With an inch of snow covering the ground from yesterday’s storm, I strapped on my Vibram Five Fingers and headed out just after 5:30 am for my morning workout. Taking my typical wakeup course, I jogged over to Big Cottonwood Park and completed three-and-a-half loops around the softball complex. On the way back, I decided that for fun I would run through the fresh snow on the park’s field to see how it would feel in the Five Fingers. In short, it felt like running barefoot on a white, sandy, cold beach. In total, I covered 2.4 miles on this morning run.
Following a busy and long day at work, using the bike paths, I ran from the International Center to the Salt Lake International Airport then from the Smith’s to home. The combined distance of these two runs was 4.8 miles at an easy pace.
Finally, my non-running workout consisted of 220 sit-ups, 33 push-ups, 20 (50 lbs) curls, and 20 (50 lbs) reverse curls. |
