After getting caught up on my sleep, I woke up and went for a Sunday morning run. With very little traffic and since it was raining and the temperature was nice and cool, it was perfect conditions for a fast recovery run. Wearing my Adidas Zero flats, I took a test run of the Salt Lake Marathon Course by covering miles 8.0-14.3. I began this workout by running up to 3300 South and 2000 East then headed through the Holladay area of town to 6200 South then down to Highland Drive. Exiting the course, I ran up Highland Drive then over to Saint Vincent’s then to 4500 South. In order to add on some extra miles, I ran up to 1500 East then north to Lorraine Drive before looping around to 1100 East and returning to home. The total distance of this run was 16.2 miles at a relatively easy pace (average pace 7:19 per mile) in a total time 1:58:30. Even though I seem to focus more on my form when wearing such minimalist shoes as my Adidas Zeros, my feet (especially my left foot) still take a pounding. Hopefully, over time my feet will get stronger.
For my non-running workout, I headed over to the Lions Recreation Center and completed 300 sit-ups (100 of with a 10lb medicine ball), 30 push-ups, 50 (20, 25 lbs) curls, and 4.5 miles on the stationary bike. |
