20.00	0.00	0.00	0.00	20.00

Today I was able to make up for the miles that I missed by not going on my group run yesterday. To start off the day, I ran over to Big Cottonwood Park and completed four laps around the softball complex before heading back. The total distance of this easy-pace run was 2.4 miles.

Early, in the afternoon, I went out for my second run that consisted of running over to the Holladay-Lions Recreation Center where I divided up my workout between the elliptical machine (6.8 miles) and the treadmill (6.9 miles) before jogging back to home. The round-trip distance to and from the Recreation Center was 3.9 miles.

While watching the Sunday morning news programs, I was able to compete 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups for my non-running workout.

Rossy nice miles, are these all running miles? and I love the video on you tube just watched it, looks like a cool gang you had there.

Since I'm recovering from a calf injury, over the past few weeks I have been splitting up my workouts between running on the treadmill or outside(at a slow pace) and the elliptical machine. I try to avoid the latter when I'm not injured because it takes me a long period of time to run any considerable distance on the elliptical machine (i.e., it took me an hour to go 6.8 miles). However, I'm hoping I can get back to some speed training and running marathon-pace miles within the next couple of weeks.

Also, a belated happy birthday and way to get in some good mileage this past weekend! I also "hate treadmills," but I have convinced myself that they help build the mental toughness (i.e., in terms a patience and running at a consistent pace) that is needed to persevere through a marathon.
