After a really long run yesterday, my plan was to keep this run short compared to my other Sunday morning workouts. As a result, I headed out into the cold morning air and tried running off the soreness in my legs by going up to Olympus High School. I then ran miles 10-16 on the Salt Lake Marathon Course before retuning to home. In total, I was able to get in 10.9 miles at a 7:55 pace (the good news is that my last three full miles were the fastest with the following splits: 6:58, 6:53, and 7:17). By the way, I run this route all the time and today every incline seem brutally steep.
With this shorter run, I was able to watch the Sunday-morning news shows while getting in my non-running routine of 300 sit-ups, 30 push-ups, 10 metronomes, and a 100-second wall sit. In addition, I was able to get in a short 3.5-mile bike ride in the afternoon to the store and back.
