4 easy on the mill to shake out the legs from yesterday and loosen them up for tomorrow.

I watched the crossfit regional games for a bit because my cousin is competing this weekend. It is odd.

13 with a great group this morning in Jeremy Ranch. Jake, Josh, Rob, John, Fritz, Collin, and I.

Big thanks to them for dragging me along.

Took the AM off. Might take the entire day off or might log a few easy tonight. Not too concerned as I don't really have a set schedule for another week or so when I start my fall marathon cycle.

I put in a decent effort over the weekend, so a rest day sounds quite nice.

PM - Ended up not running. My neck and back have been giving me some issues so I spent some time doing some stretching and yoga and got in bed early.

8 from West High Track up Memory Grove and around the Aves with Josh and Adam. It was fun to run around the neighborhood where Whit and I spent the first 4 years of our marriage before taking off to law school. 

It was hot this morning. I wish it was 25-30 degrees cooler. Oh well. It will come back in a few months.

There has been a lot of talk of Crossfit in my family lately because my cousin just competed in some regional competition in southern California. I figure THIS is worth sharing.

7.5 - 2 mile up, 4 progression tempo, 1.5 down.

I had not planned on a tempo. Was going to just toss in some strides near the end of the run. But, mile 3 ended up at 6:50 so I just went with it. 6:29 average - 6:50, 6:28, 6:27, 6:13

I might just start linking a video a day - This is why biking scares me.

6 easy on the parkway going north with Josh and Adam. Solid morning crew with a few really good laughs.

Speaking of humor, I just spoke to a client on the phone and she used the phrase "Up to my ears in alligators" to describe how busy she has been. I had never heard that before.

Tough workout to end the week. Goal was 16 miles with one or so fast at the end. Wanted to hover between 7:30-7:45 on the way out and near 7:20 on the way back but mostly off of feel. Then one mile sub-7 and perhaps a half near 6:30.

Ran the parkway North for 8 miles with Scott (avg 7:28). Scott's stomach started acting up so he backed off. First few heading back felt good (7:14, 7:12, 7:13) and then a strong headwind came out of nowhere. I upped the effort to maintain (7:18, 7:22, 7:17). Pushed hard for the last effort and came in at 6:57.

Though it was a little slower at the end, I am pleased with the effort and being able to push through.
