Another absolutely gorgeous Saturday! In order to prepare for the Ragnar (i.e., the 1631-net-elevation-gain-four-mile leg that I will be taking on as part of the Wasatch Back Relay) I did a nice hill workout today. From my home, I ran just over five miles uphill to Oakridge Elementary School before heading back. The total distance of the run was 10.2 miles in a time of 1:13:15 (i.e., 7:02 minute per mile pace).
Before my run, I tried day nine (i.e., week 3, day 3) of the Push-up Challenge again. This time I was able to accomplish the more than the required total (i.e., 120 push-ups) with a total of 132 push-ups, but it took me six sets. These sets consisted of 22, 26, 20, 20, 24 (max out set), and 20. Compared to the plan, I was four push-ups short on the second set and another four push-ups short on the max-out fifth set. Consequently, I will repeat week three of the Push-up Challenge. Other than push-ups, since my back was feeling a little tight I kept my non-running workout short by just completing 420 sit-ups. |
