My legs felt pretty strong after yesterday’s long-run; that is, I think the icing of my knees last night really helped my recovery.  In order to stretch out my legs, I went for a 4.3-mile easy pace run over to Cottonwood Creek Park and back.  During my run, it felt really good to enjoy the nice sunny weather along the Salt Lake Valley.

It was the repeat of day six (i.e., week 2, day 3) of the Push-up Challenge.  I accomplished a total of 85 push-ups in five sets that consisted of 16, 17, 14, 14, and a max out of 24 push-ups.  Since this was the most max-set push-ups that I have ever completed and I felt pretty good afterwards, I will move on to week three of the Push-up Challenge.  In addition, I was able to get in 420 sit-ups, a 90-second plank on elbows and toes, 24 side planks (elbow-floor touches), 10 bridges (held each for approximately 10 seconds), and 20 metronomes.
