After work, I did a 0.2-mile warm-up run on the treadmill before knocking out a 5k (or 3.1 miles) at marathon pace.  In addition, after I got home I went another run.  This one entailed running over to Big Cottonwood Park then to Smith’s (i.e., to pickup some groceries) before heading back home.  The total distance of the run was 2.8 miles at an easy pace.

My non-running workout consisted of 200 sit-ups, 100 curls (40, 30, 16 lbs), and 20 (60, 20 lbs) reverse curls.

How did you carry the groceries?

From rossy on Fri, May 01, 2009 at 22:21:47 from 151.151.73.165

I just run with the groceries. Everyone thinks I'm crazy, but I usually carry something during my runs; for example, every marathon that I have competed in I have carried a 24 oz water bottle and 3 packets of GU. In addition, during my longer training runs I usually carry a water bottle, gel packets, and a stack of note cards to study. Consequently, carrying a few sacks of groceries does not bother me at all.

Hopefully the bags are not full of MILK, that would be HEAVY! I also carry a water bottle on most of my longer runs. However, I am going to come find you so I can see you studying while running. How on earth do you read the cards??

Sorry about the delayed response; that is, I was out of town for a few days. It's certainly not ideal to read/study while running (I have no idea how some people can read a book while running on the treadmill); however, the note cards distract my mind from thinking about how tired I am on those long training runs. On another note, I love the daily quotes you post on your blog!

Hope you h ad a great trip, wherever you went!

Studying and shopping while running, you are a multi-tasker!!
