I mainly stuck to the treadmill following work today and knocked out 4.8 miles with 1.4 miles at an easy pace and 3.4 miles at a marathon pace.  After I got home I slipped on my Vibram Five Fingers and headed out to Big Cottonwood Park and completed a lap around the park’s dirt path.  I completed this 1.6-mile jaunt through the park at an easy pace, but it was a great workout and tons of fun.  In short, feeling like you are running barefoot on a dirt trail is what running is all about.

In regards to my non-running workout, I was able to get in 300 sit-ups, a 100-second wall sit, and 20 (50) curls.

Five-Minute Plank Challenge:  2:00

Trying-To-Go-Out-Of-My-Way-To-Eat-Healthy Challenge:  another serving of whole-wheat pancakes

Nice job on the workout and especially those pancakes! Whole-wheat pancakes are VERY delicious, especially with a bit of almond extract in them. Makes your house smell yummy too!

Thanks RAD! Nice 6 miles of running today and those leprechauns…. Happy St. Patty's Day!
