I woke up this morning to snow-covered streets, but the temperature was a little bit warmer than it has been over the last couple of weeks. However, I still bundled up before jogging the 2.1-mile distance up to the Salt Lake Running Company to meet up with my Saturday-morning running group. Initially we only planned to cover four miles for this group run (i.e., the distance called for by the Salt Lake Marathon training schedule); however, we stretched our run out to 6.5 miles. For this workout, at an average pace of 7:28, we ran up to 1700 East and completed two loops up to 1900 East and between roughly 2400 South and 3300 South before heading back to the store.
Following this great group workout, I ran at an easy pace down to Liberty Park where I completed a single lap around the park then headed back to home for a distance of exactly 10.0 miles. In total, I ran 18.6-miles--my longest run since the Philadelphia Marathon--at a relatively easy pace.
Lastly, I completed what has become my typical weekend non-running workout by doing 300 sit-up and 30 push-ups. |
