Today was by far the most beautiful day in the Salt Lake Valley for 2011; that is, sunny and upper 50s. However, I was really stiff and sore from yesterday’s 10k (especially my dreaded hamstrings). It’s funny, if you are continuously doing recovery workouts on the treadmill and the elliptical machine then bust out a sub-6:00 pace 10k, your body sure feels it the next day. With the Salt Lake Marathon almost two months away, I have my work cutout for me.
Anyway, I headed out into the perfect weather and jogged 3.6 miles over to the Lions Recreation Center they back to home just to test out my leg. I had to dig down deep (i.e., I was seriously thinking about calling it day due to the soreness), but I could not resist the nice weather (i.e., it was the first day that I was wearing shorts for an outdoor run this year) I headed out for a run up to the REI, down to Kinko’s, back to home, then to Harmons to pick up some groceries before returning to home and calling it a day. My total mileage from this run was 15.7 miles at an easy pace.
My non-running workout consisted of another 300 sit-up day.
