Following another long work day, I got back to doing some speed play on the treadmill by completing 2-miles of half-mile intervals (i.e., the slow halves at 8.5 miles per hour, while the fast halves at 10.5). Also, I did a 0.2-mile cool-down run at marathon pace before leaving for home. After I got home, I went on an easy-pace, 4.1-mile run from Big Cottonwood Park, over to Murray-Holladay Road, up to Highland Drive, and then headed back. With the exception of the breeze, it was a nice cool evening for running with a clear sky and Wasatch Front Mountain Range covered with fresh powder from yesterday’s snowstorm.
Today was my three-peat of day eight (i.e., week 3, day 2) of the Push-up Challenge. I accomplished a total of 100 push-ups over five sets. These sets included 20, 25, 15, 15, and a max out of 25 push-ups. In addition, my non-running workout consisted of 200 sit-ups, 160 (40, 30 lbs) curls, and 20 (60, 50 lbs) reverse curls. |
