On April 10th, I purchased my first pair of trail-running shoes (Brooks Cascadia 4) and I have been slowly breaking them in since by wearing them around the house. With today’s perfect weather (i.e., sunny and dry), I decided to go for my first run in my Cascadia 4s by doing laps on the trail that goes around the parameter of Big Cottonwood Park. I love running in a new pair of shoes and these Brooks felt absolutely comfortable on my feet! After 12.5 laps of the park (in other words, 15.2 miles at an easy pace), I highly recommend these shoes for anyone shopping for a pair of trail-running shoes. I can absolutely see why these trail runners received the Runner’s World Editor’s Choice award.
For my non-running workout, it was another repeat of week four of the Push-up Challenge. This time I completed 132 push-ups over five sets which consisted of 30, 25, 25, 25, and a max set of 27 push-ups. This was the most push-ups that I have ever completed over five sets; therefore, I’m slowly improving. In addition, I was able to complete 200 sit-ups. |
