35 Min Run (push) --167.5--

GRIFFITH PARK -- Haven't posted in a long time. Focus has shifted nearly entirely to CrossFit.

Since the marathon, I've truly run probably four times. One was a Mud Run, there were a couple on vacation in Mississippi and this one here.

Lots of short running work in XFit, but nothing over two miles. All that said, I kicked this run's ass. And it's my 8th day in a row working out. So there are some good arguments that I'm a better runner with doing only CrossFit.

But I want to mix one or two good distance efforts a week in. Running definitely provides an outlet that I love. And today was a great return.

Took spotify with me and crushed pretty much every portion of the course. Legs were singing a bit, but there was plenty of strength.

I'm running with something of a new body. Just finished a Paleo Challenge at Rec Center and lost 6.2 pounds of fat in six weeks. Gained 6 pounds of lean mass. Body fat went from 10.3% to 6.6. And that helps out on the course. Much easier to muscle speed. Awesome.
