For my sub-6:00-am workout, I strapped on my Vibram Five Fingers and headed over to Big Cottonwood Park where I completed a lap around the softball complex before heading back. The total distance of this morning run was 1.4 miles at an easy pace.

Following work, I hit the treadmill for a speed workout by running 4 miles of half-mile intervals (i.e., the slow halves at 8.8 miles per hour and the fast halves at 10.8) in a time of 24:39. I followed this interval workout with a 0.2-mile cool-down run at marathon pace. Before calling it a day on my running workout, I went out for an evening 1.6-mile jog run around the neighborhood.

In regards to my non-running workout, I completed 300 sit-ups, 30 push-ups, 100 (16 lbs) curls, and 20 (50 lbs) reverse curls.

Did you do those pushups and situps non-stop?

Oh my gosh, I would have keeled over and died after that treadmill workout!!! WOWZA!

Burt, the push-ups were all in one set; however, it took me three sets to complete the sit-ups. As far as the push-ups go, I'm currently just completing 30 per day, but I hope to get back on track with the infamous Push-up Challenge after my upcoming race.

Kelli, I'm just trying to increase my interval workouts before Philadelphia with the objective of not over doing it. As you know, it's a fine line. I'm planning on completing three more interval workouts over the next week and a half then tapering for a week. We'll see how it works out.

Run on!
