I’m glad that the Philadelphia Marathon is not one week earlier because my legs sure felt heavy today. During my run up to Olympus High School where I proceed by following the Salt Lake Marathon course down 2300 East to Holladay Boulevard and 6200 South, my feet felt like blocks of cement. However, in order to get in a couple of extra miles, on the way down 6200 South I broke it off by doing an up and back to Fort Boulevard before running down to Highland Drive and heading back home by way of Smith’s to pick up some groceries. My left foot became really sore on my return trip as I developed a few blisters on my toes. In total, I ran 13.5 miles at a slow and steady pace. In an attempt to recover, I’ll make sure to put plenty of ice on my legs and especially my left foot tonight.
It was another short and sweet day for my non-running workout in that I just completed 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. |
