This morning, I jogged 3.3 miles down to the Salt Lake Running Company for a Group run.  However, my right shin/ankle was so sore that it caused me to go at a much slower pace than normal, as a result, I missed the group by almost 5 minutes and of course I was never able to catch up.  So I just followed behind the main group up to Sugar House Park and completed one lap around the outer trail of the park before heading back to the store.  The total distance of this run was 5.0 miles at an easy pace.  I then ran 3.4 miles back to home before heading off to an American Lung Association meeting with our Fight for Air Climb volunteers.

I went for another run later in the evening with the objective getting in some mileage without too much pain by running around the trail at Big Cottonwood Park.  However, I only made two laps around the park before my right shin was throbbing.  Consequently, I hobbled back home and called it day after just 2.7 miles for this evening run. 

In regards to my non-running workout, I completed 2.3 miles on the bike and 300 sit-ups.

Five-Minute Plank Challenge:  2:00 (but it took two tries to get to two minutes)

Trying-To-Go-Out-Of-My-Way-To-Eat-Healthy Challenge:  serving of mixed fruit and a whole wheat pancake
