I took another day off of work to study for the CFA. Consequently, I took advantage of another gorgeous day by doing my running workout outside. To warm-up, I ran to Smith’s to pick up some groceries and back home. Then I did an easy-pace 9.5-mile run that went from Big Cottonwood Park over to Murray Holladay Road, up to Holladay Boulevard, down Arbor Lane, through the Holladay neighborhoods to Walker Lane, over to the Cottonwood Country Club, then back to Big Cottonwood Park where I did one lap around the softball complex before heading home.
On a side note, while one my run, I had a gentleman who was walking his dog stop me and ask, “Are you Kirilenko?” This is fourth time while I have been running that someone has thought I was either the Utah Jazz forward or his brother.
Today was also day eight (i.e., week 3, day 2) of the Push-up Challenge in which I completed a total of 101 push-ups over five sets which consisted of 20, 25, 15, 15, and a max out of 26 push-ups. Since day nine does not have a set below 20 push-ups, I’m not looking forward to it, but we’ll see what happens. In addition, I was able to complete 640 sit-ups, a 60-second plank on elbows and toes, 30 side planks (elbow-floor touches), 12 bridges (held each for approximately 10 seconds), and 25 metronomes. |
