In order to catch up on my sleep (my weak excuse for sleeping in), I saved my running workout until the evening. As a result, after I got home from work I put on my Vibram Five Fingers and headed out for an easy-pace run down to Granite High School. Once at the school, a completed two laps around the track. By the way, the contrast between the tack and the road is pretty sharp when you are wearing Five Fingers; that is, the rigidity of the payment is amazing. Following my short track workout, I headed back home by way of Big Cottonwood Park. I covered a total of 6.2 miles during my run, which happens to be my longest run to date in Five Fingers! My aim is to eventually get my Five-Finger mileage up to where my feet are strong enough to run a marathon in a pair of racing flats. I have my work cut out for me with this objective, but hopefully I can get to this point by April 17th (i.e., the day of the Salt Lake City Marathon).
For my non-running workout, it was sort of a recovery day in that I was only able to get in 320 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. |
