Since I missed my weekly trail run last week, I tried to make up for it a little bit today by running over to Big Cottonwood Park and completing twelve laps around the park’s outer trail. The total mileage of this workout was 14.3 miles at an easy pace (took me 2:01:37 to finish; that is, an 8:30 minutes-per-mile pace). In addition, there was a little pain in my left foot that was leftover from yesterday workout; as a result, a few negative thoughts about quitting went through my mind after four laps. However, knowing that the Philadelphia Marathon is only two weeks away, I just continued to run by taking it one lap at a time. It was definitely a gut-check run and I was just happy to finish this workout.

In regards to my non-running workout, I completed 200 sit-ups, 30 push-ups, and a 80-second wall sit.

Woot for the sick run today. I happen to love trail runs, even if its at a park. Anything to get me off the roads. What are you gunning for at Philly? I've never run it before but I've heard it's a fairly fast course.

I’ve also heard that it's pretty flat and fast; therefore I'll try to lower my PR (2:47). However, I'm a little worried about the cold weather; that is, I shiver when it's 50 degrees and from what I've heard it usually in the low 30s for this race. I always put on numerous layers when I run outside during the frigid Utah winter, but I'm never running 26.2 miles as fast as I can during these winter workouts. Consequently, in the next couple of weeks, I need to figure out how much to wear without wearing too much. We'll see what happens. Run on!
