On this Indianapolis-500 Sunday, I essentially took a recovery day from yesterday’s twenty-plus mile run up Mill Creek Canyon. However, I did get some running in by jogging back from Smith’s after picking up some groceries. Then after the rain let up and the sun came out, I went on a mid-afternoon run over to Big Cottonwood Park where I ran two laps around the outer path and a single lap around the Soft Ball Complex before running back home. The total distance of these combined runs was 4.2 miles at an easy pace.
During my non-running workout, besides doing my standard 200 sit-ups, I set a personal record for most consecutive push-ups by completing 35 in a row! Even though this amount is only 14 more push-ups than I did when I commenced the Push-up Challenge back on February 13th, it’s a two-thirds increase. However, I’m still far, far away from my objective of accomplishing 100 consecutive push-ups. |
