Indoor run on the TM @ 1% incline. It was so dusty outside I didn't want to expose my lungs to that kind of air conditions. The winds in the Nevada desert turned our skys into a mess. I couldn't see the mountains today. Started the TM at 6.5 mph, and increased speed 0.1 mph every quarter mile. At mile 5 I hit 8.5 mph and then started coming back down 0.1 mph every quarter mile. Ran the last half mile at 7.5 mph. Ave pace 7:50

Pray for the victims and family who are suffering from the explosion at the Boston Marathon today.

Track work on TM @ 1% incline.
Workout: WU; 4x100 w/ increasing speed each 100 and 100 recovery; 400, 800, 1200, 1200, 800, 400 w/ 400 recovery, WD. Ran the 400's and 800's at 9.3 mph (6:25 pace) and the 1200's @ 9.2 mph (6:31 pace). The second 1200 and 800 is when this run got tough. I was border-line dry heaving! Glad to get this done. My alergies are a mess after yesterdays sand/wind storm. I can't turn off the nose fauset.

By the time I got to the last amrap I was trying not to dry heave during my double unders. I did most of my DU unbroken... I felt good about that. I still had 30 sec left on the last amarap but once I finished my 6th set I was DONE! The front squats were tough too! The sit ups and rows were a nice recovery between front squat sets.

Red mtn trail... started in dammeron valley and ended in Ivins. We had trail for the first half and then wondered for the rest. We had a hard time finding the little slot down the cliffs. It was very late when we came off the mtn. Had to have a friend guide us in with flash lights. Beautiful on top. Definitely do this again. I did roll my ankle in the dark. I'm out for at least a week! :(
