Thank goodness for recovery socks because after wearing them yesterday evening, my legs did not feel too sore this morning. After I jogged 1.1 miles back home from getting my haircut, I headed back out and hit the streets to Liberty Park and back. Running through Big Cottonwood Park and over to 4500 South, I ran down to 700 East. In order to gain some experience running that dreaded hill at approximately the 17.5-mile spot of the Salt Lake Marathon Course, I ran down 700 East to 4660 South (i.e., where the hill starts). Then I proceeded to run miles 17.5-23.3 of the course then took a full lap of Liberty Park before heading back home. The total distance of this run was 14.3 miles at a recovery pace.
Finally, while watching an extremely exciting USA-Canada gold medal men’s hockey game (it went into overtime where the USA just came up short by the score of 2-3), I completed 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups for my daily non-running workout. |
