After over ten hours of sleep, I head out just after 6:00 am for some a bridge workout in downtown Portland. Figuring I need all the bridge training I could use before the NYC Marathon, I ran down to the Steel bridge and crossed the Willamette River then ran along the waterfront and past Union Station to the Broadway Bridge where I cross the Willamette again the head past the Rose Garden and back to the Steel Bridge. I completed this 1.8-mile lap seven times (with lap times between 13-15 minutes) before heading back to the Double Tree. The total distance of this run was 14.8 miles at a relatively easy pace.
Before heading down to Bend where I’ll spend a week on vacation, I completed my daily non-running workout of 300 sit-ups.
