This is the start of all 7's @ 7:30 pace this week. Craig, Heath, John, and Brian ran with me this morning. We hit the Virgin River Trail for a nice flat course. This pace seems to be getting easier. Splits: 7:31, 7:23, 7:17, 7:14, 7:14, 7:25, 7:18. Last 2 miles was a false flat and mile 6 was a much needed potty break.

I did a light crossfit workout with Cathy. I worked on my power snatch. I need lots of work on that... I lost my balance a lot! I did a routine of head stand push ups, toes to bar, bar dips, and push ups.

Track (5am)
1 mile warm-up (7:38), 4x100 sprint/glides, 2x200 (37 & 38s), 3x800 (2:58, 2:58, 2:55), 1x400 (1:23), 1 mile cool down (7:11). Recovery: jog back on the 100, 200 jog on 200, and 400 (2:30) on 800's and 400. I think my pace was a little fast. We shall see if I can repeat this consistently.

This evening Craig and I did Crossfit.

Ran with John down the river trail and circled backed around bloomington. We were so exhausted and sore that it took everything to maintain a 7:30 average. I think we are track sore! Splits: 7:33, 7:21, 7:30, 7:35, 7:26, 7:25, 7:31, 7:59(last 0.6 mile) We used the extra 0.6 at the end for a cool down.

Cathy dropped me off at the duck pond on Snow Cyn Parkway. I was so tired I didn't want to run. I still have mixed feelings on whether I should have ran this morning. My watch died at mile 4.6 and I am pretty sure I ran faster than I estimated... I was wiped out when I got home. I showered, drank my recovery drink, ate a bowl of cereal, and then slept for 2 hours. My only recorded mile splits were 7:23, 7:19, 7:24, 7:20, 7:15... Maybe I'm sick. I know I still have that blasted ear infection going on... That sure messes with my equilibrium.
