I arrived at work early in order to go on my typical 7.6-mile-airport-bike-path run from the International Center to North Temple and 2400 West and back. My running buddy Dave was in the final stages of recovering from the Star Valley Half Marathon (his first half that he ran in an impressive 1:38). However, he was still able to fight through the soreness and get in a good 4 miles with me. My pace for this run was 7:04 (total time: 53:41) with a mile at marathon pace.

I acquired a good headache from doing too much work at my computer, thus I went for another run after work on the treadmill. For this second run, I was able to get in an even 3.0 miles at a relatively easy pace

My daily non-running workout consisted of 300 sit-ups and 100 (16 lbs) curls.

Five-Minute Plank Challenge: 30 second plank and side planks

Trying-To-Go-Out-Of-My-Way-To-Eat-Healthy Challenge: oatmeal for breakfast

Night Sleep Time: 5.83	Nap Time: 0.33	Total Sleep Time: 6.17

Congradulations to your buddy for his 1:38 first half marathon! It took me two to get there :-)

Thanks Preston and I'll pass your congrats on! You two are probably pretty comparable in speed, age, both push it extremely hard, and you both keep me going. Dave is running his first marathon in September, so we'll see how he does. Thanks again!
