I have been trying to work running back into my Crossfit work. The Black Box has a new, temporary location in Williamsburg, which is within running distance of my apartment. Seems like a perfect way to get in two ass kicking workouts.
A list of the recent workouts with rough time estimates:
5/6
Run 2 miles with 20 pound backpack and 10 pound bag
Run 3 miles in intervals with pushups, pullups, HSPUs and squats mixed in at Ft. Greene park.
5/8-
Run 3 miles ~25 mins.
"Diane" 21-15-9 of 205# deadlift and pike push up off a plyo box (<11mins)
Run 3 miles ~31 mins (really slow)
5/9
21-18-15-12-9-6-3 of 16kg KB swings, 20# slamball and squatting box jumps
Run 3 miles with pack (~15 pounds) ~28 mins
5/12
Run ~6 miles with ~12# pack ~55 mins.
I have really been feeling the running in my legs. Looks like I had taken off too much time from running. I really enjoy the push of doing the CF WOD and then having to run home already fatigued. Hoping to do more of that tonight.
Upon doing further research into Adventure Racing, I found Sleep Monsters, which looks like a decent opener into the world of adventure racing. Most of the articles are pretty old, but hopefully it will lead me in the right direction to finding a good forum or blog.

hey - great idea - this is what i need, i was doing very well and then have dropped off a bit with my training. sunday was a 1hour run, tonight it is martial arts, wed. it looks like i will be doing some track work most likely 400 repeats.
How did the run feel? Did you do it with a pack on? I am finally getting used to the feel of a light pack, so I will likely begin taking books to work again, which means I will have to carry them home from the gym. Should make the run a little more interesting.
I need to get some more sprint work in, but the first priority is to try out some hills on the weekend. Not this weekend, but next looks good.
no i a not going to attempt any sprints with a pack on, I did okay 2 miles warm up 7X400 sprints all around the 82 sec mark. started back lifting took it light.
