After a good night of sleep, I ran over to Sugar House Park and completed one lap around both the outside and inside loops of the park before heading back home. The total distance of the run was 13.2 miles at an easy. Only two weeks to go before the Salt Lake Marathon!
Today was another repeat of day nine (i.e., week 3, day 3) of the Push-up Challenge; that is, I’m starting to feel like Bill Murray in the movie Ground Hog Day. I accomplished a total of 139 push-ups, but once again I had to do six sets to complete these push-ups. These sets included 22, 28, 20, 20, a max out of 24, and an extra set of 25 push-ups. After accomplishing 30 consecutive push-ups last night, I was hoping to be able to complete this workout; however, I think my shoulders were a little tired and sore from the 60 butterflies I did in the gym yesterday. I’ll continue with the same workout routine for next week (i.e., continue to repeat day nine, do a max set of push-ups everyday, and set aside time in the weight room for butterfly exercises). In addition to push-ups, I was able to complete 200 sit-ups. |
