It was extremely difficult to get out of bed this morning; that is, I think my body was still warming up from yesterday’s post-work run. However, I did not want to break my two- weekday string of sub-6:00-am runs. Consequently, I headed out for a short 1.5-mile run over to Big Cottonwood Park where I completed a single lap around the softball complex before heading home. I’m hoping to get in some speed play after work.
Following work I completed 5 miles of half-mile intervals (i.e., the slow halves at 9.2 miles per hour, while the fast halves at 11.2) in 29:48. I was aiming for six miles, but this was my first at 9.2 and 11.2 speeds for my intervals (so I was really feeling it) and my hamstring really started to tighten up during my last quick half mile. Consequently, I completed 0.2 miles at marathon pace before calling it day.
Finally, in regards to my non-running workout, I completed 300 sit-ups, 30 push-ups, 160 (50, 16 lbs) curls, and 60 (50 lbs) reverse curls. |
