This morning I woke up and ran 3.3 miles down to the new Sugar House location of the Salt Lake Running Company for a group run (this new location is 1.2 miles further away than the old Highland Drive location). For our group run we knocked out an even 8.0 miles that consisted of running down 600 East to Liberty Park and completing three laps around the wood-chip trail before heading back. Our average pace was 6:55 with the following mile splits: 7:29, 7:03, 6:56, 7:08, 6:55, 6:55, 7:05, and 5:54. My legs were still tired from yesterday’s speed workout; therefore, that last mile was a great running-on-tired-legs training for the Salt Lake City Marathon (yikes, it’s only two weeks way). I jogged back home by way of Big Cottonwood Park and as the snow started to fall, I completed three laps around the softball complex before heading home. The total distance of this return was 5.1 miles.
For my non-running workout, I completed 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. |
