Okay, this morning I jogged 3.35 miles down to the Salt Lake Running Company where I joined up with the gang for a group run. My friend Soren, recovering from some really annoying and frustrating injuries, joined the group for the first time in awhile which was great. For our run, we kept it at an easy pace (i.e., high sevens to mid-eights with the pace) while running up to Sugar House Park and completing an outer and inner lap of the park before heading back. During this run, I found out that Rob had what sounded as the exact same injury as myself but in his left leg; therefore, my conclusion is that we are just an unlucky group when it comes to injuries. The total distance of this run was 6.35 miles.
While jogging the 3.4 miles back to home, I noticed that my right shin was become sore and along with my knee stiffening up. However, I did go out for a second easy pace 5-mile errand run up to the Holladay (i.e., to pick up some books) and back before calling it day.
For my daily non-running workout, I just completed 300 sit-ups.
Five-Minute Plank Challenge: 2:00
Trying-To-Go-Out-Of-My-Way-To-Eat-Healthy Challenge: tuna fish whole-wheat sandwich and a chocolate protein shake (I had never consumed one of these shakes, but I figure I need to concrete on eating more protein; that is, maybe a lack of protein is causing all my muscle related injuries?)
