Okay, when I woke up this morning my right foot felt sore. However, I still wanted to give my morning run a try; therefore, I ran over to Big Cottonwood Park and met up with one of my friends from the Salt Lake Running Company. We proceeded to run the 5.25 miles up to the Mount Olympus trailhead. After a few miles, my right foot stopped hurting, but I could not get full push off with it and it felt a little bit tender and sore. I made the climb in 48:23 (i.e., a 9:11 pace), which is not too bad. Following my run back to home, I gave my right foot an ice bath that felt great. The total distance of this run was 11.8 miles at a relatively easy pace.
In order to finish up my Sunday workout and to give my sore foot a break, I biked over to the Lions Rec Center in Holladay where I hit the elliptical machine for 7.1 miles. Then I hit the treadmill for an easy pace 4.0-mile run (it took a good 1.5 miles for my foot to adjust to running). Since the weight room is next to the pool, it’s extremely humid. Consequently, my gym clothes were completely waterlogged in sweat. In other words, it was a great workout!
Besides the 3.8-mile bike ride to the Rec Center and back, I completed 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups for my non-running workout. |
