After some showers during the day, it was a perfect evening for running.  Consequently, after work I headed home and went on a steady run up Murray Holladay Road.  I turned back around at Sharon’s Cafe (i.e., just above Olympus Junior High School) and had a nice view of the Murray/South Salt Lake part of the Valley at night.  Another thing I love about running is seeing the lights of the city on a late evening run. Total distance of the run was 7.2 miles at an easy pace.

In regards to my non-running workout, I did get in 510 sit-ups, an 80-second plank on elbows and toes, 24 side planks (elbow-floor touches), 20 bridges (held each for approximately 10 seconds), 30 metronomes, 130 (40, 30, 16 lbs) curls, and 60 (60, 50 lbs) reverse curls.

Wow. Busy day.

Nice work. As a Holladay resident I can appreciate your respect for the views.

Junior, I'm a big fan of running through the Holladay area of town and it's by far my most favorite part of the Salt Lake Marathon course. As a result, if you ever see a tall (i.e., 6-7), skinny guy running through your neighborhood, it’s probably me.
