After a busy Monday at work, I hit the treadmill and was only able to run for 1.3 miles (a half of a mile at marathon pace) before catching the bus home. Consequently, after I got home I headed out for a run over to Big Cottonwood Park where I completed ten laps around the softball complex before calling it a day. It was sort of funny in that a little kid yelled at me almost every time I completed a lap, “how many times are you going to go around?” Even though I kept shouting back that I was aiming for ten laps, he kept asking the question with a tone of I-cannot-understand-why-this-tall-guy-keeps-running-around-in-a-circle-like-a-ninny. Anyways, I ran for a total distance of 5.0 miles at a relatively easy pace (i.e., 7:51 minutes per mile).
While listening to my Jazz finish up a pre-season win over the Blazers, I completed my daily non-running workout of 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. |
