Today, I evenly split my running with a 5k at marathon pace and a 5k at an easy pace.  Most of my running was on the treadmill during breaks and following work.  However, after I got home from work, I went out for a late evening run over to Big Cottonwood Park where I completed a single lap around the softball complex before heading back.

In regards to my non-running workout, I completed 300 sit-ups, 30 push-ups, 40 (60 lbs) butterflies, 100 (50, 40, 30 lbs) curls, and 40 (50 lbs) reverse curls.

Somehow I feel your 5k at marathon pace and your 5k at easy pace is still faster than my 10k PR.

Burt, actually some of my easy pace miles can be pretty slow; that is, I really enjoy running at a ten-minute pace. I remember Sasha blogging that slow runs are good for recovery; therefore, every time I take it easy on a run, I just attribute it to accomplishing recovery. In addition, you keep up a really respectable pace; especially after 14 years of not running. Plus, you have accomplished something that I have never done; that is, a sub-5-minute mile (I got within 8 seconds in high school, but could never get any closer). Run on Burt!
