Happy MLK Day! Following work, I headed home and out the door for an evening run. A storm started to move through the Valley today; therefore, the air was noticeably cleaner. In regards to my evening workout, I ran over to Millcreek Elementary then back by way of 1500 South and Big Cottonwood Park. Once at the Park, I completed four laps around the softball complex before heading home. The total distance of this run was 4.7 miles at an easy pace.
In regards to my non-running workout, I completed 300 sit-ups, 30 push-ups, 80 (50, 40, 30 lbs) curls, and 20 (50 lbs) reverse curls. Also, after reading an article on core exercises over the weekend from the most recent edition of Runner’s World, I decided to recommit myself to doing more core exercises than my typical sit-ups on a daily basis. Consequently, today I worked in 12 tick-tocks on each leg, 6 samurai chops on each leg, and an Alphabet plank (i.e., funny sounding, but effective exercises) into my workout. |
