It was not raining this morning, but it was the coldest morning since I started going on my short pre-6:00 am runs; for example, this was the first day that I could see my breath as I ran. Sporting my Vibram Five Fingers, I ran over to Big Cottonwood Park and completed two-and-a-quarter laps around the softball complex before heading back. The neat thing about this 1.8-mile run was that the Wasatch Mountain Range was covered with snow; therefore, bringing a lit bit of light to the morning darkness.
Following work, I accomplished my first treadmill interval workout in almost a month (i.e., since September 2nd). In regards to this speed training, I ran 6 miles of half-mile intervals (i.e., the slow halves at 8.7 miles per hour and the fast halves at 10.7) in a time of 37:17. I followed this interval workout with a 0.2-mile cool-down run at marathon pace. In addition, after I arrived at home, I went out for a nice one-mile evening jog around the neighborhood before deciding to call it a day.
For my non-running workout, I completed 200 sit-ups, 32 push-ups, 60 (50, 40, 30, 20, lbs) curls, and 10 (50 lbs) reverse curls. |
