AM - Tempo run down the last 13 miles of the marathon course. Started in the rain and that soon ended after a couple miles. I was still a little leg sore from last weekends race. I took it easy, especially down the big drop from diamond vly. After that I was comfortable enough to pick it up. The first 8 miles was tempo (7:08 ave) and the last 5 was recovery. Splits: 7:43, 7:07, 7:02, 6:59, 7:12, 7:11, 6:52, 6:54, 7:36, 7:29, 7:39, 7:37, 7:33 ( over-all pace 7:18)

PM - CrossFit/Spin/Yoga

 30 wall balls, (20lbs)
12 deadlifts (225lbs)

35 sec Row Sprints x 5. All out efforts on sprints. Rest as needed between efforts

Not sure if that was all out effort, but I pulled hard on the rows... 20 sec rest in between and had a total distance of 950 meters. The Deadlifts were a challenge after throwing a medicine ball ten feet above my head, but I did manage to finish the prescribed weight.

Hit spin class for an easy 30 min ride... Felt good to work the legs. And then hit yoga class for some needed stretching.

I love the rain too... My friends tried to cancel the run today, but I insisted!! I out ran them today for the first time this summer. :)

I hope I'm ready. We have been training for a 3 hr race. But, I think I may be closer to a 3:10 finish while my friends will hit the 3 hr finish. Are you planning to run StG marathon this year?

We will be there. Not sure I will PR (ok, pretty sure I will NOT), but I am shooting for a 3:10 to 3:15, anything better will be a bonus. It cracks me up to even write that, who ever thought I would try for that kind of time??? NOT ME!!!

Way to outrun them all! That had to feel good. I bet you love all of the training you get in on the course!
