Tempo run with Craig and Heath... WOOF!!! I wasn't ready for this one. First, Craig said we were running a flat course and then he said he had to run in his zone 1 HR. Perfect!!! I was in!! Well, that was zone 1 for the first 3 miles and then he pushed into his zone 2 for the next 7 miles. And, the course was hills... AHHH!!! My legs muscles are still twitting. But, I stopped at the Costco for a comfort polish dog and coke. I'm good now!! :)

Splits: 8:47, 8:24, 7:48, 7:04, 7:56, 7:29, 6:48, 7:10, 7:19, 6:50, 8:06

The pace was all over the place due to the hills, but intensity was consistent. This old dogs HR zones are not the same as the young pups. I think I was closer to my zone 3.

So do you do CrossFit every day? Does it not make your legs wasted when it comes to running?

I do xfit about 4-5 times a week. I make sure that I space my main runs and crossfit at least 8-12 hours apart. Sometimes I get a little tired from one or the other. I do like to run a warm up before I do xfit. I usually run very easy in this case.
