Following a busy and long day of work, I took the opportunity to catch up on my sleep today. Consequently, I went on a late morning run to wakeup by legs before catching my flight to Portland, Oregon. This run involved running up the Smith-Kiln Chimney at the Brickyard then up to Harmon’s to pick-up a few groceries before heading back home. The total distance of this run was 4.1 miles and since I’m tapering for Sunday’s race I kept it at an easy.
After arriving in Portland, I met up with my Aunt and Dad to drive down to Bend which is located in Central Oregon. On the way, we stopped for a break at the base of Mount Hood and I had an opportunity to run a trail up from the west-end of Government Camp to Glade Trail which leads to the Timberline Lodge (the outside of this lodge was used in the movie The Shining). It was nice to breath the cool and clean air of the Great Northwest while running through a picturesque pine tree forest. The up-and-back distance of this relaxing run was 1.8 miles.
I was also able to get in a short non-running workout that consisted of 200 sit-ups and 25 push-ups. |
