Shortly after getting out of bed, I did some stretches before running 2.1 miles at an easy pace up to the Salt Lake Running Company. For our weekly group run, the marathon-training schedule called for a long run day of 14-16 miles. Consequently, we knocked out 15.5 miles in a run through the foggy morning air that involved a lap around Sugar House Park, to 1300 South, up to 2700 East, and past 3300 South then our typical 1700-1900 East and 3300-2400 South loop before returning to the store. With an average pace of 7:06, my splits for this run were as follows: 8:01, 7:11, 6:36, 7:07, 7:14, 6:51, 7:01, 7:15, 7:18, 8:00, 6:46, 6:32, 7:10, 6:59, 6:53, and 3:15.
Following a 2.1-mile jog back to home, a good breakfast, and a recovery nap, I headed up to University of Utah to study for the CFA. This outing entailed 3.1 miles of easy-pace running to and from the bus stop.
Finally, my non-running workout consisted of 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. |
