Running With LeMire

6 miles on the College loop and it was hot and humid at 7am. A mile and a half in and I was coated in a sweat slim layer that I have not had in a long time. Overal pace was 7:43/mi pretty good for the lack on running I have been doing but I was definitely tired after it.

Easy 6 miles this morning in about 68 degrees and a lot less humidity then there has been in the last couple of months. I debated on weather only to run 4 miles or do the full 6 mile College loop then I walked outside and litterally made the descision based off the great weather that it was 6 miles no matter what. It was a good descision also since todays run was at 7:23/mi average which is 20 seconds faster than Sunday mornings run. It's a little crazy to think that I felt so much better this morning then I did on Sunday but the weather must have played a large part in that. No I need to add some speed in prep of October 6th SDSU Classi Cross Country meet. Goal is to not come in DFL and beat some young college punks!

Today is our 9th Wedding Aniversary so we did a CrossFit workout together. For our warmup we ran for a half mile, 10 power cleans and a few stretches.

3 RFT ( 3 Rounds For Time): just under 8 minutes

9 Shoulders to Over head - 45 lb bar

12 Overhead Kettle bell swings - 35 lbs

15 Squats - body weight

18 Abmat Situps

Cool down half mile run and some stretching. Overall it was a pretty darn good workout.

Ran 6 miles again this morning via the College loop at 7:13 average pace. This maybe the fastest time I have every ran this loop in. My legs felt pretty darn good considering we did a CrossFit workout yesterday. My upper body shoulder, biceps, traps and neck definitely felt yesterdays CrossFit workout more than the legs did. 

Mile splits were: 8:05, 7:06, 7:03, 7:03, 6:54, 7:05

Miles 3 and 4 have the most hills on the route so to be able to keep those down right around 7 is pretty darn good. So far almost 4 hours after my run my legs and body are still feeling good.

Ran 6 miles on the College Blvd route again this morning in cooler and less humid coditions again. Body was a little stiff from yestreday's cross fit workout. Even with that brutal workout I still managed to run the route at a 7:35/mi average. The first mile just to get warmed up and loosen up was a 8:20 mi so that really killed the average.
