After a few weeks on the East Coast, it felt great to be back running with the Salt Lake Running Company group. After running 2.1 miles at an easy pace through the frigid morning air to meet up with the group, we proceed to run a run an eight-mile course that actually turned out to be 8.5 miles. Running along with the faster members of the group, we ran basically a loop-and-a-half which involved running up 1700 East, over to 2100 South, up to 2100 East, then over to 3900 South. We completed this run at a 6:51 pace with the following splits: 8:06, 7:02, 7:07, 6:51, 6:37, 6:51, 6:28, 5:56, and 3:18. Following this great workout and spending a half-an-hour warming my hands in the store (i.e., I wore gloves, but the wind-chill just cut right through them), I jogged 2.1 miles back to home.
My non-running workout consisted of 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. |
