Practicing for the my big marathon race on the 24th--the Deseret News Marathon--I jogged 2.10 miles to the bus stop, took the UTA up to the University of Utah, then ran at an easy pace 3.9 miles past Hogle Zoo and up to Ruth’s Diner (east end of the parking lot). I then proceeded to run the last 12.55 miles of the marathon course that ends at the northeast corner of Liberty Park. I managed to average a 7:10 minutes-per-mile pace over this distance (5.0 miles at marathon pace). I then ran a cool down lap around Liberty Park (by the way, they are still cleaning up from the oil spill) then to the bus stop and the bus stop to home. The total distance of my cool-down run was 2.85 miles at a very relaxed pace.
In regards to my non-running workout, I completed 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. |
