It has been a week since Kobe Bryant, his daughter, and 7 others lost their lives in a helicopter crash outside L.A. I just felt like doing some type of workout this morning in tribute to all those that lost their lives in the crash. The reps are schemed intentionally for them. The numbers 24 and 8 are for Kobe Bryant's jersey numbers during his NBA career. The 9 is for the nine people that lost their lives in the crash, and 81 is for the career high points that Kobe scored in a game against the Toronto Raptors. I know that people die everyday, and that everyone's lives are important, I just wanted to do this workout today, because before I started running, basketball was my favorite sport. #MambaMentality

AM- 2 mile warmup, then right into the "Double Crossfit Workout"

50-40-30-20-10

Double Unders

Weighted Dumbell Situps

3 Minute Rest

20 rounds of:

1 minute assault bike

Overall I felt really good during most of this workout. I have improved on the double unders and weighted situps by about 30 seconds, and my wattage power on the bike keeps getting stronger, so that is good. Stomach felt a bit full from going to breakfast for my nephews birthday, but other than that, everything was solid.

PM- Same 5k route as last night from the hotel. I am just going to treat tomorrow's half marathon as an LSD long run and probably pace my friend Stephanie, who hopes to run the best she can, even though she has had problems with her achilles lately. We had a pretty busy day today driving up to Sedona and doing a few hikes. Coming down here brings back memories of driving hundreds of miles to run NXR with Eugene and my other cross country pals! Good times!

AM- Today I ran the Mesa/Phoenix Half Marathon, basically as a long run. I originally was planning on running the marathon, because I wanted to make a qualifying time for NYC Marathon, which is 2:53 or under. I never really like to cheat myself out on whatever my current fitness is, because in running it cannot be "faked". My training so far has not been up to par of what I would like, and I am not in 2:50 shape as of right now, however, this doesn't mean that I can't get into sub 2:50 shape later in the year. From the start of the race, I knew that I wasn't going to race the half, so I decided to run with the 1:40 pacer for this race. I could have went faster, but I am not sure how much faster. Overall, I really enjoyed the trip down to Phoenix and especially the weather! Boston is approaching soon!
