On this beautiful Memorial-Day Monday along the Wasatch Front, I hit the streets for with the objective of covering over ten miles, mixing a few hills, and keep a sub-seven-minute pace for the first five miles. As a result, I headed south zigzagging through neighborhoods to 6200 South then started the climb up to Holladay Boulevard when I hit the five mile mark at 34:43 (i.e., a 6:56 pace). Running the Holladay Boulevard part of the Salt Lake Marathon course in reverse, I ran to Murray-Holladay Road then headed back to home by way of Big Cottonwood Park. In total, I completed 11.1 miles at a relatively easy pace (total time 1:19:50, 7:12 minutes per mile).
For my non-running workout, I completed 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. |
