Great job by Angie and Fina. Angie good work in the 15K. Must have been the new shoes. Fina awesome run this past weekend. I must note she finished first in her age division also.
I want to thank the coaches of CFE for taking the initiative and time to implement the endurance class. When we did the warm up run I was always the last one from the run and dreaded WOD’s with running. Now I actually look forward to it.
Cross Fit Endurance at Springfield gets an A+ from me in increasing awareness in my running form and performance in the daily WOD’s.
Even though I did set my PR this past weekend it wouldn’t be possible without CFE and support from my Endurance peeps. You should get as much credit for this as myself.
Next goal: 10K here I come.

Might shoot for the 8k at the Downtown Doggy Dash in April.
Maybe 10K later in spring or summer.

Congrats to all my runners this past weekend at My ShamRox! I am so sorry I was not there to support you guys, I came down with the flu the night before the race.
I am super proud to hear about all the success people are having with their running lately, PR’s in times, distances and most importantly having more fun with running. If you missed My ShamRox this past weekend, check out our Upcoming Events tab for info on more local races to test your CFE skills out on and represent CFS. Coming up next is the Pitter Pat on March 31st.
Hope you guys had a good workout with Chad tonight. I am in Utah hangin with the fam in the cold and snow. I will be back for mile repeats on Thursday though 🙂

My legs were beat on Monday, so I didn’t make it to group that night, but I did do my short intervals last night (Wed.) in lieu of tearing up my hands doing pull-ups in the WOD, because I had a feeling we were going to see them in 12.5 (and I was right!)
I did 5 x 400m on the treadmill (stupid rain!!) with 1:00 rest
1:43, 1:42, 1:41, 1:40, 1:42
This morning I ran my long run for the 1/2 marathon training that Karen H. has peer pressured me into:
5 miles at 85% of my 5K TT pace. Proud to say I was right on the money for the overall pace.
