How frustrating, I woke up today and my right hamstring was tight and sore; that is, I might have pushed it a little too hard during yesterday’s speed workout. I was hoping to do one more interval workout before the Salt Lake Marathon; however, I’m going to scratch it and work on healing my hamstring. In short, I rather have less soreness in my hamstring than risk hurting my leg further by doing one last speed play session before the big race.
However, the soreness did not prevent me from getting out for my wakeup run up to Saint Marks Hospital then over to 1300 South and back home by way of Big Cottonwood park. The total miles of this run was 2.2 miles at an easy pace.
Following a busy day at work, I headed home and out for an evening run. For this run I completed the same 2.2 mile course that I ran 14 hours earlier at an easy pace. Consequently, it was very much a recovery day for me.
Lastly, for my non-running workout, I completed my typical 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. |
