU: 1 mile (7:34), 4x100 w/ 100 recovery (ave 20sec/100)
Core: Alternating 1-milers @ 5k and marathon pace - 1 mile @ 5k pace (5:58) w/ 400 recovery, 1 mile @ Marathon pace (6:54) w/ 400 recovery, 800 (2:56) w/ 400 recovery, 400 (1:28) w/ 400 recovery, 1 mile @ marathon pace (6:32) w/ 400 recovery, 4xstairs, and 1 mile cool down (7:40)

I was suppose to do 4x1-miler that alternated at 5k and marathon pace. When running my third mile at 5k pace I was done by the 800 mark, so I recovered, did one more 400 at 5k pace, and then finished my 4th mile at marathon pace. I'm not sure what my marathon and 5k paces really are??? That is obvious with my times being all over the place. The marathon pace laps were not that hard to do. I was surprised that I did a 6:33 for my 4th mile. I wasn't paying attention to pace, I was just running by comfort. The 5k zones were tough... that is too fast for my 5k pace.

Bike trainers in the evening with craig and heath. Spinervals dvd with 20 min extra warm up.

John and I ran the marathon course from ledges back to home. We didnt try to push hard, we just ran by feel. This pace I hope will be my marathon pace by october. Splits: 7:20, 7:07, 7:08, 7:05, 7:11, 7:22, 7:17, 7:14 the last 3 miles were in town were we had traffic, lights, and flat terrain compared to the downhill and open road at the beginning.

Swim... Warm-up: 100 IM, 200 kick drills
Core: 6x200 with a 50 kick after each 200
Cool down: 100 free

I did my kick drills and 6x200 with fins. My times on the 200 was under 2:30's. My 2nd 200 was a 2:05... that was a little fast!

This evening I did Pull-ups, push ups, T2B, K2E@ Brian's house. Used his pull up bars. Did countless reps of different types of pull ups.
