This morning, I woke up just after 5:00 am and forced myself to get out the door for a short wakeup run. Refusing to look at the temperature (i.e., if I knew exactly how cold it was, I would have absolutely used the frigid weather as an excuse to stay indoors), I slipped on my Vibram Five Fingers and ran over to Big Cottonwood Park where I completed a single lap around the softball complex before heading back. The total distance of this run was 1.3 miles at an easy pace, but at 7:37 minutes per mile, this was my fastest pace while wearing Five Fingers. In summary, this was by far my coldest morning run since the end of last winter.
After work, I headed home then outside for a nice evening run up to the Smith-Kiln Chimney at the Brickyard Shopping Plaza and back. The total distance of this run was and even 5.0 miles at an easy pace.
For my non-running workout, I completed 200 sit-ups, 30 push-ups, 100 (50, 40, 30, 20 lbs) curls, and 20 (50 lbs) reverse curls. |
