This Sunday morning, I woke up early and jogged 0.65 of a mile over to Big Cottonwood Park to run with my buddy Soren.  It was just drizzling and when we started out, but it progressively came down harder throughout the run.  Since it was un-seasonally warm, the rain never turned to snow.  For this run, we ran up and over to The Blue Plate Diner on 2100 South then ran miles 3.5 to 10.5 on the Salt Marathon Course.  When we got past Murray-Holladay Road on Holladay Boulevard, we cut down the street that the Post Office is on and ran the scenic Walker Lane rout to Highland Drive before heading back to the park.  The total distance of this run was an even 16.0 miles at a relatively easy pace (i.e., 7:45 minutes per mile).  However, we were completely soaked and it was a tough and challenging workout, but much needed.  I then cooled down by jogging the 0.65 of a mile back to home.

For my daily non-running workout, I completed 300 sit-ups, 30 push-ups, and a 90-second wall sit.

5-minute Plank Challenge:  2:05 (another PR, but brutally harsh)
