Since I got off work later than normal, I jumped on the treadmill only for a quick 1.2-mile run (i.e., half mile warm-up at marathon pace, half-mile at tempo pace, and a 0.2 mile cool-down at marathon pace). After I got home, I went out for a late-evening, easy-pace run up to the Brickyard Shopping Plaza then back by way of Big Cottonwood Park where I completed a single lap around the softball complex before heading home. The total distance of this second run was 5.1 miles.
With all the interval workouts, long runs, and biking to work that I have done over the past couple of weeks, my legs are feeling a little heavy/tired. Consequently, since the D-News Marathon is exactly one week away, after a few half-marathon-plus distance runs this weekend, I’m going to try to take it easy by just running around four miles per day Monday-Friday of next week (i.e., tapering before the big race).
Lastly, my non-running workout consisted of 200 sit-ups, 28 push-ups, 60 (50, 40, 30 lbs) curls, and 20 (50 lbs) reverse curls. |
