Easy miles.  About 2 miles @ 3-3.5 incline.  Listened to half a of Rich Roll podcast interview with Brian MacKenzie. He is a CrossFit Endurance Coach. Pretty interesting listen.  They talked a lot about the misconceptions of his program and the benefits of it for endurance athletes of all types. I already believed in Hiit but it bolstered my belief.  I'm looking forward to listening to the 2nd half and finding out more about his program.

Before my run I did  the same fit test I did on Jan 14:

AM- Couldn't sleep last night so got to the gym a bit earlier.  Ran 1.5 miles before, spin, then 2.5 more miles.  The last 2 AM classes I've been to has a girl that sits with her arms folded or sitting up, not holding the bars, almost the entire time.  I don't get it.  Why would you wake up in time to get to a 5:45 am spin class to not break a sweat?  Weird.

Did my workout a little differently today.  1 mile warm up. 6x800 @ 7:15. Instead of jogging between for rest I did hiit exercises.  I had 8 different exercises. I tried switching from running to floor work and back as quickly as possible.  I think it worked pretty well.  For the first 4x800 I did 2 minutes hiit between. Last 2x800 I did 4 minutes between.  Finished hiit by doing the entire circuit once through, then did 1 mile @ 7:10 and 2 mile cool down.  It was different but I liked it.  I was definitely sweating!

Easy miles. I usually do evening spin but I'm gonna try to ride outside on Saturday so switched it up a little.  Did 18 minute leg circuit and 7 min plank circuit after running.  Sweet sweat!

Out and back from home.  Couldn't really get in a rhythm today.  Everything felt weird.  My front hip area was hurting so my stride was off cuz I was overcompensating.  Don't think it's anything to worry about, but should probably get some good stretching in.  Lots of up hill today.  Made my way to Little Cottonwood Canyon and went about a mile up before turning around.  Today wore me out and I kept scraping my ankles with my shoes which caused some cursing along the way.  Glad that run is over and I can get on my bike in the sunshine tomorrow.  It better be sunny!

Started a 7 day plank challenge today.  My whole body is sore from this week.

Emigration from Sugar House. Started just before noon. SUNSHINE!! It was so nice out and I felt pretty strong. Last year at this time I could barely make it up Emigration. This year I powered up. Feels good. Finished with lunch in the sun at Caputo's and visit with my two fav people. Such a good afternoon. 
PM- Tabata workout with my plank challenge included. Sweat!
