This morning I woke up and it was pouring buckets. Since it was dark and raining outside, I almost talked myself out of going on my sub-6:00-am run. However, I strapped on my Vibram Five Fingers, pulled over a windbreak, and just headed out. At first, I tried to run around the numerous puddles, but this was too much work. Consequently, I just ran through them and it was a blast. The total distance of this run over to Big Cottonwood Park and two laps around the softball complex was 1.7 miles at an easy pace. Afterwards, I was completely soaked, but this is what running is all about!
After work, it was back to the treadmill and making a conservative effort to increase my pace. I completed a total of 4.1 miles with 3.4 miles of this distance at a marathon pace. In addition, after I got home I went for a short 0.6-mile jog around the neighborhood.
Lastly, my non-running workout consisted of 200 sit-ups, 34 push-ups, and 10 metronomes. |
