Running With LeMire

Ran 3.25 miles before CrossFit class then did the warmup and started the workout.

The WOD was a little rough this morning. It did not seem that it would be that hard but I just had nothing in the tank.

Block 1: 9 Thrusters, 27 Single Jump ropes (2 rounds in 3 minutes, finish early rest)

Block 2: 11 Thrusters, 33 Single Jump ropes (2 rounds in 3 minutes)

Block 3: 13 Thrusters, 39 Single Jump ropes (2 rounds in 3 minutes) finished at 36 jump ropes.

The WOD continued if you finished every Block otherwise you were done when you did not complete a Block. My shoulders were failing me today and I just could not do the thrusters so I went out and rananother 1.75 miles to make my run an even 5 miles. Now I am tired but I got a good workout in.

Set the alarm on a Sunday & got out the door for 6 miles with the temp of 48 degrees. Went out with a tee shirt, light long sleeve, and wind breaker. Took the jacket off about a mile in & by 2 I was rolling my sleeves up. Thought I would have cold but it was actually a beautiful morning. Averaged 7:38/mile on a hilly course. Felt good!!

Ran an easy 4 miles this morning before work. Average pace was 7:48/mi. Legs were a little stiff but loosened up as I got further into the run.

Alarm went off this morning & I actully hit snooze then turn it off. Thought I'll sleep another hour. Well I laid there and didn't fall back to sleep so I rolled out of bed. Stepped out the door to a nice morning & awesome view of the eclipse. So I set off to run 4 easy miles and my body felt good so I just ran. My breathing was on and everything so it ended up being 4 miles at a 7:18/mi average. Not to shabby for the amount of running I have been putting in. a couple more weekend runs & I should be ready to join the running group for a few longer Saturday runs over 10 miles .  

Jamie decided she wanted to go to a lunch hour CrossFit Wod so I went along for the ride. It was definitely different. Workout went like this. 1 mile run, then 5 rounds off : 10 plank rows (35lb dumb bells), 10 push ups, 40 mountain climbers, 100 meter swim. My arms were fried by time it was over. It definitely was something I have never done before.

CrossFit class this morning was pretty tough.

200 total reps completed.

10- 95 lbs Cleans 

10- 20 lb wall balls

10- hanging knees to elbows

7 rounds of the first 2 items & didn't get to finish the last 10 knees to elbows before the 20 minute time expired. Very hard workout & my hands are tore up!!

Woke up to get a run in before Jamie had to got to work & the boys are up for the day. Legs continued to feel good and with the temps in the high 50's I got my 6 miles in at 7:22/mile average. Pretty happy with where my running is at right now. November starts the winter training session with Runners Edge so I will be upping my mileage in Movember with some long Saturday runs. My wife is trying to get her scheduled modified to allow me to start running speed workouts on Tursdays with guys also. It's sure looking like this round of marathon training will be exceptional!!! Sub 3 April 20th in Boston!!

Couldn't get my butt out of bed this morning so I squeezed 2 miles in on the treadmill as the boys played and dinner cooked this evening. Then the neighbors came over to play and we brought out the Original Nintendo with the power pad to play Track & Field. What a blast and workout!

6 mile run this morning before work & felt great. It was a little brisk at 48 degrees with a slight breeze but felt good. Overall pace was 7:18 per mile. I'm not sure how I'm running this fast already but I'm not pushing it really hard either. These runs have just been running based on how Im feeling. 

Easy 4 mile run this morning at 7:34/mi average.  Justifying to get a few easier miles in before work.

6 easy miles this morning. Legs were a little stiff from not running since Friday. Did really get any other workouts in either this weekend. Average mile pace was some where in the high 7:40's not even sure since I don't have my watch as I write this. It was definitely a beautiful morning though.

CrossFit workout

6 miles this morning at 7:32/mi pace. Legs were a little tired from yesterdays CrossFit workout but some reason they always loosen up and I run pretty good the days after those workouts.

Ran over my lunch hour around Lake Olathe from the office which is a very hilly course and felt pretty good. I was pretty surprised when I got back looked at my watch and I had a 7:18/mi average pace. This course has some super steep hills and lots of turns so to be able to keep that pace up is pretty awsome.

3 easy miles on the treadmil after work and finished the last mile up with 4 10mph sprints.

Went to CrossFit class and ran a 3 mile time trial in 18:48. Not as fast as last time but there were a few obstacles to overcome such as a super dark portion of the route that I did not dare run close to the side of the road because I could not see anything. The course was more like 3.15 miles.

Easy 6 mile run before work. Ran a little bit slower than last week but still ran 7:42/mi average.

It was super windy today so I decided to just head over to a neighbors house to hit his weights. Put in a good little CrossFit style workout together and pounded it out.
