AM - 10-miler (replace track)

We ran were we left off saturday to finish the sequence of the race simulation. We were only going to run this portion easy, but Cathy zipped off, and of course, we had to follow. She ran a 7:10 pace average. We started out at a 7:30 pace and then she kicked on the burners and the rest of the run was sub 7:00 pace. We only saw above 7:00 pace because we stopped to drink during mile 9 and 10.

Splits: 7:39, 7:20, 7:37, 6:54, 6:45, 6:53, 6:42, 7:00, 7:10, 7:21, & 7:01 (last 0.2 mile)

PM - CrossFit

A2. Toes to Bar AMRepsAP x 4 sets

B. 3 Rounds for time: (13:08)
Run 400m
7 Muscle-ups or sub 21 pullups/ 21 ring dips

Part A I started at a 45lb bar and added 20 pounds each round to 105lbs on the 4th set. The T2B were 23, 17, 20, 15) My hands just couldn't hold on that long. Part B I did the 21 pull-ups and 21 ring dips since I can't do a muscle up yet! I had to use a red band for the dips to save my shoulders. The 400's were tough since we ran hard this morning.

Last long run before St George Marathon. We had to get up extra early so some of us could get to work on time. We were suppose to run this 30 to 45 seconds slower than race pace. I manage to average the whole run at a 7:38. Race goal pace is 7:15. We started out easy from the top of Veyo hill, had a few fast miles, and the last 2 miles felt like the end of a marathon. Maybe the 100 squats last night and the bike ride made me a little tired for this run. I felt good, but the last 2 miles I mentally had to push myself. I always feel tired when running between Diagonal street and worthen park.

Splits: 8:07, 8:05, 7:58, 7:41, 7:40, 7:35, 7:10, 7:24, 7:28, 7:46, 7:31, 7:20, 7:19, 7:39, 7:25, 7:36, 7:42, 7:44

Last long run before St George marathon. I ran in mesa Arizona today. It was flat and hot... This felt harder than running a hilly course. The last 3 miles were tough with the heat and a false flat. I'm glad I tuffed out that last section.

Mile splits: 8:01, 7:47, 7:37, 7:37, 7:36, 7:34, 7:33, 7:43, 7:30, 7:40, 7:45, 7:57
