Today was marathon eve; consequently, my fifth--and final--day of tapering. In order to get well rested for the race, I scheduled a vacation day from work. It was a good thing, because during the entire day I had an upset stomach; however, I was eventually able to settle it through rest-and-relaxation and by taking doses of medicine. For my running workout, I ran to the Big Cottonwood Park, over to 45th South, up to 15th East, and then over to Millcreek Elementary before heading back home. In addition, I jogged a half a mile home from the grocery store. The total distance of my two runs was 4.1 miles at an easy pace.
Due to my stomach sickness and because it was the day before the race, I limited my non-running workout to just 200 sit-ups and 3 metronomes. |
