Did a light track workout of 200's & 400 's with Cathy, Britnee, and Joseph. Joseph, our 6 yr old, mostly raced us the first 50 yds then quit. He was pretty excited to try out those new running shoes.

Hit the gym this evening for weights(xfit style), spin class, and yoga.

Ran with Craig on the IM course. His workout called for him to run in his zone 2. It was more like a zone 3 for me. I was fine on the up hills in his zone, but the downhills he was flying. Craig must be a more efficient runner on the downhills. We were running on HR only so the effort was even but the pace was all over the place. This new IM course has a lot of rollers!

Xfit wod: 2 mile WU on the TM at 8:30 pace. 5 rounds of: 10 deadlifts, 15 push-ups, 60 single unders. I am a little sore & tired from this weeks running, and after I did xfit before the swim and I felt a little worn down so I modified my swim drills to easy, long sets of 100, 200,... 500 sets at easy pace with 1 min rest between each set, 8x75 (25 kick, 25 pull, 25 free), 200 free.

Ran about 7 mile of trail with Marc, then ran home. The paved road felt so good to run on after the brutality of trail terrain!! I wanted to run longer but my lower legs were trashed from the trail. Also, I was chafing really bad!!! Probably the worst I have ever chafed!!

Morning Bike ride with many of my friends from st george to Zion park. Our group was over 40 people. We blazed to Zion... maybe too fast. The head winds coming home just wiped me out!

This evening I did a Xfit workout: 3 rounds of 800 run and 15 power cleans. Warm up was 2 miles on the TM at 8:35 ave pace. I did the the 800's at a 7:30 pace and the power cleans at 115lbs. The last set of power cleans was tough.
