Spring weather is starting to arrive along the Salt Lake Valley (i.e., 55 degrees)! Today was another beautiful, sunny Saturday and I went on and easy-pace run up to REI to pick up some Clif Bars and Shot Blocks for the lunches I take to work and in preparation for next weekend’s long run. The total distance of the run was 12.3 miles.
For my non-running workout, I completed day 6 of the push-challenge by accomplishing a total of 81 push-ups in five sets that consisted of 16, 17, 14, 14, and max out of 20 push-ups. Unlike on Wednesday, I was able to get through this push-up workout by increasing the rest time between sets from sixty seconds to three-to-four minutes. However, since I barely completed this push-up challenge and did not complete Wednesday’s within the five sets, I will repeat week two with the objective of increasing my max set on all three days. In addition, while listening to the Utah take on BYU, I also did 400 sit-ups and 10 metronomes. |
