This Saturday morning, I ran 3.4 miles down to the Salt Lake Running Company for a group run. With the exception of our group leader (who was surprised to see me since she had no heard the unfortunate news about our Ragnar team disbanding), I met up with a whole new group of runners, which is neat and should be a good sign that we’ll have a large Saturday-morning group throughout the winter.  For this run, we ran up to Sugar House Park and completed one lap around the outer loop one lap around inter-road before heading back to the store.  The total distance of this run was 6.2 miles and I kept it at a relatively easy pace.  Unlike the past few group runs, I did not feel like pushing the pace during this on, but I felt content in helping out our leader in making sure all of our new runners knew the way.  I then jogged the 3.4 miles back to home as a little bit of rain began to come down (in other words, perfectly cool running weather).

After working on some of the logistics for the Fight for Air Climb that I am volunteering with the American Lung Association to help organize, I went out for an evening jog in my Vibram Five Fingers.  For this run, I ran up to Saint Mark’s Hospital and back home by way of Big Cottonwood Park, which included a lap around the softball complex.  The total distance of this run was 2.8 miles.

Lastly, my non-running workout consisted of 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups.
