Taking a break from work, I hit the treadmill to watch the second half of the Jazz-Hawks game in which my Jazz got their fourth consecutive comeback win (third straight on the road)! For this workout I ran 11.6 miles at a relatively easy pace (i.e., 7:47 minutes per miles).
For my non-running workout I completed 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups.
If you have not checked out today’s WSJ, there is a great book review on Unbroken. I found it to be an inspirational article on the story of Louis Zamperini who was a record-setting Olympic miler before heading off to WWII. In short, his plane was shot down and he was stranded on a life raft in the Pacific for 47 days before being captured and surviving a POW camp. Laura Hillenbrand is the author of Unbroken and through researching for her renowned Seabiscuit book, she noticed that Louis was always on the 1930’s sports pages for his running and wondered whatever happened to him (i.e., not knowing anything about his WWII experiences). In addition, Laura is suffering from a debilitating disease which makes writing about Louis inspiring. I’m a big fan of running and history books, so I cannot wait until Unbroken hits the shelves.
