Early this Sunday morning (the official full day of the NFL), I jogged over to Big Cottonwood Park and met up with one of my buddies from the Salt Lake Running Company group for a run. We ran up to Olympus High School then headed south to Holladay Boulevard and continued to 6200 South before returning to the park by way of Van Winkle and 1300 South. I jogged 3 laps around the park’s softball complex before heading home. In total, I got in 12.1 miles at a relatively easy pace; that is, 8:28 minutes per mile. Actually this is my fastest and longest sustained run since I hurt my hamstring, thus good progress! Right now, I aim for a sub-8:00 pace for my half-marathon trail race next Saturday.
While watching my Broncos lose a close fought contest to the Jaguars, I completed my standard of 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. |
