AM - Crossfit

AMRAP for 10:00

20 push-ups, 10 hand-stand push-ups, and 5 push jerks 65lbs

I finished 4 sets... so much upper body that I was done after the first set. I think my arms are still sore from saturdays crossfit.

PM - Swimming Drills:

WU: 100 IM, 2x100 free easy, 4x25 on 0:30 (ave19sec)
Core: 4x75 on 1:30, 100IM,  400 free on 7:10

I was so exhausted and my arms were worn-out from morning crossfit. We just did too much upper body today. Cathy and I went for chicken salads instead of yoga class... we felt much better after our meal!?

AM - Track

BLURG!!!! We argued whether to do 6X200 & 6x400 or 6X1000.... we compromised on 2X200 and 4x1000. I'm not sure if that was any better! I wanted the shorter distances! :) I was dizzy after that last 1000, but I ran a strong cool down mile at 7:19 pace.

1-mile warm-up, 2x100 sprint/glides, 2x200 (41 & 39sec) w/ 1:00 recovery, 4x1000 (3:52, 3:53, 3:59, 4:06) with 3:00 recovery, 1 mile cool down

PM - Crossfit

300 jump rope

Tempo Run - Last 14.5 miles of the St George Marathon route. The last mile was tough. I think mentally I see this last section of the course and I want to quit. We will run this last section more often.

AM -  5k time trial run.

I didn't really run a time trial, but I pushed my body as hard as possible. Last nights squats and GHD's impacted my run. I pushed hard so I still got the benefit of the TT. Started my warm-up for 0.65 miles at 7:37 pace, ran 3 miles at a 6:48 pace, and finished to worthen park with an 8:37 pace.

Crossfit: we did 7 broad jumps (quality jumps for distance) and 12 Burpees (AFAP) 3 times. That was a tough workout!!!
