Feeling more rested today, I received happy news in regards to the NYC Marathon in that the New York Road Runners sent me an e-mail informing me that I was now an official member!  They are even mailing me an official membership card so I can totally be a geek.  Anyway, I headed home after work then after becoming disgusted with the Jazz-Laker game, I grabbed my iPod instead of my handheld radio and went out for a late-evening run.  For this workout, I ran over to Big Cottonwood Park and completed nine laps around the softball complex before heading back.  The total distance of this run was 4.4 miles at an easy pace.

While listening to President Obama’s State of the Union Address, I completed my non-running workout of 300 sit-ups, 30 push-ups, and a 100-second wall-sit.

5-minute Plank Challenge:  2:50 (a PR and after over a week with being sluggish at my planks, this really felt great! Over the last few months, I have almost doubled my plank time!)

Trying-To-Go-Out-Of-My-Way-To-Eat-Healthy Daily Challenge: a serving of fruit and a whole-wheat lean turkey and chicken sandwich

Thanks Allie and I'm hoping to break 3:00 for a plank in the next month! Yes, our Jazz… sigh… however, they showed some fight down the stretch and they just need to take care of the pesky Timberwolves tomorrow.
