This morning, I completed my typical Saturday routine of running 3.35 miles down to the Salt Lake Running Company where I met up with the gang for a group run. We put together a new route for this run, which included a section of the city that I have never run before. As a group of four, we ran through Sugar House Park then took 2700 South up to Tanner Park where I discovered the “new” bike path. Actually, its a few years old, but the last time I had been to Tanner Park was 3-4 years ago, so it was new to me. Just like the Foothill Drive/Wasatch Boulevard bike path, this one was a roller coaster, thus making for a great workout. We then took the Foothill Drive/Wasatch Boulevard bike path to 2100 South and dropped back down to the Sugar House Park then returned to the Salt Lake Running Company. The total distance of this run was 11.15 miles a 7:22 pace (i.e., 8.0 miles at an easy pace and the last 3.15 miles at marathon pace).
After picking up a new pair of CEP compression socks (green!) along with a new pair of Vibram Five Fingers, I ran over of Liberty Park to try out my new minimalist shoes with a lap around the park. I then decided to do a hill workout with a run up to the Anderson Library on Foothill Drive before jogging back to home. The total distance of this run was 10.5 a very relaxed pace.
In regards to my daily non-running workout, I was able to complete 300 sit-ups and a 100-second wall sit.
