I arrived at work early this morning and headed out for my typical run from the International Center along the airport bike path. For the first time in a while it was not raining this morning, so no windbreaker! Also, for this run I met up with Dave, my stair climbing friend who is training for the TOU (his first marathon). I extended the route a little bit by running all the way to 2200 West on North Temple in order to test out my leg by getting in a fast fourth mile; therefore, I ended up running and even 8.0 miles while Dave ran the typical 7.6 mile course (by the way, nearly 30 seconds per mile faster that he ran it three weeks ago). It took us 59:28 to complete this run and my splits were as follows: 7:11, 7:25, 7:33, 5:55,7:38, 8:10, 8:02, and 7:31 (average pace: 7:25). The 5:55 mile felt great (not too winded) and my right knee was not too sore afterwards.
In regards to my non-running workout, I was able to complete 300 sit-ups and 60 (50 lbs) curls.
